Yankees Minor League Baseball Blog

Mike, who was the founding blog in this minor league network, came up with a system that takes three of the great prospects lists out there and sort of blends them together.  I’ll be taking this same system and doing something similar with the Yankees prospects and I’ll be starting the series tomorrow with number ten.

All points indicate to a return to Triple A for minor league pitcher Humberto Sanchez.  That’s not going to stop the pitching prospect from trying to force the team to make room for him with a solid spring.  You can read about Sanchez in a nice player profile by following the link.

Sanchez was the cornerstone of the trade that sent Gary Sheffield to the Tigers.  The one thing that worries me about Sanchez is he really hadn’t shown much until last year.  He had a horrible 2005 and then when he repeated Double A, he tore it up.  He continued to pitch well when he got promoted but he was shutdown with a sore elbow.

Regardless, he appears to have a ton of upside.  He picked up a B+ rating by John Sickels, which is pretty solid but he does say in his book that there are injury and control risks with Sanchez.

Hello, my name is Mitch Paulson and I’ll be covering the Yankees farm system in coordination with one of the great Yankee sites out there, Baseball Savior.  I hope to provide you with a one stop source for anything and everything in the Yankees minor league system and I’ll also be taking a look at some of the Yankees top prospects.  You’ll find minor league game news and hopefully more as the 2007 progresses.

So I hope you make Yankees Minors a regular stop and I hope I can live up to the expectations of the many Yankee fans out there.
