Quick Updates

Written by Sean P | 13 July 2010

Here are some quick updates before you get yourself settled in for the all-star game.

Some quick numbers from the Yankee draft picks currently in the Cape Cod league:

Thomas Kahnle, Bourne Braves- 3 IP, 2 BB, 3 K, 0 H, 0 ER, 0.00 ERA

Thomas Kahnle, Brewster Whitecaps- 3.2 IP, 4 BB, 6 K, 6 H, 3 ER, 7.38 ERA

Martin Viramontes, Orleans Firebirds- 14.1 IP, 9 BB, 10 K, 9 H, 4 ER, 2.51 ERA

Dan Burawa, Harwich Mariners- 12.2 IP, 9 BB, 15 K, 11 H, 4 ER, 2.81 ERA

Cameron Hobson, Orleans Firebirds- 24.1 IP, 5 BB, 12 K, 17 H, 8 ER, 2.96 ERA

Stewart IJames, Yarmouth Dennis Red Sox- .197/.328/.288 1 HR, 1 SB

The Yankees are essentially waiting to see how these guys do and then will offer to sign who they like most. Keith Law commented in June that Dan Burawa was impressive as a closer, sitting 93-96 but exhibited a long delievery and some command issues. We'll see how it goes.

- Tyler Austin played in his first GCL game today, going 0-2 with a strike out as the DH. Austin is a precoious catcher who likely will wind up in the OF at some point. Here's what Baseball America said:

" Austin is rough defensively behind the plate, negating his arm strength, and might be better served by a move to third base or perhaps a corner outfield spot. He has excellent raw pull power and runs well enough for a move to the outfield, though he figures to slow down as he matures and fills out."
