Hate Crime Charge Filed over Verbal Assault against Pro-Lifers: "Ni**er! You are a worthless degener
CHICAGO, April 3, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On Friday, April 3, 2009, The Thomas More Society filed a Hate Crime charge in an Amended Federal Civil Complaint against an abortion clinic proprietor and ally in Rockford, Illinois as part of an ongoing court battle.
On March 29, 2008, Rockford resident Keith A. Sterkeson verbally attacked pro-life advocates Eric Nelson and Kevin Rilott outside a Rockford abortion facility, saying to Nelson, in part, "A Nigger, a Nigger. You are a worthless degenerate Nigger. Oh, you are a Nigger! You are a degenerate and empty skull, thinking Jesus is going to save you. You're a Nigger. Your mother was a Nigger." (To view the verbal assault, follow this link:
In the space of seven minutes during the encounter between the pro-lifers and Sterkeson, Sterkeson, with a pitbull in tow, calls Nelson a "ni**er" 19 times, shouts the word "f**k" at him 36 times, called him a "degenerate" 16 times, and otherwise threatens and harasses Nelson and Rilott.
In the video the abortion facility owner, Wayne Webster, informs Sterkeson over a loud speaker that the police are on their way, and says, "You're not acting any crazier than those other a**holes (the pro-life activists)."
The amended Federal Civil Complaint alleges that Webster monitors police radio calls and warns Sterkeson to leave the scene when Nelson and Rillot call the police, aiding and abetting Sterkeson.
"Here, defendant Sterkeson, with support from clinic proprietor Wayne Webster, was spewing forth hateful rhetoric - accusing Nelson of being a 'half breed' whose mother was African-American - on the public sidewalk in a loud and raucous voice," stated Tom Brejcha, President and Chief Counsel at the Thomas More Society. "Sterkeson's uttering such hateful speech against racial minorities, while he was perpetrating violent crimes is precisely what Illinois has condemned as 'hate crime.'"
On several occasions in the past that have been recorded on video, Sterkeson has hit Nelson and shoved Rillot, calling them "faggots." (To view additional footage, follow this link:

"Keith Sterkeson regularly harangues Nelson, Rillot and their peers with racist epithets, anti-religious bigotry and homophobic slurs on the public sidewalk outside the Rockford abortion clinic owned by Wayne Webster," Brejcha said.
According to the Illinois Hate Crime statute, someone commits a hate crime when they commit assault or battery motivated by race, religion, ancestry, gender, and sexual orientation. A Hate Crime is a class 4 Felony for a first offense and up to a class 2 Felony for subsequent offense. The victim of the attack is entitled a civil action for damages, injunction and related relief. The Illinois State Court can award actual damages for both emotional distress and punitive damages.

Please, enough with the cult of pop stars. Our kids need real heroes.
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Two things happen each time a significant pop culture figure dies: Christians attempt to dredge up some moderately conservative or traditional thing that figure said at some point during his long career, and mainstream media attempts to convince a society thoroughly bored with such things that the person in question was a ground-breaking radical. The two most recent examples are the androgynous David Bowie—a cringe-worthy and possibly blasphemous video of him dropping to his knees during a rock performance and uttering the Lord's Prayer circulated just following his death--and the pop star Prince.
I've had to suppress my gag reflexes many times as I saw my Facebook newsfeed fill up with memes sporting quotes from Prince about his faith and articles announcing that the musician who "embraced gender fluidity before his time," according to Slate and "will always be a gay icon" according to The Atlantic, was against gay marriage. Sure, maybe he was. But only a Christian community so shell-shocked by the rapid spread of the rainbow blitzkrieg and the catastrophic erosion of religious liberty would find this remarkable. After all, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said the same thing barely one election cycle ago. As one obituary celebrating Prince's paradigm-smashing sexual performances written by Dodai Stewart put it:
Dig, if you will, a picture: The year is 1980. Many states still have sodomy laws. The radio is playing feel-good ear candy like Captain and Tennille and KC and the Sunshine Band. TV hits include the sunny, toothy blond shows Three's Company and Happy Days. There's no real word for "gender non-conforming." But here's what you see: A man. Clearly a man. Hairy, mostly naked body…a satiny bikini bottom. But those eyes. Rimmed in black, like a fantasy belly dancer. The full, pouty lips of a pin-up girl. Long hair. A tiny, svelte thing. Ethnically ambiguous, radiating lust. What is this? A man. Clearly a man. No. Not just a man. A Prince.
Right. So let's not get too carried away, shall we? I know Christians are desperate to justify their addictions to the pop culture trash that did so much to sweep away Christian values in the first place and I know that latching on to the occasional stray conservative belief that may manifest itself in pop culture figures makes many feel as if perhaps we are not so weird and countercultural, but this bad habit we have of claiming these figures upon their passing is downright damaging.
After all, parents should be teaching their children about real heroes, titans of the faith who changed the world. Heroes of the early church who stood down tyrants, halted gladiatorial combat, and crusaded against injustice in a world where death was all the rage. These men and women were real rebels who stood for real values. If we want to point our children to people they should emulate, we should be handing them books like Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness by the brilliant writer Eric Metaxas rather than the pop albums Purple Rain or Lovesexy by Prince. If parents spend their time glorifying the predecessors of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus instead of highlighting heroes like William Wilberforce, they can hardly be surprised when their children choose to emulate the former rather than the latter.
The mainstream media's adulation of these pop stars is equally irritating. The unspoken truth of these obituaries is that the flamboyant antics of Prince and the rest of the so-called rebellious drag queens populating the rock n' roll scene have been mainstream for a long time already. Want to see dozens of bizarre body piercings? Weird hairdos? Purple mohawks? Dudes with nail polish? Strange tattoos? Easy. Just go onto any university campus, or any public high school without a dress code. With headphones wedged firmly in their ear canals, they can pump the cleverly commercialized "counterculture" straight into their skulls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More than that, some of these courageous rebels have actually sued their employers to ensure that they can let their establishment-smashing freak flag fly at work, too. An Edmonton woman with 22 visible body piercings complained that her employer was unfair because apparently she was being discriminated against "based on body modifications." Yeah! The Man must be told, after all. And if he doesn't agree, we will lawyer up. I wonder what the shrieking rebels of the early days would think about the snivelling children of the current grievance culture.
So these days, the media's eulogizing about aging culture warriors who went mainstream a long time ago rings a bit hollow. After all, most rock n' roll stars these days look tame compared to what shows up in the children's section at Pride Week. Freaky is normal now. Normal is radical. Welcome to 2016.
When Christians are posting nostalgic tributes to the rebels who helped inoculate their children against the radical views of Christianity in the first place, you know that the victories of the counterculture are complete and Stockholm syndrome has set in.

