I surprised none of you guys didn't post anything about Medina. He dominated.

4 Innings, 1 Hit, 2 BB, 8 K's.

It sounds like they have a few tweeks and corrections they want to get in before sending him out.

What the hell were they doing all of last year? Let's goooooooooooooooo

I can get used to more innings per outing than this.

First start of the season. Didn't pitch at all last year. Probably was limited to 60 or so pitches.

Still curious about why Jasson is in extended ST. Is he not ready for the lowest level of professional ball yet? All the hype means nothing to me yet. I want to see how he does against "professionals"

It sounds like they have a few tweeks and corrections they want to get in before sending him out. But MAN do they sound confident in him. The bolded quote was a new level of bombast that I've never heard from the Yankees when discussing Jasson before. Normally they've been really tempered and level, trying to to stymie the hype train.

Dominguez will begin the season in extended Spring Training, with a chance of making his professional debut with Low-A Tampa later this year. According to Kevin Reese, the Yankees’ senior director of player development, Dominguez was pulled aside recently for a conversation that outlined the organization’s thinking.

“He had this look on his face, like, ‘What did I do?’” Reese said on Monday afternoon. “We made a joke with him that we heard he snuck out of the hotel. Immediately, without hesitation, he goes: ‘Foul ball! No, no, no, that didn’t happen!’ He’s funny, he’s mature. He took it all in stride, had no issues or questions since. And he’s out there doing his work right now.”

“He’s got a ton of talent, a lot of skill, but he hasn’t played in a ton of games,” Reese said. “We’ll be able to iron out anything that he needs to work through, and then once he gets rolling, I’m sure he’s going to be a steamroller through the Minor Leagues. … I apologize that you have to wait a little bit longer for that mystery to unveil itself, but when it comes, you’ll know.”

Welcome back minor leagues. I, for one among many, missed you.

A-Rod.

My fault. I figured it was understood we were talking about Int'l FA teenage signings.....

[ClownPickle]

Problem is people have no clue about player development. Want proof? Name ONE early teenage prospect signing that started their career in a full season league? I'll wait... There is nothing unusual happening here. Adjust expectations.... I'm sure he will be the first to begin his career in Low-A at some point only because of canceled 2020 season and with the elimination of SI and Pulaski.
