Does this guy look like an All-Star or what? (Don’t answer that, please.) Anyway, here’s me in my new Yankee togs. Cool.
Abel asked me if I’d like to shag some infield or outfield with the players, and of course I said sure, but I don’t have a glove. Right now I’m too busy to take the time to do that, but later I’ll certainly try to make the time.
I interviewed my first group of players yesterday and was pleased that more than a few of them have pretty decent English skills. There are still quite a number that are Beginning learners and a couple that have no English proficiency at all. It’ll be a challenge to get them some kind of communicative skills in the 6 weeks they’ll be here. Hopefully, they’ll be returning in January after the break, when I can work with them more.
Abel told me that there are several hot prospects in this group, and he pointed out a couple that he thinks will make the Big Leagues very soon. I’ve got their names, so I’ll keep an eye on them. Sorry, I can’t divulge any names. I’m busy-busy, but, of course, more later.
