A loss at every level
ByThe MRI on Jose Campos‘ elbow showed inflammation, but the timetable for his return is unknown at the moment. I’m glad it’s not a tear, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time for that #trolltrolltroll. Probably going to miss a few weeks.
Ramiro Pena was placed on the DL yesterday, and apparently he has some kind of upper leg injury. A quad or groin, something like that.

C Gary Sanchez: 2-5, 2 K

3B Casey Stevenson: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 E (fielding) — good time to give Dante Bichette Jr. a day, he’s really been struggling

Glad to see Flores looks like he’s beginning to make adjustments
Didnt Pineda also have “only” inflammation.
On the first MRI. Then he toe his labrum while working his way back. Hopefully that’s a lesson and they’ll be careful to give Campos plenty of time to recover before bringing him back.
Pineda had shoulder inflammation, Campos has elbow inflammation …. Two very different separate injuries
shhhhh.
Nelson Figueroa has regressed since signing. Cashman failed.
goes to show that the yankees dont know how to develop milb pitching, even older guys
All the heralded names w/the Riverdogs, Ben Gamel quietly plays another game & gets another hit. This Ronnie Mustelier goes to the next level up and keeps on hitting. Nice to see Laird w/two knocks, & Segedin continues to prove he knows how to play this game. Welcome back CoJo — hope he stays healthy & gets the chance to put something special together. Mason Williams w/2 doubles & Gary Sanchez w/two knocks taking care of business. The entire organization seems snake bit at the moment; would love to see something or someone shake us out of it.
I was told that Tyler Austin was unchallenged with Charleston and needed to be promoted pronto. Austin is obviously bored.
BA the last 20 ABs is hardly the way to decide if someone is ready for a promotion. While he might be struggling, he also might be having bad BABIP luck on hard hit balls or have a slight nagging injury.
To look at it a different way… It’s 2 hits that separates .200 from .300 in 20 ABs, and 3 hits that separates it from .350. Austin could have easily been robbed on two strong defensive plays in the last 4 or 5 games or hit a couple of balls to the warning track with the wind blowing in. And even if he hasn’t 20 ABs is not a sample to decide about promotions on. It’s certainly possible pitchers have made an adjustment or his swing has gotten off track, but it’s also possible that his approach is fine and it’s just a hiccup.
Yikes. How often does a loss at every level happen? Just in time for the Confidence Poll, too.
It will be fun to watch if nothing else.
Ronnie Mustilier (I’m not going to bother learning how to actually spell it just yet) being good would be really cool.
Can Steve Pearce play the OF?
Thank god Campos injury is minor. I don’t think I could have handled him needing TJS.
I kinda wanted to see how low we could drive the confidence poll.
Mike gotta disagree on the austin thing. Citing 4 for 20 as a reason for not promoting guys is silly. I mean if two ground balls squeak through he is 6 for 20 and nobody utterly dominates for nearly a month on luck. Its simply impossible to put up those power numbers combined with the average. He is clearly ready tobe promoted. Hitters should, imo, always be promoted to their level of incompetence as quickly as possible so as to maximize the amount of time available to gain competence at whichever level that is (for bryce harper and mike trout that would be the major leagues, for austin i am thinking its tampa as quickly as possible.
Pitchers are a whole different story. Again just imo its best for them to complete one full year at each level unless they put up matt moore strausburg type dominance.
Anyhoo austinshould be promoted. Also because it would be best if he could play where he could get a few more reps at third.
I was just pointing out that you can’t promote everyone after a hot streak. You need a bigger sample.
Oh absolutely. I was just saying sometimes i find myself wondering if the yankees have their development plan backwards. Too fast with their pitchers too conservative with their players. But fair enough point. I think the hughes joba and banuelos promotions were to aggressive in reaction to the failures of the past. Certainly joba and hughes were rushed. Hughes never should have even had the chance to hurt that hammy in texas.
I don’t buy that nonsense Cashman keeps spouting about Pineda tearing his labrum after the first spring MRI. He knows that how? He’s just trying to protect his butt after another disastrous trade for young pitching. Why did he do the dye-inject MRI if the regular MRI shows labrum tears? Because the regular ones often miss tears. Thats a fact.
Do a dye-inject on Campos then I’ll feel better.
