The Staten Island Yankees

Discuss the short season SI Yanks here.

here's an article that talks about the park factors in SI and Charleston.

[philinla]

The Staten Island Yanks are gonna have a monster pitching staff and be a very hot ticket this summer. Betances, McAllister and Nova have been held back from low A (maybe to avoid piggy backing) and will start the season in EST then SI!

[rpimpsner]

The Ballpark at St. George does have a wierd wind tunnel for the past 2 seasons that could have affected players. The ballpark itself is not a homerun park, but there might be a few more homeruns to the right side this year since the fence is being lowered 3 feet for a brand new 192 foot long video board.

Hey Robert there's a link to baby-bombers in our minor league links thread. Good luck with the site. You won't have Nova this year cause he was assigned to Charleston this week.

[rpimpsner]

I am currently looking for people to help me write articles for the site. If anyone is interested in writing a projected roster article please e-mail me at [e-mail]

[rpimpsner]

I wrote an article projecting possible players for the 2007 Staten Island Yankees. The article is online at www.baby-bombers.com.

Also I been fixing up the All Time Roster profiles so take a look if you are interested. If anyone has any photos you would like to share I am looking for any photos of the SI Yankees from 1999 - 2001.

Interesting stuff. Take a look at the McAllister part and see if you don't want to remove the word "started" from the second line. He was in a piggy-back with Betances for part of the season.

Staten Island starts next week...shouldn't we be seeing rosters soon?

You'd think, but a lot of them haven't been signed yet, or if they have been it hasn't been announced.

Opening night line-up. Yuck. We need to sign more guys.

[HomerSimpson]

Sublett was 2-3 with two walks, a HR and a double. 2 RBIs.

[philinla]

Sublett, Snyder, Williams are hitting already. Krum needs to pick it up to do his thing. Raber seems to have a great eye and is walking a lot.

[philinla]

Sublett hit a grandslam tonight.

[philinla]

Snyder, Sublett and Pruitt just keep raking.

[italirican]

does anybody know who will be pitching for the baby bombers on the 11th?

[philinla]

It might be McAllister. Not sure. I hope it's him or Pope or Olby if you're going.
