A Little ( incoherent ) Who Do You Like, So Far?

I have seen a few "games" and here are some early comments.

1.  I like Mike Ford for first base.  He seems to be a quality, confident hitter. And he is agile around the bag, for a large person.  He knows how to play first base. 

2.  I like Mike Schmidt ( Wait a minute!  Who wouldn't?  He is in the Hall of Fame ).  I may have the first name wrong....he is the pitcher from South Carolina who has already had TJ surgery.     Coney liked him also,  if you were watching yesterday. And, given that he is a college graduate, the time he has put in ( though limited ) at the minor league level, may be enough.

3.  I like Louisaga. ( I still can't spell it....we call him Lasagne ) He has an arm like German.  He has big league experience already,  and he is young.  If he is gaining confidence and poise, he can be a lights out reliever. I think he remains too fast-ball reliant to be a starter, and he needs a second pitch he can rely upon even in relief.  But his potential is high. 

4.  I want to believe in Tyler Wade as a back-up SS.  He is a good glove and can run, but I still remain concerned about his hitting. When he faces " real" pitchers in " real " games,  I have no confidence he will hit anything.  This will be his last shot in NY.  Make it or be gone.

5.  I like  Estrada  (the guy we saw last year....there may be more than one in camp ).  His name starts with a "T" .....and then I'm not sure (Thiro ,Theo ??).  He is a quality infielder...can also play the outfield...and is a good hitter. 

6.  I do not like Mike King yet.  He seems to have a fastball, and that is it. No one can win with just a fastball...and his is average ( mph 92-94 ) but well-placed, I guess ). 

7.  There is a minor league guy who hit a homer ( several games back ) and plays the outfield.  He might have been a really good hitter in AA or AAA last year.  I can't find his name.  I think he runs well, also.  I like him. 

8.  I have no basis for this at all;  but I think Miguel Andujar may become a really good outfielder. I hope they drop the first base thing ASAP.  He can back-up at third, and start in left. 

9.  Not sure what to think about Florial.  Looks competent in CF.  He may have  a psyche that requires him to be in the majors.  In other words, while the Yanks will want to see more of him in AA or AAA, it may drive him nuts to be there......or worse, to a horrible performance.  And a trade.

10.  Red Thunder still scares me as an outfielder.  I have never seen a guy so awkward at his normal position. He played a ball off the wall in RF the other day ( he played the carom well ), and tried to throw the guy out stretching the hit to a double. His throw barely remained in the ball park, and it took three guys backing up the play to finally gather the ball.  I fear that, despite the hard work he has out in, he is a DH or nothing. 

Anyone else?  Always fun to ID guys now who might be huge surprises.
