Open Thread: March 27th Camp Notes

March 27, 2017 by Mike Leave a Comment

Yankees preparing Johnny Barbato for potential starting role with Triple-A Scranton
Thoughts five days prior to Opening Day

The Yankees had an off-day today, their second and final off-day of the Grapefruit League season. The regular season is a little more than five days away now. Can’t wait. Here are the day’s notes:

  • Gleyber Torres was named the James P. Dawson Award winner as the best rookie in Spring Training, the Yankees announced. He hit .448/.469/.931 in 32 plate appearances this spring. The list of recent James P. Dawson Award winners is, uh, not great.
  • It was an off-day for the big leaguers, but not the minor leaguers. Shane Hennigan has the day’s minor league lineups. Josh Norris spoke to James Kaprielian about what he learned during his time in MLB camp, so make sure check that out.
  • In case you missed it earlier, the Yankees reassigned Donovan Solano, Ruben Tejada, and Wilkin Castillo to minor league camp today. There are 35 players still in big league camp.
  • The Yankees return to action tomorrow night with a home game against the Tigers. Masahiro Tanaka is the scheduled starter. That game won’t be televised.

Here is the open thread. MLB Network will show the Indians and Cubs live later tonight, plus the Knicks and Islanders are playing. Talk about those games or anything else here, just not religion or politics.
