Shorebird's Mike Yastrzemski is a Complete Player

Flashing the power, another 2 homers last night

I realize he is a bit old for this level as it has been stated, but I have to admit that "Little Yaz" is one of the players that I check for in the box scores every night. He has 14 doubles,10 triples,10 homers,44 rbi,12 stolen bases and to boot 11 outfield assists so far. Man if there is a fantasy league for minors baseball he would be a stud! I sure wish he were a little younger or I hope he gets promoted and keeps on rolling.

Promote him to FRE after the ASB, maybe he gets a cup of coffee at Bowie before seasons end if all continues to go well.

He's a leader in almost every offensive category and plays good defense. That's a really impressive number of triples. It must be a pleasure to watch him. He certainly deserves a quick promotion to Frederick. Question - not a big deal, but what's his height? He's listed at 5'11, but a scouting report I read said he's 5'8.

[DrShorebird]

5'11" is correct Same as his Grandpa.

Haha - do you think he could be as good as Jeff Fiorentino? We all hope much better......

[Hank Scorpio]

I've never seen him play, but he's definitely holding his own at Frederick thus far.

He has his grandfather to help him work through the slumps.

It appears Yaz II can't be stopped, go get 'em kid.

[scOtt]

How cool would it have been to have two cycles in one night?