Target boycott climbs to over 1 million
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 1 million people have signed a pledge to boycott Target over its new policy allowing men to access women's bathrooms.
The American Family Association's Boycott Target petition gained traction immediately, reaching the one million mark in only nine days.
"Corporate America must stop bullying people who disagree with the radical left agenda to remake society into their progressive image," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "#BoycottTarget has resonated with Americans. Target's harmful policy poses a danger to women and children; nearly everyone has a mother, wife, daughter or friend who is put in jeopardy by this policy. Predators and voyeurs would take advantage of the policy to prey on those who are vulnerable. And it's clear now that over one million customers agree."
Target defended its policy in a statement saying that it believes everyone "deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally" and earlier this week, a Target spokeswoman defended the policy as "inclusive."
The AFA said that unisex bathrooms are a common-sense alternative to allowing men unfettered access to women's bathrooms.
"Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided," the petition says.
The AFA warned that Target's new policy benefits sexual predators and poses a danger to women and children.
"With Target publicly boasting that men can enter women's bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?" the petition asked.
There have been numerous instances of predatory men accessing women's bathrooms and intimate facilities in the wake of "transgender" bathroom policies allowing them to do so.
"We want to make it very clear that AFA does not believe the transgender community poses this danger to the wider public," said Wildmon. "Rather, this misguided and reckless policy provides a possible gateway for predators who are out there."

Amazing new video captures the flash of light the moment life begins
CHICAGO, April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Life begins with a spark – literally.
Researchers at Northwestern University have documented the striking event in a new video that accompanies a study published this week.
At the moment of conception, the egg releases massive amounts of zinc, which creates a spark that can be seen with the aid of a microscope.
"It was remarkable," said Teresa Woodruff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's medical school. "To see the zinc radiate out in a burst from each human egg was breathtaking."
The research team had noted the zinc sparks before in mice eggs but had never observed the process in human beings.
"All of biology starts at the time of fertilization," Woodruff said, "yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human."
One of the researchers, Northwestern chemistry professor Thomas O'Halloran, explained the science behind the process in 2014.
"The egg first has to stockpile zinc and then must release some of the zinc to successfully navigate maturation, fertilization and the start of embryogenesis," he said. "On cue, at the time of fertilization, we see the egg release thousands of packages, each dumping a million zinc atoms, and then it's quiet."
"Each egg has four or five of these periodic sparks," O'Halloran said. "It is beautiful to see, orchestrated much like a symphony."
Since the amount of zinc in an egg correlates with successful implantation and birth, the Northwestern researchers are highlighting that their research may be used to assist in vitro fertilization.
But that raises concerns given the grave moral issues with IVF, which involves creating numerous embryos that are either killed or frozen. Moral theologians also emphasize that IVF is an injustice even for the children who are born as a result, as they are created in a lab rather than in the union of man and woman.
The study may have far-reaching consequences the research team did not intend, such as strengthening public belief in the longstanding scientific consensus that life begins at the moment of conception/fertilization.
Many of those who saw the Northwestern video said it testifies to the beauty of life and the shallow lies that buttress the argument of abortion-on-demand.
"I saw this, and I was blown away by it," said Rush Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio program Thursday afternoon. "For anybody in the mainstream media to openly admit that life begins at conception" defies arguments that an unborn child is only "tissue mass."
Researchers released a separate video of the zinc spark taking place in a mammalian egg more than a year ago:
The paper, which is entitled "The Zinc Spark is an Inorganic Signature of Human Egg Activation," was published by Scientific Reports on April 26.

OU football notebook: Corey Nelson learning to make adjustments in Travis Lewis' absence
After Tulsa's first touchdown against Oklahoma last week, which came on blown coverage, TV cameras caught Sooners defensive coordinator Brent Venables having a heart-to-heart chat with young linebacker Corey Nelson.
Venables was reminding Nelson to communicate, to prevent such breakdowns. Making calls is particularly important for the sophomore from Dallas, while he fills in for all-conference player and leader Travis Lewis.
"We have to make sure everyone's on the same page," Nelson said, referring also to middle linebacker Tom Wort. "I feel like I have to help control the defense while Travis is gone. To see something like that happen, it's detrimental to myself and the team."
Nelson, who had three tackles, received positive reviews from the coaching staff. He played in all 14 games last season, but last week was Nelson's first career start.
"It was a pretty good start for me," he said. "There's a lot of things I can improve on, though. I'm not going to lie. I can be better with my technique, being able to read the formations faster and knowing the offense and defense."
nelson not ruling out lewis just yet
Coach Bob Stoops has made it seem unlikely Lewis would return for the Florida State game a week from today. Based on Lewis' attitude this week in meetings, Nelson is not so sure.
"I could tell when we were in the film room," Nelson said Monday. "He's so ready. He's focused to get back out there. Travis isn't the guy to give up on anything, really."
It would without question be difficult for Lewis to return, now a month removed from breaking a bone in his foot during camp. Lewis is in a protective boot now, as opposed to the cast he had for a few weeks. Being in game shape would be the chief concern for Lewis.
Junior defensive end R.J. Washington was active in the Tulsa win, collecting one of the team's three sacks and nearly taking down Hurricane quarterback G.J. Kinne another time.
"He's probably a little more productive than we thought," OU ends coach Bobby Jack Wright said. "He's as productive as he's been since he's been here."
Washington appeared especially effective running the tackle spot in the Sooners' "50" scheme.
End Frank Alexander's teammates enjoyed his interception as it was happening Saturday – and in the film room Monday.
The Sooners razzed Alexander, a tight end in high school, for his high-stepping after picking off Kinne's deflected pass.
"I didn't even realize I was doing it," he said. "I was just trying to get out of there and score."
Alexander said he was petrified he was going to drop the ball, which he said hung in the air like a punt. The senior from Baton Rouge, La., had one of the best games of his career, finishing with six tackles, the interception and a couple of pass breakups at the line.

