Many prospect followers have recognized the importance of plate discipline in the future success of a minor league prospect. Batting average and home runs are sexier stats to get excited about, but k:bb ratio is often an important marker of a prospect’s approach at the plate. In this post, I will take a look at [...]
Russell Martin‘s strong start to the 2011 season has given Yankee fans some confidence in the short-term security of the catcher position. In the early going, Martin has posted a .983 OPS and a .435 WOBA, and though his walk rate is down from previous years, his power production more resembles the [...]
This is the last of the Questions for 2011 series and it’ll be pretty brief. I’m not going to look much on the macro level, just at a few key players.
Slade Heathcott: We saw patience from Heathcott in 2010–.101 IsoD–but his IsoP was under .100 and that’s not good. So the [...]
Recent news from a number of Yankee beat writers is that Gustavo Molina, not Jesus Montero or Austin Romine, is now the front-runner to win the Yankee backup catcher job to begin the season. There are several likely explanations for this decision. I imagine the main reason for the decision is that the Yankees have [...]
As fans, we tend to treat athletes like commodities, automatons who are supposed to perform with a certain level of proficiency purely for our enjoyment.

Anthony McCarron fills us in on the purported competition between Jesus Montero and Austin Romine for the backup catcher spot:
Girardi said Austin Romine is still competing with Jesus Montero for the backup catcher’s job, at least while Francisco Cervelli recovers. Both [...]
4 years ago, the Yankee farm system was enjoying its first revival in half a decade. After years of terrible drafts and an overall barren system, the Yankees managed to very quickly add to the top of their farm system and become one of the best organizations in baseball, at least temporarily. I [...]
Baseball Prospectus recently published their annual book which is a must read for baseball fans. They’ve also been rolling out some changes to their stats, many of which show up in the annual. The biggest change is their fielding metric, FRAA which you can find out about here. Using FRAA and TAv, or true average [...]
A quote from Mark Newman caught my eye last week:
SICKELS: What about your weaknesses?
NEWMAN: Corner players with power. We have (Brandon) Laird who is a solid prospect, but we are thin for corner bats otherwise in the system. We always try to take the best players available in the draft and on [...]
Yesterday, I posted a piece musing on whether or not Mark Buehrle and/or Chris Carpenter would be come available during the season and whether or not the Yankees should be interested in trading for either one. For the purpose of this post, let’s assume they both are available and the Yankees are interested in [...]
