New York Yankees Minor League Free Agents

Written by Greg Fertel | 17 November 2009

The Game of Baseball Blog hits us with the complete list of minor league free agents. Here are the Yankees on the list:

N.Y. Yankees (17)
Pitchers: RHP Paul Bush, RHP Michael Gardner, RHP Justin Pope, RHP Humberto Sanchez, RHP Jason Stephens, RHP Jose Valdez
Catchers: Brian Peterson, Chris Stewart
Infielders: Doug Bernier, Eric Duncan, Carlos Mendoza, Cody Ransom, Marcos Vechionacci
Outfielders: Edwar Gonzalez, Freddy Guzman, Richie Robnett, John Rodriguez

The two names that stick out at me are Eric Duncan and Humberto Sanchez. Eric Duncan was the Yankees' top prospect for a few years but never really developed into anything. You should check out what Steven Goldman has to say about Duncan. If the Yankees don't bring Duncan back, and I doubt they will, I wish him well with his next organization.

I expect the Yankees to bring Humberto Sanchez back on a minor league deal. They were able to do it before the 2009 season, so I expect them to be able to bring him back again. There is still some hope for him to be a middle reliever.
