The latest minor moves from around baseball…
- The Yankees have outrighted outfielder Shane Robinson to Triple-A Scranton, per a team announcement. Given that he has been outrighted in the past, Robinson could have refused the assignment and become a free agent. Instead, it appears he’ll remain with the Yankees, who signed him to a minor league deal in February and then designated him for assignment earlier this week. Robinson appeared in two Yankees games prior to his designation, collecting a hit and a pair of walks in five plate appearances. The 33-year-old’s a lifetime .227/.296/.297 hitter in 800 major league PAs.
A future HOF er for sure!
Closer than you. No need to be snarky.

I think he is just making a joke on how some Yankees fans hype up everyone in their organization. For example, this offseason I read a whole commenter’s paragraph about how great Didi is and how he will easily make the HOF.
Do the Yankees still overpay their veteran AAA depth/talent? I remember a story in Baseball America a few years ago about other teams being angry at NY doing this and having first pick on all depth/talent.
I’ve only been there once, but Scranton sure seems like a nice place to play. That, combined with the fact that he wouldn’t get a mlb roster spot elsewhere, would be enough motivation to stay with the yankees organization.
When have the NYY recently have a ‘first pick’ ?
I believe they’ve had dismal drafting slots in the last few decades relative to the other MLB teams….
Read the comment again, he wasn’t talking about drafting
