Jeremy Bleich, the 1st Round Sandwich pick and highest signing draft pick, has not yet made his debut. It is currently unknown (or just unannounced) when he will do so. The popular view was that he would be sent straight to Staten Island, another view had him making a GCL start first.
My take is that the Yankees are proceeding with caution. Even though Bleich's injury has seemed to heel perfectly, the Yanks don't want to take a chance on reinjuring it. With the Staten Island season almost over, why rush a pitcher who suffered an earlier injury, who has not competively pitched since the College World Series, into a team where he gets less than 5 starts - more like 2.
I think we will see Bleich added to the Hawaii Winter League as Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain were to make his debut like his predicessors. Bleich is technically eligable for the Arizona Fall League, but it seems like the Yankees have filled almost all the spots they have been alotted and adding Bleich doesn't make too much sense.
I think most fans will be pleasantly surprised with the young left handed pitcher. I had my Be sure to check out his stats on http://www.gostanford.com/ and keep watching for the Bleich debut. I will post if I find out what the Bleich plans are.
Pinstriped As Always,
