Names to Remember: The Top 10 IT IS HIGH Yankee Prospect List

Based on... their names, of course.

1. JEREMY BLEICH, (P, 23, Trenton)

Bad outing? Bleeeeeugh. Gopher ball? Blauuuuuuuch. Grand slam? BLEAUUUUUUGHH! A prospect named after the human sound of vomiting. Rhymes with GLEAAAUGH. Right now, he's recovering from surgery. Get well, Ralph.

2. SLADE HEATHCOTT (OF, 20, Staten Island)

"It is high, it is far, it is gone. IT'S THE SLADE BRIGADE! WE GOT HEATHCOTT!"

3. BRANDON BRABOY (P, 24, Tampa)

Proposed nickname: "Wonder."  He's implanting himself into the rotation, pitching like a Double D! 

4. KRAMER SNEED, (P, 22, Staten Island)

Say it: "KRAMER? Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed."

5. ERIC WORDEKEMPER (P, 27, Scranton)

What's the word, Kemper?

6. AUSTIN KRUM (OF, 24, Tampa)

"It is... GONE. BANG THE KRUM SLOWLY. CAN I PLAY FOR HIM PAR-UM-PA-PUM, KRUM!"


7.  DAMON SUBLETT (OF, 25, Tampa)

"It is... gone. THAT RENTAL BALL HAS BEEN SUBLETT."


8. DEANGELO MACK (OF, 23, Charleston)

No joke here. What a great baseball name! He better not suck.

9. IVAN NOVA (P, 24, Scranton)

First four innings: Super Nova
Fifth: Ivan the Terrible.


10. JESUS MONTERO (C, 20, Scranton)

"It is gone... JESUS H. MONTERO, DID HE EVER HIT IT!"


HONORABLE MENTION: Eladio Moronta, Sam Elam, Raymond Kruml, Graham Stoneburner, Robby Hammock, George Kontos, Amaury Sanit.

Let's change Ivan Nova to Avon Nova.

He would be our anagram baby.