Paul Smith, director
A celebration of chamber music and chamber opera, returns for its third year to the College of Marin, as well as Hamilton in Novato, Muir Beach, and Fenix in San Rafael with three separate programs.
Contemporary Opera Marin
As part of the Mozart and Salieri – Friends and Rivals concert series, we present two fully staged chamber operas based on the rivalry and intrigue surrounding Vienna's two most famous composers at the end of the 18th century.
Scenes from Mozart's Life (1832) by Albert Lortzing
Mozart and Salieri (1897) by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakoff
Within weeks of Mozart's death, rumors began circulating regarding the circumstances of his passing, particularly the role possibly played by his mentor, colleague and rival, Antonio Salieri. Albert Lortzing wrote his music theatre work in 1832, less than 40 years after Mozart's demise. Even earlier, Alexander Pushkin penned his short story, Mozart and Salieri upon which Rimsky-Korsakoff based his opera of the same name. Fully staged and sung in English, these two widely disparate works tell the same story with both original music and borrowings from Mozart.
Music from Marin Chamber Players
Following last summer's highly successful performances of Mozart's d minor piano concerto and Beethoven's 5th Symphony, pianist Paul Smith and the Music from Marin Chamber Players (Andrei Gorchov, flute, Susannah Barley, violin, Anne Lerner-wright, violoncello) perform Mozart's Piano Concerto in C Major, K. 503 and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, the Eroica, in the arrangement's by his friend Johan Nepomuk Hummel.

The truth about institutional activity in FMCN;http://www.mffais.com/fmcn.htmlThere have been 68 new institutional postions with buying activity around 50%. Everybody is still significatly underwater just like most of us. I expect the sellers to take a break between now and the 30th analysyt meeting with some institutions adding positions. Looking for positive news on cash flow, ad revenue, and pricing increases as of July 1.I am long with 10,000 shares at xbar=37.30 with lots of institutional company underwater with me. Lots of pressure on FMCN to have a very positive meeting.
Great analysis. I agree with you that there is a lot of pressure on the company to put out some really good news.
Also, this just out from Alpha:"With over 38M shares currently sold short, it will take nearly 7 days of normal trading for short sellers of to cover their positions. This creates an appetizing situation for an opportunistic hedge fund, large investor or even the company itself via a stock buyback announcement to send the company's shares barreling northward and send short sellers frantically running for the exits. Even without the above "squeeze" scenario playing out, and barring any new bombshells from the company or a major negative macro economic development, the company's shares are likely to begin a climb back into the low to mid $30's prior to the Q2 earnings announcement expected in early September."Risky but I'm betting on a positive analyst meeting and will continue to accumulate between now and then.
PS: StockScouter Money Analysis seems to also indicate that there is not significant institutional manipulation as others have indicated on this board. ProThe price-to-sales multiple is significantly higher than the average for all stocks in the StockScouter universe. Very positive for a medium- to large-sized company like US:FMCNPrevious day's closing price for US:FMCN was significantly below its 50-day moving average, a level from which prices frequently rebound over the long term. PositiveConOne or more analysts has significantly decreased quarterly earnings estimates for US:FMCN. NegativeShares are neither being accumulated heavily nor sold heavily by financial institutions. Neutral for a large company like US:FMCNI am now accumulating small blocks

(WFC - Get Report), Bank of America and JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) reduce small-business lending -- by $12.5 billion since April and $1 billion in November alone, according to the Treasury -- communities and social networks are increasingly deciding for themselves which institutions are too big to fail. In the Pink Tea Cup's case, the only thing "big" about it are its portions of chicken and waffles. Tucked away in a residential section a block and a half from boisterous Sheridan Square in Manhattan, the Pink Tea Cup first dished out its pork chops, barbecued ribs and collard greens in 1954. When Ford put a sign on the door Dec. 3 saying debt would force the Tea Cup to close, it caught the attention of bloggers and, eventually, patrons Ebonie Johnson Cooper, Ezinne Kwubiri and Robert Harmon Jr. With a mix of legal, political and financial backgrounds, the three sent out a press release; set up a blog, Facebook page and PayPal account for donations; and began their "Save Your Soul for $5" campaign."I have a fundraising background, so I knew that if you asked people for less, they'll give you more," said Cooper, who is on the junior committee for volunteer group New York Cares and worked with President Barack Obama's campaign during the 2008 election. "In this economy, everyone understands the pain of having to lose something -- be it your house, your car, your education -- because finances won't allow you to do that."Are such actions signs that socialism will save capitalism, as Ralph Nader and other anti-business critics have suggested? No, but as bailed-out institutions like Wells Fargo

Growth, carcass composition and plasma growth hormone levels in cyclically fed rainbow trout
Abstract:Growth, body composition and plasma growth hormone levels were recorded weekly for 24 weeks in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Underyearling rainbow trout were individually identified using coded tags and placed on either a cyclic feeding regime of 3 weeks of deprivation followed by 3 weeks of feeding or a daily feeding regime. No significant difference was found in standard length and mass among the cyclically fed and daily fed fish at the end of the experiment. For cyclically fed fish, the absolute specific growth rate and condition factor reached a maximum during the last week of refeeding. Cyclically fed fish had a significantly higher moisture and protein content and lower lipid levels relative to fish fed daily. Absolute mass and fat loss in the deprivation phase of the feeding cycle decreased in intensity with subsequent feeding cycles, indicating that the fish were acclimatizing to the feeding regime. It was proposed that this response was an adaptation against possible adverse effects in the adults (e.g. locomotor performance, bone ossification rates, fat deposition rate, growth rate and age at sexual maturity). Plasma growth hormone concentrations were not affected by cyclic feeding indicating that variations in plasma growth hormone concentration are not the cause of compensatory growth in rainbow trout.
Keywords: compensatory growth; food deprivation; optimum feeding regime; proximate composition; salmonids

Just wanted to make it clear that I knew John...
This case is comepletly different. The child that accused him was a convicted rapist in Texas that got a lighter sentence because he made up the fact that he was molested back at home. The only evidence presented at the pre-trial were several eye witness adults there on the night the child says he was molested. They said nothing did or could have happened as they were there the whole night with John. And that is why the case was dropped. Please get your facts straight before making accusations. As for the program John runs... It is the best. Children learn focus, self-confidence, ethics and manners.

