Baseball America posted their Best Tools lists for both Double-A and High-A (sub. req’d). Brandon Laird was voted as the Best Power prospect in the Eastern League while Corban Joseph was named the Best Defensive Second Baseman in the Florida State League. That means he’s either improved with the glove, or the FSL infield talent stinks this year.

The Rookie GCL Yanks‘ game was suspended due to rain with two outs in the bottom of the third. Nothing exciting happened, but here’s the box score anyway. I’ll update the stats when they complete the game, presumably tomorrow.
