2012 Minor League Rosters

The minor league season is just five days away, and Josh Norris has the full slate of rosters for the four full season affiliates plus Extended Spring Training and players rehabbing from injuries. You’ll notice that the Triple-A rotation is mostly empty at the moment, giving the impression that David Phelps, D.J. Mitchell, and Adam Warren still have a chance to crack the big league roster. Ravel Santana is currently listed under ExST and not rehab, which is good to see.

As expected, the Low-A Charleston squad is going to be stacked. Gary Sanchez is headed back there to start the season and will headline a lineup that also features Dante Bichette Jr., Cito Culver, Angelo Gumbs, Tyler Austin, Ben Gamel, and Mason Williams. Jose Campos and Bryan Mitchell highlight the pitching staff. I don’t see too many surprises in the rosters other than Evan DeLuca in ExST rather than Low-A, though it does stink that sleeper Matt Tracy is in the rehab group. I was looking forward to seeing him out of the chute.

I think Taylor Morton to EST is a bigger surprise than Evan Deluca

Did you decide on prospect watch? Maybe just do the whole River Dog team …

I just read that Tim Norton was pitching in Double A spring training. Why is he under rehab?

Also wonder when Jeremy Bleich will return to game action. Heard he is throwing bullpens and should be ready to face hitters very soon

Hopefully twenty years down the line, several of Dante Bichette Jr., Cito Culver, Angelo Gumbs, Tyler Austin, Ben Gamel, Mason Williams, Jose Campos and Bryan Mitchell will be able to say they came up together through the Yankee farm system like Jeter, Mo, Pettitte and Posada say today.

DeLuca has apparently been in the mid 80′s this Spring. He’s not going anywhere.