don't listen to bill from livermore. he is in the minority about john pfund. if you really do your research, you will find out alot in contrast to what bill is saying.
#28 Jun 27, 2009
Jonathan Stoker, you sir, are an idiot. Since when does having a majority or minority opinion determine the validity of one side or the other, when it comes to facts from an event?
Additionally, in response to this garbage, "if you really do your research, you will find out alot in contrast to what bill is saying." How can you even state that without providing some sort of source or evidence? Personally, I believe it is simply because you have none. You know I think you were just born in the wrong time period/area, because you would most definitely fit in around Salem during the witch trials.
This here is a quote from a post from one of the parents who had a child in John's program. I'll even give you the web address rather than come off as ignorant.
"Gonna go ahead and jump in here. Ted is right in all his facts. My daughter attended the school at the same time as the aforementioned child...this same child was a convicted rapist in Texas, having sodomized his own six year old brother.
Ted is also correct that in trial, he blamed his own step father and others. The accusation of John Pfund was made to lessen his own punishment.
I personally was at that gym four days a week during the time in question. My Daughter was at the "Ninja Night" in question.
Ted is also right when he said I never recieved a call from Law Enforcent Investigators. I left at least 10 messages. If he was guilty, I more than anybody wanted to know. I knew at least 10 other moms at the time (we would talk when we went to pick up our kids) and NOT ONE of them recieved a call from investigators.
Want some more...
I attended the hearings...there was no evidence other than the kids testimony. And the kids testimony was so unbelieveable, the judge even said so.
And yes, there was naked pictures on his computer. The same computer that all the teenage boys that worked for him used when he was away. Check your own computer if you have kids. Look in your temp directories. It will have a ~ in the file name. You have porn on your computer. You are a child molester.
John lost his business, his home, his fiancee, his friends, and it still continues today. The city planning/building commission did everything they could to stop him from doing business, acting well outside their charter, because (lets be frank) of the covert characterization of John as a child molester. I had a city inspector come out openly and tell me he would continue to red tag anything he could find to keep John from opening. Forget about John's rights for a moment and imagine if city planning, the IRS, Health Inspectors, or the DMV employees started stepping into Crime Prevention and you found that your applications just went "missing" because the employee felt a duty to put you through a tangle of bureaucracy until you just gave up and quit.
Those of you that called him a Sicko and pervert, or continue to perpetuate this talk should take a good look at what your doing. Do a thorough investigation of the facts and quit accusing anonymously. "
That isn't even the start of it. You want more? I'll give it to you if this isn't enough. I can't wait to disprove any garbage you seem to find.

This is a topix on Ryan the Amador Judo perv..not the Pfund Perv..

#31 Jun 27, 2009
Initially it was, until people started associating this with Pfund. Have you ever met the guy? He's actually a good person, who had false accusations against him which tarnished his reputation. I almost wish you could be falsely accused of something, and even though you were entirely innocent, still have it negatively effect your life, that way you could look at it from another perspective. Then again, I would never wish something so horrible on someone who doesn't deserve it.
#32 Jun 27, 2009
Thats a terrible thing to wish upon someone. If he is innocent,then I feel bad for him. Most kids dont make up false statements about being abused. Is this Mr.Pfund?
#33 Jun 27, 2009
John / David,
Say what you will and defend as you want. I will not risk my kids it is my job to protect them.
#34 Jun 29, 2009
This isn't Mr. Pfund. I decided to post here after I was looking up his academy website online and this popped up on the search. It really irritates me to see that his name was mentioned on this message board, especially seeing as he was falsely accused and the charges were dropped, meaning he is innocent. Do I know him? Yes. He's a great guy, who doesn't deserve any of what he went through. And that isn't true at all. Most kids lie just to save themselves, because they have no idea of what repercussions they can cause by doing so, they only think that it will remove them from accepting responsibility for their actions.
United States
#35 Jun 30, 2009
it doesn't really matter.. it is what it is! people will continue to hear about john pfund and his past.
#36 Jun 30, 2009
That's the thing about being accused of pedophilia. Its the stigma attached to it whether you're innocent or not. You're just damned. Kinda like that other Karate instructor that got accused. Mr. Smith had a Kung-fu studio in Livermore, then a couple of girls accused him of inappropriate touching. No charges were ever filed, he never saw a day in court and yet his life was changed. He closed his school, he moved out to Tracy. Sad, very sad.
#37 Jul 2, 2009
Maybe not to you. However, it definitely does matter to him, his family, his friends and his students. And there isn't anything wrong with people hearing about his past. However there is something wrong when facts are partial and incorrect, which is entirely why I am defending him.
I agree, somewhat. However I wouldn't view it as being damned, I'd view it as another challenge that one has to overcome, and they will if they are persistent in trying to overcome it.
#38 Jul 6, 2009
Is this school still open? Drove by it saw people inside still. WOW! Don't parents care about kids at all? This was his son which he still supports and supported the past years. What did he get away with in the past I wonder.
#39 Jul 6, 2009
Yes, why wouldn't the school be open? Since when does one judge on the actions of another? Would you close a public school or suggest parents do not care about their children if they took them to school? Would you close a swimming school or gymnastic school, based on the deeds of another?

what if your daughter raped ah. would you still attend that school F no. You're flipn full of S if you say yes.
#43 Jul 6, 2009
I read the press release. And based on that no daughter of mine would have gone without either myself or my wife, called being a responsible parent. Next off, no daughter of mine would allow someone to have "raped" her while other teenagers slept in the same room. The whole reported incident sounded off the hook. Furthermore it is common knowledge in Livermore that this is the second time in a year this female has cried rape. You come across like you have a personal problem with the accused. And like AVHS are you in competition business wise?

Please join us in writing-in Brett Currier for Gilmanton selectman
To The Daily Sun,
Brett Currier has done an excellent job the past three years as our selectman. He has tried to keep taxes down and provide the town with essential services. In doing so, he has had to make choices which some do not agree with, but they were necessary choices.
He stated he would only run for one term and has kept that promise. But we asked him to run as a write-in candidate and he has agreed. Please join us in re-electing Brett Currier by writing him in as selectman.
Brett Currier is a friend of taxpayers and the people of Gilmanton.

Whats your perfect TT day prep?
Doing my 1st 10mile TT this week and wondering what I should eat/ do on the day itself. Usually comute 40 miles, should I drive to save the legs? What do you guys all do to warm up.Any advice and thoughts very welcome!

erm, one thing i would say is during the warm up don't be scared to push the legs, 10 mile is, as for as endurance sports go, a sprint. Your legs need to be fired up the moment the timer starts ticking, do some close to or race pace in your warm up. Rest and sit down as much as you can throughout the day and try to snack a little more than usual to top up your glycogen supplies, eat something (like a sports gel) 15-20 mins before your start time. As for driving instead...i have no idea.

