Adam Warren was on the mound for both my personal favorite and least-favorite memories in recent Yankee history. Of course, recent Yankee history has mostly been about embracing steadiness and mediocrity, but I digress. I’d rather mention the least-favorite first to show exactly where Adam Warren came from.
Warren was a prospect that just didn’t get lauded, in many ways the Rob Refsnyder of pitchers, in that all he did in the minor leagues (and at the University of North Carolina) was hurl solidly. With a career minor league ERA of 3.11, it’s a shame he escaped the ladder with just a 28-25 record, counting numbers that failed to impress the casual observer.
