Albaladejo has been cloned and is pitching for both sides. Um…cool! But shouldn’t they have cloned CC first?
LOL. You beat me to it Chad! Quick with the edit there! Thanks for the great coverage!
Yankee players and some fans don’t like this game, but as a Yankee fan I’m happy the organization is allowing us to see some future Yankees today. This is a fan event and should be held every spring training.
Some fascinating Futures gazing for us this afternoon.
I wonder what is the logic behind selecting these minor leaguers as future stars. Some are obvious such as Montero. Some others are not and probably there are better players at those postions – like 1B and 3B.
Chad,
Is the game on the TV today?
Thanks.
It should be held at the beginning of the ST schedule and not on the final day. Similar to when teams schedule games against the college teams.
The team should be relaxing in Boston getting ready for tomorrow night.
The Yankees dropped the ball on this one and I don’t blame the guys for being a bit ticked off about playing this game.
Albaladejo future star?
Why not use Igawa.
Wonder why McAllister or some other pitcher who actually has a future couldn’t get the start. Perhaps the Yankees want one last look at Albaldejo against major league hitters for future reference?
I think the game is on YES but I’m actually not positive.
As for the Future Stars lineup, they actually got pretty close to the organization’s top players at each position. You can obviously debate them, but that’s not a terrible group.
As for the pitcher, my guess is the Yankees want their actually minor league starters pitching in actual minor league games where they can pitch a lot of innings and stay stretched out in that no-rules environment. Up here, they’ll just run through a bunch of relievers.
pcaldera Jeter, Joba just arrived in clubhouse in slacks and sportscoats – charter flight attire. Camp is coming to a close. Next stop: Boston.
8 minutes ago
I agree with SJ, this game should not have been played today. The players should be in Boston preparing for tomorrow.
However, not sure if beginnig of Spring is the right time when regular players are not fully ready. Somewhere in the middle of the spring training will be ideal.
Thanks Chad for your answers.
the players need to chill.
the minors deserve a reward for backing the major leaguers.
so they travel to a night game, big deal
The game is on YES at 1pm:

Any future star who hurts any starter today has no future.
Teddy,
Noone is questioning the need for the game itself. I think it is great.
It is the timing.
For example, a week ago would have been ideal.
Thanks Tom.
I have not seen many of these minor leaguers.
It will be fun to watch them.
The Red Sox are also playing a game today, FWIW.
Romine has a canon for a right arm.
I don’t have a problem with this game being played today. Most teams play an exhibition game the day before opening day to stay sharp.
They will play a few innings and then back off the starters. Fly to Boston in the early evening and they don’t play until tomorrow night.
I like it and am looking forward to seeing some of the futures play.
Want to see Heathcott or Mesa throw a runner out
true, but not like there going to laa, is to bos, how many hours is that on flight
I think three years from now, Romine will the starting catcher and Motero will be DH + backup catcher.
Hotels are expensive in Boston I suppose…….They make money today rather than spending money in Boston……I don’t believe this to be true, but they should be in Boston rather than flying in tonight
I’m also of the school that I think it’s a joke the Yankees start on the road in Biston and Tampa.
They are the defending champs. They should open the season at home.
They open and close the season on the road against their biggest rivals. That’s a joke.
I can’t remember the last time a defending champion has had to do that.
The Yankees had to endure watching the Red Sox get their rings in 2005.
MLB should have had the Sox have to do the same thing this year.
Bud Selig. Only Bud can make Gary Bettman look competent as a Comissioner.
SJ, MLB just wants to milk the popularity of the Yanks
And they still bit*ch about Yanks spending money on the players.
The Red Sox were defending champs when they opened at Yankee Stadium in 2005. I’m pretty sure the Yankees opened on the road in 1997, 1999 and 2000.

****************
In all fairness, aren’t preliminary schedules made a year in advance before the Yanks were the champions?
I remember the middle of last season listening Suzy & John discuss the preliminary schedule and games against the Dodgers this season
sj your wrong.
yanks to lost bo in alcs so they open in 05 in ny, then ny opened in fenway 05
the yanks beat the angels in the alcs, so they open up and see the hardware.
i rather see matsui” hopefullt” gets his ring to an epic standing ovation
“Like Bobby V or not, he’s a smart guy and a good baseball man…one of the best at ESPN”
——————————————————————————
Joe Mcgraine (MLB network) is another guy who is good. He and Duane Kiper were the Tampa Rays announcers for a long time. Know i will get flamed, but i liked listening to their games. Mcgraine would get a little jab/joke in against the yankees ocoasionally, but he is actually very funny. And it fit the context, considering the match-up was David and Galiath at the time
Erica was corect.
The schedules are decided before the playoffs are done.
So much for the conspiracy theory
Still Selig Stinks (SSS)
MLB should copy the NFL blueprint.
The Super Bowl winner opens the following season at home in primetime to kickoff the season.
Could you imagine the excitement and interest generated about Opening Night if the Yankees were opening at home in primetime against Boston and receiving their rings?
That’s the proper way to kickoff the baseball season, IMO.
Bud couldn’t manage his way out of a bathroom, nevermind manage an entire baseball league.
And yet somehow he steals 14 million a year for corrupting and ruining a league.
They talk about Carl Pavano stealing 40 mil from us, or Alex Rodriguez being grossly overpaid. I hardly think that is the case at all. It’s a loser like Bud stealing 14 million a year that annoys me.
RHP Jonathan Albaladejo
they picked the guy to make the hitters look like future stars.
Ohta Faction
LOL
At first, I thought that said RIP Jonathan Albaladejo.
I was like, omg I feel so bad for insulting him recently.
LOL
New post. Thames on the team, two signed to minor league deals.