The Rest of MLB [2016 Season Preview]
The new season is upon us. Opening Day is Monday, which means it's time to wrap up our annual Season Preview series. As always, we'll end the series with a quick look around the league. Some of this is serious, most of it isn't. Enjoy.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Why They'll Suck: The middle infield is a mess and their corner outfield defense is going to be pretty bad if Yasmany Tomas plays left everyday. Also, they'll probably trade some good players to unload a bad contract again.
Bold Prediction: Shelby Miller actually pitches well. I have no idea why so many analysts think he's bad.
Atlanta Braves
Why They'll Suck: Because they are trying to suck. Rebuilding is just a nice way of saying tanking.
Bold Prediction: Nick Markakis beats his ZiPS projection and slugs .370.
Chicago Cubs
Why They'll Suck: They're going to strike out way too much. It's also only a matter of time until someone gets bit by some wild animal Joe Maddon brings into the clubhouse.
Bold Prediction: Adam Warren is their best starter. Boom!
Chicago White Sox
Why They'll Suck: They lost their leader, Drake LaRoche.
Bold Prediction: We find out Adam LaRoche was the one who complained about Drake LaRoche being in the clubhouse all the time.
Cincinnati Reds
Why They'll Suck: Their rotation is Homer Bailey, Anthony DeSclafani, Michael Lorenzen, Jon Moscot, and John Lamb. No, wait, that's the list of their injured starters. Now they have to turn to the B-team.
Bold Prediction: Joey Votto finally loses his mind, but in a polite, Canadian way. He's already doing this between pitches:
Cleveland Indians
Why They'll Suck: In all seriousness, their entire starting outfield is either hurt (Michael Brantley, Lonnie Chisenhall) or suspended (Abe Almonte). They're a Corey Kluber or Carlos Carrasco injury away from 85 losses. Beware.
Bold Prediction: Francisco Lindor leads all shortstops in WAR.
Colorado Rockies
Why They'll Suck: The Rockies exist in a perpetual state of suck. Fun Fact: They have never once won a division title. They've finished as high as second place only three times in their 23 years of existence.
Bold Prediction: They finally trade Carlos Gonzalez. I'm thinking … Orioles.
Detroit Tigers
Why They'll Suck: They've punted defense at the four corner positions and, inevitably, the relievers they acquired this winter will stink.
Bold Prediction: Justin Verlander bounces back and finished in the top five of the Cy Young voting.
Houston Astros
Why They'll Suck: Karma for doing very little in the offseason outside of adding a new closer and fifth starter. The rebuild is supposed to be over.
Bold Prediction: Carlos Correa is more Alex Gonzalez than Alex Rodriguez.
Kansas City Royals
Why They'll Suck: They replaced Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist with Ian Kennedy and Christian Colon. Like, on purpose.
Bold Prediction: Kennedy wins 18 games and Colon hits .310. Eff the Royals, man.
Los Angeles Angels
Why They'll Suck: The Angels have surrounded Mike Trout with as little position player talent as possible in an effort to make him look even greater by comparison.
Bold Prediction: Jered Weaver's fastball hits 84 mph once or twice.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Why They'll Suck: The Dodgers have surrounded Clayton Kershaw with as little pitching talent as possible in an effort to make him look even greater by comparison.
Bold Prediction: It becomes clear Yasiel Puig peaked early.
Miami Marlins
Why They'll Suck: The fans and players are doomed to pay for Jeffrey Loria's evil villian-ness. Fun Fact: They've never won a division title either. They've also never lost a postseason series.
Bold Prediction: Christian Yelich breaks out and puts up Andrew McCutchen numbers. I'm serious about that one.
Milwaukee Brewers
Why They'll Suck: They're another team that is going to suck on purpose. Before long they're going to trade Jonathan Lucroy too.
Bold Prediction: Ramon Flores hits 15 dingers with a .350 OBP.
Minnesota Twins
Why They'll Suck: I don't know, but I'm sure Twins fans will blame it on Joe Mauer.
Bold Prediction: Miguel Sano plays right field better than Torii Hunter did last year.
New York Mets
Why They'll Suck: They're still the Mets. Case in point: the recent Matt Harvey bladder story. Last year's pennant didn't change anything in that regard.
Bold Prediction: They have to trade for a starting pitcher at the deadline.
Oakland Athletics
Why They'll Suck: No joke, I can name only one A's starter (Sonny Gray) and one A's infielder (Marcus Semien). Is Bobby Crosby still playing?
Bold Prediction: Josh Reddick gets traded for a holy crap package at the trade deadline. I'm thinking … Royals.
Philadelphia Phillies
Why They'll Suck: Still reeling from the 2009 World Series, obviously.
Bold Prediction: Someone not named Maikel Franco or Ryan Howard hits a home run.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Why They'll Suck: The baseball gods will not let John Jaso's hair go unpunished.
Bold Prediction: Mark Melancon is traded at the deadline. I'm thinking … Dodgers.
St. Louis Cardinals
Why They'll Suck: The Cardinals will never suck. The only thing they suck at is sucking. Their ace made four starts and their highest paid position player hit four home runs last season, and they still won 100 games. The Cardinals, man.
Bold Prediction: Three years after learning to play second base and one year after learning to hit for power, Matt Carpenter picks up pitching and saves 46 games.
San Diego Padres
Why They'll Suck: I'm not entirely convinced the Padres exist at this point. Are we sure MLB still lets them into the league? What an amazingly nondescript franchise.
Bold Prediction: Someone throws the first no-hitter in franchise history. I'll go with Colin Rea, who is a real player and definitely not someone I just made up.
San Francisco Giants
Why They'll Suck: They buy into the "even year trend" a little too much and give Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner weeks off at a time this summer.
Bold Prediction: Bumgarner out-slugs the starting outfield.
Seattle Mariners
Why They'll Suck: I don't know how it will happen exactly, but they'll suck. The Mariners are the Wile E. Coyote of MLB. Every time they looked poised for success, they crash into the mountain with a tunnel painted on the side of it.
Bold Prediction: Bob Cano mashes 30 taters and finishes in the top three of the MVP voting. I'm expecting a big year from Robbie.
Texas Rangers
Why They'll Suck: They won't suck. They'll be just good enough to get thisclose to winning something meaningful before having it ripped away again. Think Game Six of the 2011 World Series, or the seventh inning of Game Five of last year's ALDS. That's how the Rangers roll.
Bold Prediction: Josh Hamilton leads the team in home runs.
Washington Nationals
Why They'll Suck: They're the NL version of the Red Sox. They have talent and everyone buys the hype. It should work! But it doesn't.
Bold Prediction: Bryce Harper is even better this year.
Update: Andrew Miller cleared to pitch through right wrist injury
Friday: The hand specialist has cleared Miller to pitch through the chip fracture in his right wrist, reports Jack Curry. The fracture will heal naturally and the only question is pain tolerance. I'm sure the Yankees will give him something to help with that. They dodged a big time bullet.
