NY in April

                             ABL now in its 3rd week into April Mafia stand at 9-10 and unless they turn somethings around it would be the 2nd April in a row that NY will have a losing record.

                             NY will stay home for a 2 game set vs Jacksonville Jacks (7-12) in game 2 of series SP Santiago Núñez (1-1) 3.38REA  of Jacks vs Mafia's ace SP Javier Flores  (2-1) 2.36ERA. Nunez 24yro in his rookie year is skipping AAA and coming of from AA and is off to a good start, in 1st 3 games he went no less then 8ip and no less the 114 pitches.

                                                                        José Serrano                        

                             NY sent SP José Serrano down to AAA to start the season, Jose didn't seem to develop enough this off season and needs more time. This is a big set back for NY as they Had hope for this young 1st round pick to have bloomed by now but they dont feel worried that Serrano wont come around very soon.

                             We talked about keeping a close eye on Palm Beach Bums (A) this year, but the start they are off to we are keeping a eye from a distance. Maybe we will have more news at a later date.

Some Roster Moves

              NY closed on deal with Juan Velázquez 39yro MR who will turn 40 this season but he shows no sign of quit in him. Juan a lefty put up some nice numbers last season and should fit in nicely as a 7th inning guy.

             We took a good look at Mafia's single A Palm Beach Bums (A) and we see alot of solid players there, starters from 1 threw 6 all have a chance to eventually make it to the show one day. NY 1st 3 picks this year were hitters and all 3 are highly talked about around NY.

              We will keep a close eye on NY's single A team this year and see how the players and team fair.
