Dellin Betances was one of five prospects off to slow starts highlighted by Kevin Goldstein today. You can read the article on ESPN or Baseball Prospectus, but you need a subscription either way. It’s the usual Betances stuff, meaning nasty stuff but likely to end up in the bullpen because he can’t throw strikes with any consistently.
Triple-A Empire State (8-6 win over Pawtucket) scored four in the top of the ninth for the comeback win
RF Colin Curtis: 1-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 SB — 13 BB and 15 K this year
