NoMaas interviews Mark Newman

The crew over at NoMaas interviewed Yankees’ senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman, and they discussed all things farm system.  They touched on the draft, the international market, and of course players already in the system like Jesus Montero, Dellin Betances, Manny Banuelos, all the usual suspects.  Make sure you check it out, tons of great stuff in there. 

MN: That one’s done.  He’s a 16-year old shortstop, 6’1” 170.  Big-time arm, very good hands.  We like the swing.  We thought he was the best shortstop in the Dominican this year.  We think he’s got tools and we’ll see how he progresses.  We think he’s got the aptitude and the work ethic.

They think he has the worth ethic?  And he is Dominican?  Nonsense.

Is this the start of the Yankees plan to start compiling SS prospects like they did with Catcher?