Thursday: Earlier this morning, Andrew Miller told reporters in Tampa he plans to pitch through his right wrist injury. "It's my right hand, I don't really need it," he said to Erik Boland. Miller was hit by a line drive in yesterday's game and suffered a chip fracture. He clarified the injury was to a bone at the base of his hand, not in his wrist.
The toughness is admirable, but Miller still has to see a specialist later today, and the specialist will determine whether the injury is actually playable. No, it's not his throwing wrist, but he still needs to be able to catch the ball with his glove. It's also possible he could do more damage if he gets hit again or falls on wet grass, something like that.
We'll see what the specialist says. Hopefully this is indeed a playable injury and Miller will be ready for Opening Day, or shortly thereafter. The Yankees are already going to be without Aroldis Chapman for 30 games, and when you build you team from the ninth inning forward, losing two top relievers is bad news.
Mailbag: Bauer, Montero, Mitchell, Refsnyder, Swisher
I've got eleven questions in this week's mailbag, and some of the answers are pretty long too. As always, you can email us questions at RABmailbag (at) gmail (dot) com.
Bryan asks: Trevor Bauer seems like the kind of pitcher Larry Rothschild could turn around. He's young, throws mid-90s heat but has control problems. Since the Indians put him in the bullpen would he make sense in a trade for the Yankees as a starter? Something like Nova and Heathcott for Bauer seems reasonable.
Bryan, I'm sorry, but I have to slap a "your trade proposal sucks" on you. Ivan Nova and Slade Heathcott have negligible trade value. The Indians are not trading five years of Bauer — he somehow still has fewer than two full years of service time — for one year of six starter and six years of a sixth outfielder, even with all their outfield injuries. Bauer's not great or anything, but nope. Not happening. The Yankees would do that in a heartbeat.
Now, that said, I could see the Yankees showing interest in Bauer because he is young (25), he is under team control for a while, and he does strike out a ton of batters. He's settled into the 91-95 mph range with his fastball and he throws a little of everything. Two-seamers, four-seamers, cutters, sliders, curveballs, changeups, whatever. I see strikeouts on four-seamers, two-seamers, curveballs, and changeups in this video:
The Indians were open to trading a starter all winter — they reportedly talked to the Yankees about a starter for outfielder trade — and Bauer is the obvious target now that he's been squeezed out of the rotation. He absolutely fits the "talented young player who is (or may be) falling out of favor with his current team" mold, and those are the types of players the Yankees have been targeting in trades. I am intrigued. I wonder what it would cost.
Patrick asks: The Yanks get a lot of grief for their talent development, out of curiosity, I tried to put a starting team together the players that they drafted/signed and developed? While this team clearly doesn't win any division, is it competitive at least?
Here is Patrick's team. He said he stuck to players who spent the "majority" of their minor league time with the Yankees, so guys like Gerrit Cole and Yangervis Solarte don't count.
C: Francisco Cervelli
1B: Greg Bird, Jesus Montero
2B: Robinson Cano
SS: Eduardo Nunez
3B: Jimmy Paredes (maybe John Ryan Murphy?)
LF: Brett Gardner
CF: Austin Jackson
RF: Melky Cabrera
SP: Ian Kennedy, Phil Hughes, David Phelps, Adam Warren, Luis Severino
RP: David Robertson, Dellin Betances, Mark Melancon, Zach McAllister, George Kontos, Tyler Clippard, Chase Whitley
Paredes actually spent more time in the minors with the Astros than the Yankees in terms of plate appearances, so he can't be the third baseman. I'm willing to fudge a little and use him though. I won't tell if you won't.
You have to add Nova to the pitching staff somewhere — I'd put him in the rotation and Phelps in the bullpen — and also Mike Dunn too. Dunn has carved out a nice little career for himself as a lefty reliever since being included Javy Vazquez/Boone Logan trade. Arodys Vizcaino, who was also in that trade, spent most of his minor league career with the Braves.
Jose Quintana technically meets the criteria — he threw way more minor league innings with the Yankees (246) than he did with the Mets and White Sox combined (54) — so I guess we have to include him too. He'd be the staff ace. That said, the Yankees didn't sign Quintana as an amateur. They picked him up after the Mets released him years ago. Letting him go was clearly a mistake. So it goes.
Aside from them, you have spare part players like Ramon Flores and Phil Coke lying around. That's about it. Manny Banuelos keeps having elbow problems — he was recently shut down with more discomfort — so I'm not sure how you'd put him on the pitching staff. The left side of the infield is weak, but you've got a star in Cano, a legit big league outfield, a solid rotation, and a great bullpen. Not too shabby. That team wouldn't be a pushover.
Jeremy asks: I think it's pretty obvious that the Yankees "won" the Montero for Pineda deal since Jesus has only played badly when he's been on the field. But given his prospect value at the time, is Pineda the best we could've gotten for Montero? I'm just curious who else you think we might've been able to get for Jesus.
It's really tough to say. The Yankees offered Montero for Roy Halladay back in the day, and the Blue Jays said no, so he wasn't going to fetch a true ace. Here's a really quick look at the top pitchers age 25 and under in 2011, the season immediately prior to the Michael Pineda/Montero trade:
- Clayton Kershaw (6.5 WAR): He had just won his first Cy Young. No chance at a trade.
- Gio Gonzalez (4.3 WAR): Was traded to the Nationals that offseason. I think the A's would have seriously considered a Montero-led package. Gio had four years of team control remaining.
- Matt Harrison (4.0 WAR): Harrison finally had a breakout year in 2011 and helped the Rangers get to the World Series. Not sure Texas goes for Montero with Mike Napoli at catcher, Mitch Moreland at first, and Michael Young at DH.
- Jeremy Hellickson (3.8 WAR): I can't imagine the Rays would trade the reigning Rookie of the Year to a division rival.
After those four you have guys like Pineda, Jhoulys Chacin, Vance Worley, Jair Jurrjens, and Trevor Cahill, plus a bunch of others who were presumably off-limits (David Price, Felix Hernandez, Chris Sale, Jordan Zimmermann). Sees like Gio was the best case scenario.
Pineda was a really good haul for Montero. He had a fantastic rookie season — Pineda is still the only starter in history to post a 9.0+ K/9 and a sub-3.0 BB/9 as a rookie — and five years of team control remaining. Pineda got hurt and it sucks. That's baseball. The Yankees still managed to come out ahead in the trade.
Many asked: Would it be crazy to make Bryan Mitchell the fifth starter?
(This question — these questions really, since a few people asked — was sent in before Mitchell broke this toe, but I'm going to answer it anyway because I think it's a good one.)
