I'm Tanya, and I'm a prospect hugger.
I don't feel shame or regret about the fact that I hold Yankees prospects in high regard, getting attached to them early on and then hanging on for dear life. My real love for prospects started with Jesus Montero and grew from there. More often than not I've been disappointed and I've come to realize that's okay. Montero ended up traded to Seattle where he apparently decided to start eating his feelings and got into an ugly incident with an ice cream sandwich. Manny Banuelos, my second real prospect love, was plagued with injury before being sent to Atlanta for a pair of relievers and is now out for the rest of the season once again.
