High-A Tampa was rained out yet again. They’re going to make this one up as part of a doubleheader next Tuesday. LHP Pedro Feliciano was scheduled to make his latest rehab appearance in this game, so I assume he’ll just throw tomorrow instead. It would have been his first appearance on two day’s rest rather than three.





Great outing by Camarena, I’ll be interested to see what they do with him next year. SI seems logical, but it’ll be his third year with the organization and he is supposed to be polished so Low A might be a possibility.
Camerana was drafted in 2011, this is his first year pitching pro-ball he doesn’t even turn 20 until November.
I think both him and Cote might see Charleston (doubt it but I hope both do, a rotation of Campos, Cote, Camerena, Rutckjy, and Rookie Davis would be a fun follow)
*Hensley will most definitely start next year in SS
Jordan Cote and Daniel Camarena are both interesting propects.
But where is Cote?
Cote last pitched a month ago. I forget what the injury was, I don’t think it was that serious, but I’d imagine they’re being careful, Cote was a bonus baby. Only a week or so left in the GCL season, so I doubt he takes the mound again this year.
Hope he can pitch in winter ball
I think he just hit his innings limit and was shut down for the year. Could be misremembering, though.
Cote felt a little soreness in his elbow and has placed on the 60-day DL in early August. Should be ready to work in Instructs. The Yankees would never have a young kid pitch in Winter Ball. They did it with Joba and Kennedy years ago in Hawaii but they were proven collegearms with substantial innings under their belt.
“Almonte walked twice”
Wait…What?
I guess you could say it was a ‘smooth’ home run.
LOL!
Goody is dominating low A. Hopefully he’s a fast mover like Montgomery.
it is quite possible
Call up CoJo. DFA Cano.
I wonder if Eduardo was going for the trifecta and planning to steal home when he was picked off.
LOL!
“Arguably the best non-Dylan Bundy pitching prospect in baseball”
At least in the sense that a lot of people would argue with that statement.
When does Jose Ramirez pitch? I hope the Yankees are careful with letting him pitch in this weather. He could get hurt. Only two starts left. Might as well shut him down!!!
Ramirez gets hurt when he sneezes… I still imagine he ends up in the pen if he ever makes it. Not because of talent, but because of durability.
I hope roger Clemens does not end up on Yankees. I don’t like the influence he had on pettite taking hgh and I don’t like the drug influence he would have on our young pitching prospects. Roger and his extreme workouts don’t want none of it getting somebody hurt or on drugs.
Clemens was one best pitchers of our generation. I’m certain that there is something he could teach nova.
Hopefully not “Bulking Up 101″.
He’s 50 years old. I think it’s highly unlikely that he breaks back into MLB on this “comeback” attempt. If he does, it won’t be for long.
Even if he’s good enough, he’ll be blackballed like Bonds was. He’s never pitching in the MLB again.