I think it would be crazy. I like Mitchell a lot — there's a reason I had him as the team's No. 7 prospect coming into the season — but he still doesn't have a changeup and his command still isn't even average. That didn't change in Spring Training. As good as he looked in camp, I am not at all convinced Mitchell is ready to outperform CC Sabathia and Nova as starting pitchers right now. Let him start in the bullpen and force the issue, the old school way.
Chris asks: Do you guys think the Yankees are screwing up another prospect with Refsnyder just like they did Joba? Of course they are not the same beast but it appears the development of both has been grossly mishandled. Hey Rob, come to spring training and fight for a job…oh yeah, that job isn't second anymore it's third…oh yeah and you have to hit the snot out of the ball too.
I don't think there's anything wrong with asking a player to try another position when they're blocked at the MLB level, and Rob Refsnyder is indeed blocked by Starlin Castro. The Red Sox moved Mookie Betts from second base to center field because of Dustin Pedroia. Manny Machado moved to third because of J.J. Hardy. Daniel Murphy moved to second because of David Wright. Chase Headley, who has been a great defensive third baseman throughout his career, used to play left field in deference to Kevin friggin' Kouzmanoff. This stuff happens all the time.
At some point the onus falls on Refsnyder. The Yankees gave him a chance to make the team. Putting him at third base was about finding a way to get him on the roster, not screwing up his development. And yes, he had to hit in Spring Training. It's common for young players to be asked to perform before giving them a job. I'm not saying Refsnyder wasn't put in a difficult position. He was. But the Yankees asked Ronald Torreyes — who is a year and a half younger than Refsnyder, by the way — to do the same thing this spring and he did it, so he got the job.
Many asked: What about Nick Swisher?
I don't see where he fits. Not only has he hit .204/.291/.326 (75 wRC+) the last two years, but where would the Yankees play Swisher? He'd have to be the backup first baseman and fifth outfielder — a fifth outfielder with two bad knees at that — which is Dustin Ackley's job. Ackley is seven years younger, able to play second base, and probably the better hitter at this point as well. I guess the Yankees could stash Swisher in Triple-A as first base depth instead of Chris Parmelee, but eh. Swisher was awesome for the Yankees from 2009-12. Brian Cashman knocked it out of the park with that trade. I don't see any room for 35-year-old Nick Swisher on the 2016 Yankees though.
Josh asks: I saw your update that no news about Betances was good news about Betances, however I was wondering how his workload has been this spring and how it compared to last year? He got off to a slow start last year and some theorized that it was due to not having thrown enough innings during spring training. Did the Yankees run him out there more? Or is the mentality for late inning guys still in the Mo-Mold of six drive-by innings?
Here are Dellin Betances' official Grapefruit League inning totals over the last three years:
2014: 12.1
2015: 8.1
2016: 6.0
That does not include minor league game appearances, and who knows what those numbers are. (Dellin threw an inning in a minor league game earlier this week.) Betances is probably going to throw one more inning this spring — I'm guessing it'll be tonight, so then he has two days off before Opening Day — and finish the spring with eight innings when you count that one minor league game inning we know about.
So, anyway, that all means Dellin's workload this spring was basically the same as last year. He's getting the veteran treatment. Betances did change his offseason routine — he said he gave himself a few extra weeks to rest before throwing again — which may have helped him this spring. Whatever he's been doing this year, it's worked so far. No issues whatsoever with Betances this spring.
David asks: I had a question about streaming, the answer to which I cannot find anywhere. I know that the Yankees are supposed to be covered by MLB's new in-market streaming deal with FOX, but I haven't really seen any follow-up on that since November. Google is surprisingly unhelpful. Do we know for sure that this is happening? I've only been able to stream spring training games via MLB.tv, leading to my concern.
The in-market streaming is definitely happening, though it won't work the way I thought it would. I thought it would be as simple as paying for the service, authenticating your credentials, then firing up MLB.tv. Apparently it won't work that way. Maury Brown has some more details:
Those that have ditched their televisions in favor of going with just internet content will be in a lurch if they wish to take advantage of getting games in their local markets. Users will need get the games streamed through FOX Sports Go, or FOX distribution points online. Like the MLB All-Star Game, users will have to authenticate to show which FOX regional sports network is part of their TV carrier's package. Games will not be streamed as part of MLB.TV Premium, which includes the league's popular At Bat for mobile devices.
You will still need to subscribe to YES through your cable provider, though it doesn't seem as though there will be any additional fees. (A few years ago the Yankees on YES in-market streaming package was an extra $50.) So you'll subscribe to YES, sign into the FOX Sports Go app, then provide your cable provider details for authentication. I thought it would be built right into MLB.tv. Lame. Still better than nothing though. Hope that helps.
James asks: To my furthest knowledge teams are willing to play between 6-8 million a year per 1 win( going off war). So with that math: if mike trout were to hit free agency right now mathematically how much would he get?
These days it's closer to $8M per WAR, but that's the league average. Every team is different. One win is worth more to the Yankees given their spot on the playoff bubble than it is to, say, the Phillies. The Yankees might be willing to pay $12M for that one additional win. Anyway, assuming $8M per WAR and the fact Trout is only 24 and his worst big league season was +8 WAR, his true on-field value is north of $64M per year. It's probably closer to $80M. I could see him easily getting $40M per season if he were a free agent right now, maybe even $45M, but baseball is not at the point where a player is going to make $60M+ per season. I truly despise $/WAR analysis though. I understand the concept and it is important, but it's become such a lazy crutch. Wins have different values to different teams at different points in time.
Jonathan asks: I'm wondering if you, or any other Yankee fans are feeling a bit disenfranchised by the Yankees PR and moves this off season? From the stub hub elitist comments, to the Chapman trade (essentially taking advantage of the market value of a player due to a domestic violence case). However as a lifelong fan, it's not like I can just stop being a fan. But I can't say my morale with this team has me proud to be a fan. Just wondering if you, or any of the other die hards feel the same?
