Hello everyone,
I was just wondering, with Montero now going to the Mariners who do the Yankees have in there farm besides Romine and Cervelli. I know Russell Martin will play full time but I was just wondering who else they have.
Thanks for any input.

Have you heard of Gary Sanchez ?? As well as Eduardo Nunez?? Sanchez is young but a sweet catcher. Nunez will take over for Jeter next year. Anderson Feliz is also a great baller. As far as pitching now we have campos as well also manny b. laird and gambel are good outfield prospects as well

From what I've read, the Yankees didn't believe that montero would ever be able to play catcher on a full time basis. Some question whether he has the athleticism to play anywhere in the field for that matter. Projects as a demon young type I hear. I think Sanchez has a bright future.

Sanchez is gonna be a stud! Plus, J.P. (whom I trust in these matters) says that Campos is LEGIT. We'll see how it works out - in the mean time, sell Pineda now and hope that Montero gets traded again if you have a stash of him.

I know a lot a AROD fans are going to hate me for saying this but can we put Nunez on third. I think Jeter has two or three years left at SS before moving to DH.

I dont think Jeter will be a DH ever. I know he has a .300+ lifetime average, but I just dont see it happening. I think he lacks the power. Once he is older, it may not be a bad idea if still continues to hit .290+. When I think DH i think of David Ortiz, or Texeira. The big muscular guys... but that may be because I grew up watching baseball during the steroid era.

I think Cervelli will get the job coming out of Spring Training, unless they pick up someone else.

Normaly I agree but they made Posada a DH.

Cervelli will have the back up Catcher job but Martin will be the primary.

romine will be backup catcher now and jeter will not dh because he only has a few years on his contract left what is it 2 or 3 with an option or something

The Yankees have about 3 great catching prospects still in their minors to include Austin Romine, Gary Sanchez, and Cervelli. I can't believe that I just bought a Montero autographed ball and it arrived yesterday and now he is gone. I had a couple of Hector Noesi autograph cards too as I seemed to pick his out of box breaks.

Hmmm, does this open the DH spot up for Prince Fielder? No idea who the Yankees are going to DH now unless they don't believe A-Rod newest surgery in Germany will work and are ready to make him the DH and put Nunez at third.

Getting Pineda is awesome for the rotation though. Kuroda isn't too shabby either. The funny thing is that I found out about the trade via E-bay. I was checking the latest cards for the Yankees and kept wondering why there were a ton of Pineda in Seattle uniform cards. Went to ESPN and found the trade. Hehehehehe!
