YANKEES MINOR LEAGUE DEPARTMENT
"The Yankees' minor league system might be peaking at just the right time. After the parent club finished in last place in 1990, the organization is looking to rebuild from within.
'We will try to improve with trades and free agent but, having in last place last year, we're going more with our young people,' says General Manager Gene 'Stick' Michael. 'As our young players show that can play in the major leagues, then we're going to give them every opportunity at that level. That's the direction we're looking to go in turning this thing around.'
Having three of the organization's seven minor league teams finish in first place in 1990 made it easier for Stick and the rest of the Yankee brass to initiate a youth movement in 1991.
'There was success at every level in 1990, but there's always room for improvement,' said Mitch Lukevics, Director of Minor League Operations. 'This year there are a lot of young players getting the opportunity to play at all levels of the organization, as part of a trickle-down effect. When the Yankees go with more Triple-A prospects, then those spots have to be filled with players coming up from Double-A and so on all the way through the system. At the same time, these players that are being promoted have made the progress that has earned them the opportunity to move up.'
Left-fielder Hensley 'Bam-Bam' Meulens and right-handed pitcher Dave Eiland, the International League's 1990 Player and Pitcher of the Year respectively, are just two of the many prospects who will be given the opportunity to earn a spot on the New York roster.
Former minor league manager Carl 'Stump' Merrill will be wearing Pinstripes this season. Merrill led the Triple-A Columbus Clippers to a 33-25 record last year before joining the Yankees in June. Rick Down stepped in for Merrill and the Clippers went 53-54 the rest of the way and finished first in the International League's Western Division before dropping a tough five-game series to Rochester in the playoffs.
Down, who began the 1990 campaign as manager of the Double-A Albany-Colonie Yankees before moving to Columbus, will be counting on a number of familiar faces when he returns as Clippers manager this season. Outfielders Bernie and Gerald Williams, second baseman Pat Kelly and right-handed pitchers Darrin Chapin and Wade Taylor are among those Albany prospects expected to be with the Clippers in '91.
This year's Albany team is being managed by Dan Radison, who was serving as the organization's minor league hitting instructor last year when he got the call to take over for Down. Radison led the '90 team to a first-place finish in the Eastern League before losing a five-game series to New Britain in the playoffs. Much like Down at Columbus, Radison will be filling out his 1991 lineup card with a number of top prospects. Left-handed hurler Mike Gardella, the Carolina League's 1990 Relief Pitcher of the Year, first baseman J.T. Snow and third baseman Russ Davis are among those expected to make the jump from Class-A Prince William to Albany.
'We believe that youth is very important,' says Lukevics, explaining the organization's number of young players at every level. 'We draft a lot of high school players, which gives them a long time to develop within our system.'
The Prince William Cannons will be led by manager Mike Hart in 1991. The former Ft. Lauderdale manager replaces Gary Denbo, who moved to Columbus this year as a coach. Denbo and the Cannons fell upon hard luck in 1990, finishing in fifth place overall (64-75) despite finishing in second place in each half of the split season.
'That's why we don't measure success based on just won-loss records' says Lukevics. 'We want to develop players.'
Left-hander Sterling Hitchcock, first baseman Ramon Jimenez and outfielder Jason Robertson are the three players from the 1990 Greensboro Hornets who are expected to be in Prince William in '91. They'll be joined by Oneonta pitcher Sam Militello and shortstop Robert Eenhorn.
In the Florida State League, Glenn Sherlock, who last year managed in Tampa, takes over for Hart as manager of the Class-A Ft. Lauderdale Yankees. Sherlock will be looking to improve on last year's 62-75 performance, good for a fourth- and fifth-place finish in each half of the 1990 split season. Key prospects from Oneonta's first-place team could improve Ft. Lauderdale's fortunes.
Among those expected to make the move from Oneonta to Florida include second baseman Kevin Jordan, outfielder Jalal Leach and pitcher Kirt Ojala. Ft. Lauderdale might also end up with right-handed Jeff Hoffman, who at 8-3 with a 1.47 ERA was one of the bright spots for Greensboro last year.
The Hornets were a disappointing 59-85 in 1990, finishing fifth in each half of the Class-A South Atlantic League's split season. Last year's manager, Brian Butterfield, is serving as the organization's minor league defensive coordinator in 1991. Trey Hillman, the New York-Penn League's 1990 Manager of the Year at Oneonta, takes over as manager at Greensboro.
Hillman could have third baseman Rick Lantrip and outfielder Scott Romans, both former Oneonta players, in his lineup. Also expected to be with the Hornets in '91 is Carl Everett, the Yankees' first pick in the 1990 June amateur draft.
Players for Oneonta and Tampa, the organization's entry into the Rookie Gulf Coast League, will be determined following the June amateur draft. In Oneonta, Jack Gillis takes over as manager for Hillman, who moves on after a 52-26 first-place finish and a New York-Penn League title. Gillis will continue as the organization's Eastern Scouting Supervisor when the season ends.
Ken Dominguez, the third base coach at Oneonta last year, is the new manager of the Tampa Yankees. He replaces Sherlock, who in 1990 led Tampa to a 32-30 record and a fourth-place finish.
'Player development is an ongoing process, and includes educating the coaching staff as well as educating the players,' says Lukevics. 'It's all part of our goal, which is to produce championship caliber major league players.'"
