Five Yankee Prospects Heading to the Arizona Fall League

Written by Greg Fertel | 01 September 2010

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I was without internet for a bit and just had it hooked up this afternoon. Anyway, via Josh Norris, the Yankees will be sending these five guys to play for the Phoenix Desert Dogs:

That's a solid group of prospects that we'll be able to follow this fall. I'm a bit surprised that the Yanks are sending Romine; it seems like he got worn down a bit as the season progressed. Kontos has pitched well since coming back from Tommy John surgery, and this is a way to get him some more innings. Laird, of course, is having a breakout season and is now in Triple-A. I'm a big fan, but Joseph has struggled since his promotion to Trenton, so it will be interesting to see how he does in the AFL.

You can expect my regular(sporadic) posting to resume after these past few days off.
