Colin Curtis is 25, and last year between AA and AAA hit a combined .250 with 7 HR and 48 RBI. The lefty hitter hit .255-10-71 at AA in 2008. Ok, it doesn’t look that impressive.
But Curtis is having a nice spring training for the Yankees this year. Although it would be a major shock to see him on the opening day roster, he may be opening some eyes and could be a midseason callup to the show. Tonight his 3-run PH HR was the difference in a 6-4 Yankees win.
Javy Vazquez went 3 innings, 1 R, 2 hits, 2 walks, 3 K. He made a mistake that Carlos Pena took deep. Romulo Sanchez went 2/3 of an inning and gave up 2 R, 1 ER. Boone Logan made a case for 2nd lefty in the bullpen (a longshot) by facing one batter (Crawford) and getting a K.
Chan Ho Park made his S.T. debut a good one. An inning, 1-2-3 with a K. David Robertson (whom I have been high on since 2007) had a 1-2-3 with 2 Ks. Mark Melancon gave up a run in 2 innings of work, and Dustin Moseley closed out the game.
Jeter had a 2-run double.
Guys looking at midseason callups, besides Curtis, appear to be Melancon, Jon Weber, Kevin Russo and Logan—should none be taken north for opening day.
If you don’t make the team, make an impression. It’s a long season.
