Notes? Notes!…
- First round pick RHP Ty Hensley confirmed (on Twitter) that he will make his professional debut with the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League Yankees one week from today. Obviously whatever “abnormality” they found in his shoulder during the pre-signing physical isn’t serious enough to keep him off the mound.
- Apparently scouts are raving about RHP Jose Ramirez and OF Ramon Flores, at least according to Danny Knobler. “He’s 10 times better than Mason Williams,” said the scout of Flores, which is rather ridiculous. We heard Ramirez was throwing gas during his last start.
- Three Yankees — C Gary Sanchez (#29), OF Mason Williams (#32), and OF Tyler Austin (#45) — cracked Marc Hulet’s midseason top 50 prospects list over at FanGraphs. Those rankings are consistent with Baseball America’s and Keith Law’s midseason lists.
- OF Ronnie Mustelier has been placed on the DL after leaving yesterday’s game following a ground ball. The recently signed OF Kosuke Fukudome took his roster spot. RHP Ryan Flannery has been placed on the DL while RHP Mikey O’Brien was activated. [Donnie Collins & Mike Ashmore]
- And finally, RHP Jose Ramirez and OF Ramon Flores were named the High-A Florida State League Pitcher and Offensive Player of the Week, respectively. 1B Matt Snyder took home Short Season NY-Penn League Offensive Player honors.
