Cox ... nope ... his name is Jonathan Ortiz. Within 2 years (provided they dont trade him) you will be hearing about him pitching for the Bombers. He is currently at Single A Charleston and he is their closer and dominating. Granted it is Low A, but his numbers are filthy. Next year I predict he will be turning heads at AA Trenton and in 2010 (Mo's final year of his contract) he will be in the Bronx by mid-season. There is some video of him on You Tube ... he looks like he is cut from the same cloth as K-Rod. Wilkins De La Rosa has also been dominating at Charleston this year ... but he is now starting games after spending the first half of the year in bullpen. tim boat … you heard it here first … the heir apparent to Mo is neither Mark Melancon or J.B.

How useful could he be?” I think that’s the controversial statement by ‘tim boat’ if that is indeed his name. How is that a controversial statement? Someone said they'd like to see Melancon in the Yankee bullpen this year. One of my replies was he hasn't been pitching on consecutive days because of his rehab which adversely impacts his overall utility. Then you have people pegging him as the heir apparent to Mariano while he has yet to pitch above AA or prove his durability. “Melancon isn’t pitching on consecutive days. How useful could he be?”
