Some notes and links:
- Based on his Twitter feed, RHP Ty Hensley (hernia) will throw his first simulated game on Saturday. Seems like he’s on target to join either Short Season Staten Island or the Rookie GCL Yanks when their seasons start next month.
- Ken Rosenthal has a short note about how the Yankees found RHP David Phelps prior to the 2008 draft. Long story short: scouting director Damon Oppenheimer was their to see another prospect and fell in love with Phelps’ competitiveness.
- Ben Badler wrote about the lack of information available for international prospects because teams get them to verbally agree to contracts early, then essentially hide them at their Latin America academies. No one else sees them.
