Josh Norris (no subs. req’d) has a good write-up on RHP Yoendrys Gomez, who the Yankees signed for $50,000 two years ago. Here’s video of his most recent start. “Two scouts in attendance came away impressed with Gomez, particularly with the feel for his secondaries and the overall ingredients for someone just starting his path up the ladder,” said the write-up.
