I always get a foreboding feeling l at the close of the Minor League season. It’s the first sign of the rapidly approaching baseball offseason and, for me, the most boring part of the year. Sure enough, that familiar feeling crept up once again when the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders dropped the Governors’ Cup to the Durham Bulls.
With the completion of the Yankees’ minor league seasons, one can assess some of the standout performances from the 2018 season. I’m going to ignore guys like Justus Sheffield, who were highly-touted and gave performances to match. Instead, I’ll focus on recognizable names that faltered or guys who seemingly came out of nowhere to have fantastic seasons.
