Keith Law posted his mid-season list of the top 25 prospects in the game today (sub. req’d), with Jesus Montero coming in at number six. Austin Romine was listed as one of three players that just missed the cut. Montero was number ten on KLaw’s list back in January, so even though it seems as though move up, he technically went backwards. Six of the nine players ahead of him on the original list have since graduated to the big leagues, and both Domonic Brown and Mike Trout jumped over him in this edition. Romine is the real big climber, he wasn’t even on the preseason list.
Meanwhile, KLaw says Yanks’ 12th rounder Dan Burawa was 93-96 with “big time sink” in his Cape Cod League outing tonight. And finally, four Yankee farmhands have been selected to the Double-A Eastern League All Star Game. Romine, Brandon Laird, Lance Pendleton, and David Phelps, so congrats to them.
