2014 #9 Prospect: Mike Yastrzemski - OF

[sportsfan8703]

Glad Bowie won. Yaz had an up and down year but should still Norfolk next year. Right now the O's have a ton of relievers and 4th OF types in the upper minors.

I doubt they keep all the 4A OF around next season, and hopefully, that frees up some roster movement for the guys deserving to move from AA up.

I love the way this kid hustles, been rooting for him, since he got to AA.

I don't understand thread necromancy.

Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is settling in with the Baysox this season, but he still has his eyes set on wearing an Orioles uniform in the future. http://www.pressboxonline.com/2015/05/22/orioles-prospect-mike-yastrzemski-continuing-to-produce-in-bowie

He may be undervalued because of this size.

Good for little/young Yastrzemski.

Tony Pente had this to say about him in an interview last month:

I hope Tony's right Patrick.

PRESS BOX:O You know we're getting old when we are talking about a guy whose grandfather we remember well ...... Mike Yastrzemski.

TONY:O Yastrzemski is a guy that really stepped up last season. He had a great college career at Vanderbilt. He's not a great "toosly" guy ...... not a guy that the souts go out and fall in love with. BUT, if you watch the guy over a long period of time (140 or 150 games), you realize that he's a guy that can help you. He's a great defensive outfielder. He has a little bit of pop, he hits the ball to all fields. He's a guy that I can see eventually becoming perhaps a 4th outfielder, and help a ball club.

Me too.

It would be great to have a Yaz on our side.

And as Redskins Rick said, reports are that he hustles all of the time, similar to Nolan Reimold.

I haven't been watching him play, but Yastrzemski has faded badly on offense over the last 6 weeks.

I have. It's the ballpark in Norfolk and getting adjusted to AAA pitching that is taking him some time. He'll figure it out at some point. That I'm certain of

Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not going to be ready for opening day, and will begin the season in Florida at extended spring training. Yastrzemski had some pretty extensive core and hip labrum surgery repairs over the winter. The Orioles are being conservative with him right now, and an extended spring will basically serve as his spring training. No date has been established for Yastrzemski to play in the regular season.

Last year between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, Yastrzemski hit .234/.325/.391 with 13 homers and 59 RBI's in 127 games.

“That surgery was more extensive that we knew going in,” Graham said. “But his rehab is going very well. He took live BP today, and is doing his workouts with the strength and conditioning coaches.”

The Branden Kline part is bad news.  

"

Right-handed pitcher Branden Kline, who had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 8, 2015, needed a follow-up arthroscopic procedure last week. The Orioles’ second-round pick in 2012 out of the University of Virginia, Kline has not pitched since going 3-3 with a 3.66 ERA in eight starts early in the 2015 season for Double-A Bowie.

His Tommy John rehab and comeback was going very well, but then he felt some discomfort just prior to reporting to spring training during his throwing program at his home. He had soft tissue cleaned out of his right elbow. He could resume a throwing program in three to four weeks.

Orioles doctors saw Kline at spring training and sent him back to see Dr. James Andrews, who performed his elbow ligament reconstruction in 2015, and it led to this follow-up procedure.

“He is obviously going to be behind (the rest of the pitchers),” Orioles director of player development Brian Graham said this afternoon at Twin Lakes Park. “He is three to four weeks away from a throwing program. Then you go from that program to bullpens and live BPs. It’s a progression. But there is no structural damage, it was cleanup they needed to do. There is no timetable yet for when he gets in a game.”
