We have entered the last month of the season. Minor league teams only have about two weeks of games left so this will probably be my penultimate trip down to the farm. I figure I will just wait for the season to end to give my final report on the Yankee prospects. So let’s dive in.

This and That
Welcome to the latest edition of my World Famous “This and That” column. This time around we hit on some NFL stuff, some Celtics stuff, some Yankees notes, and even the Phoenix Mercury. So without further ado or gilding the lily, let’s jump right in.

Wow. It has been a long time since we checked in with the Yankees prospects down on the farm. There have been some big developments with the guys we have been following all season. At this point let’s not waste any more time and get right to it.

It has been exactly a month so we are long over due for a trip down to Yankee Land. A lot has happened since last we visited, some good, some bad. We will get into all of it but first I would like to personally thank the Baltimore Orioles for not running away with the division. I can’t say for sure they did not bet on the Yankees to win the East. As we stand of this writing the Yankees and Baltimore are tied atop the AL East. The Yankees are 6 games ahead of the Red Sox who are the first team out of the playoffs. Their Magic number to secure a playoff spot is down to 35. Let’s get into how we got here.

Today was the Major League Baseball trade deadline. The Yankees made a few moves to try to bolster their roster in an attempt to win yet another World Series. The teams biggest need heading into today was bullpen help and that was where the Yankees focused today. Let’s see what they did.

The New York Yankees have made their first trade heading into the deadline. They acquired OF/2B Jazz Chisholm Jr from the Marlins for 3 minor leaguers, C/1B Agustin Ramirez, INF Jared Serna, INF/OF Abrahan Ramirez. My initial reaction is that I don’t love this trade, but I don’t hate it either. Before I get into the reasons why, I want to point out that I can’t say I have seen Chisholm play a lot so I am going by stats mostly and my opinion of him may change once I get to watch him play day in and day out on the Yankees. With that said, let’s get into it.

It’s that time again. That’s right! It’s time for a brand spanking new edition of my world famous This and That column!! This time we will be digging into a little football, a little baseball, and a little basketball. Sadly, there’s no hockey to talk about. Well, without further ado or gilding the lily, lets jump right in.

As we head into the All-Star Break (no Yankee Games for 4 days sucks!) it’s time to head on down to the farm and check in on some of the Yankees top prospects. With a little update on the big club heading into the break.
Continue readingUpdate From Yankee Land
It has been another fortnight so it’s time to head back down to Yankee Land and see what’s going on with the Bronx Bombers. Well, it hasn’t been good. The free fall continues for the Yanks and things don’t look like they are turning around. If there was ever a team that needed an All-Star break it is this one. Well, let’s get into it.
Continue readingAll Things Yankee
OK so I was going to write my next installment of Down on the Farm but I decided to make this an all-encumbering Yankee post instead. It’s for two reasons. 1) There is a lot of stuff going on with the Yankees right now that I want to talk about. And 2) Out of the 7 guys I have been following in the minors, 2 of them are hurt and one of them was called up to the Majors. So I really only had 4 guys to write about. I will do that at then end of this column after I cover what else there is to cover. So, let’s dive in.
