Manny Banuelos, LHP
2010 Rank: NR
Signed: March 30, 2008
ETA in Majors: 2012
Statistically speaking: In his 10 starts with Tampa in the Florida State
League, Banuelos gave up earned runs in four of them. Eight of the 11 earned
runs he allowed came in two of those outings. In the other nine, he had a
0.76 ERA, allowing just 25 hits and striking out 51 over 35 1/3 innings,
while holding hitters to a .197 batting average.
Scouting report: After an appendectomy kept him out until the end of June,
Banuelos' focus on conditioning while off the field paid off on the mound. He
had more velocity on his fastball, up to the mid-90s, and he showed good
command of it. His secondary pitches, a curve and a changeup, have been
above-average to plus at times, though he needs to become more consistent
with them. He's not the biggest guy in the world and will have to continue to
prove his durability. He opened some eyes in the Arizona Fall League and will
pitch this year at age 20.
Upside potential: A decent No. 2, excellent No. 3 starter.
They said it: "We don't sit around patting ourselves on the back. We had good
fortune this year. We had a bunch of guys come back from injury and a bunch
of guys have good years." -- Yankees senior vice president of baseball
operations Mark Newman on the club's farm system
He said it: "When I came back, I felt really strong. I was surprised with my
velocity, too. I worked a lot on my body during rehab, so I came back really
strong."