Oh yeah, I definitely feel the same way and I'm sure others do as well. I've made it clear I did not like the Aroldis Chapman trade because of the domestic violence incident. When someone allegedly chokes and pushes their girlfriend, and shoots a gun in their house, the reaction shouldn't be "how can this benefit us?" The StubHub thing was so ridiculous it almost felt intentional. Maybe it was part of some big social experiment or something. The fan experience at Yankee Stadium is pretty lame — why are the concessions so bad? even the new stuff they added this year is all gimmicky — and then you've got Hal Steinbrenner talking about his desire to cut payroll every chance he gets. It's hard to just stop being a fan, but man, the Yankees have been pretty terrible at fostering positive PR recently.
Sam asks: You brought up that Girardi has been the manager for 9 years now in your coach post, could you do a 25 man roster of the best players from those 9 years based on each player's best season?
A 25-man roster is a bit excessive. I'm going to pass on that. I will put together a roster of the best seasons at each position during the Joe Girardi era, however. I'm going to list two teams. The first team will be off the top of my head to see how the ol' memory is working. The second team will be listed by WAR, the boring way. Here are the teams:
|Mike's Memory Team
|WAR's Team
|2009 Jorge Posada
|2015 Brian McCann (2.8)
|2009 Mark Teixeira
|2009 Teixeira (5.3)
|2012 Robinson Cano
|2012 Cano (8.4)
|2009 Derek Jeter
|2009 Jeter (6.5)
|2009 Alex Rodriguez
|2008 A-Rod (6.8)
|2011 Brett Gardner
|2010 Gardner (7.3)
|2011 Curtis Granderson
|2011 Granderson (5.7)
|2012 Nick Swisher
|2012 Swisher (3.8)
|2009 Hideki Matsui
|2015 A-Rod (3.1)
|2011 CC Sabathia
2009 CC Sabathia
2008 Mike Mussina
|2011 Sabathia (7.5)
2009 Sabathia (6.2)
2012 Hiroki Kuroda (5.5)
|2008 Mariano Rivera
2014 Dellin Betances
2015 Dellin Betances
|2008 Rivera (4.8)
2011 David Robertson (4.0)
2014 & 2015 Dellin (both 3.7)
Hey, I did pretty good! I was way off on catcher — 2009 Posada is fifth behind two McCann seasons and two Russell Martin seasons by WAR — and I made the mistake of not picking the only year A-Rod played a full healthy season at third base under Girardi. I had the wrong year on Gardner. I thought 2010 was his big breakout year, not 2011. And no, I don't think Gardner was actually worth seven wins in 2011. WAR can be dumb like that.
I undersold Robertson's stellar 2011 season. It's easy to forget how insanely good he was that year. Mussina's 2008 season is the fourth best season by a starting pitcher under Girardi at +5.2 WAR, so I'm essentially correct. WAR's not precise enough to think there's a significant difference between +5.2 WAR and +5.5 WAR, no disrespect to Kuroda. Also, the difference between 2015 A-Rod and 2009 Matsui is only +0.4 WAR, so not big deal there.
Some other seasons worth highlighting (in no particular order): 2015 Andrew Miller, 2009 Andy Pettitte, 2009 Johnny Damon, 2012 Rafael Soriano, 2009 Phil Hughes, and 2008 Joba Chamberlain. Am I missing anyone obvious?
Open Thread: March 31st Camp Notes
The Yankees lost 10-6 to the Tigers in the away game. Fill-in starter Chad Green allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He too allowed four dingers and struck out four. Austin Romine had himself a nice little day, going 3-for-3 with a homer. Starlin Castro also had two hits. Gary Sanchez and Jorge Mateo each had a base hit in their afternoon up from minor league camp. Here are the box score and video highlights for that game, and here's the rest from Tampa:
- There was a lot of news earlier today. To recap: Romine, Luis Cessa, and Johnny Barbato have all made the team. Bryan Mitchell (toe) will miss at least three months. Andrew Miller (wrist) plans to pitch through his injury. Masahiro Tanaka will start Opening Day and be followed by Pineda, Nathan Eovaldi, and Luis Severino.
- The Yankees are still deciding between CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova for the fifth starter. The longer this drags on, the better it is for Nova, I think. Also, Cessa and Barbato won spots before Mitchell's injury. Now the Yanks have to pick someone to replace Mitchell. [Bryan Hoch, Chad Jennings]
- Following today's game, Anthony Swarzak and Cesar Puello were reassigned to minor league camp, the Yankees announced. Kirby Yates is the only reliever in camp who has not yet been named to the Opening Day roster. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll get Mitchell's spot. They could always call someone who has already been optioned to Triple-A back up.
- The Yankees will play games at Marlins Park the next two days. Aroldis Chapman will pitch in one of those games and then travel to New York with the team. He'll spend a day there to get the lay of land before returning to Tampa. Per the terms of his suspension, Chapman is not allowed to be at Yankee Stadium for Opening Day. [Jennings]
- The Reds placed Rule 5 Draft pick Jake Cave on waivers today. If he clears, he'll be offered back to the Yankees per the Rule 5 Draft rules. That surprised me. Seemed like there would be a way for Cincinnati to squeeze Cave onto the roster. [Trent Rosecrans]
- Prior to today's game, Barbato was presented with the James P. Dawson Award as the best rookie in camp. Congrats to him. Slade Heathcott won it last year, Tanaka the year before.
This is tonight's open thread. This afternoon's home game will be replayed on YES after the Nets game, so figure 10pm ET or so. The road game will be replayed on MLB Network at 6am ET. MLB Network is showing the Cubs and Mets live from Las Vegas later tonight, plus all the local hockey and basketball teams are in action except the Knicks. Talk about whatever here.
Yankees place 16th in Baseball Prospectus' farm system rankings
I think prospect season is officially over now. Earlier this week, Baseball Prospectus released their annual farm system rankings, and I'm pretty sure this is the final rankings post of the spring. All the other publications have released their lists. This should be the last of it.
Anyway, the BP crew ranked the farm systems in tiers. The Dodgers, Braves, and Rockies occupy the top tier. The Yankees are in the fifth tier (out of eleven) alongside the Reds, Indians, and Athletics. New York ranks 16th overall. The entire article is free. You don't need a subscription. Here is the Yankees' blurb:
The Yankees' forays into international waters have already improved their standing from a pure volume-of-potential standpoint, and significant steps forward by even a couple of their swollen teenaged ranks could have this system looking much more dangerous a year from now.
We've already started to see the impact of the 2014-15 international spending spree on the system. I had two prospects from the spree in my Preseason Top 30 Prospects List (Wilkerman Garcia, Hoy Jun Park) and next year others like Estevan Florial, Diego Castillo, Juan DeLeon, Nelson Gomez, Brayan Emery, and Miguel Flames figure to come stateside. They're the future of the system.
Keep in mind both Greg Bird and Luis Severino lost their prospect status last season, so while they don't count towards the team's farm system ranking, they could towards the "they're young players and really good and very important to the future of the franchise" ranking. That list doesn't exist as far as I know, but it should.
Keith Law, Baseball America, and MiLB.com ranked the Yankees' farm system 13th, 17th, and 17th, respectively, so Baseball Prospectus' ranking slots right in perfectly. The consensus is the Yankees have a middle of the pack farm system that skews slightly below average. Sounds about right to me.
Girardi confirms Tanaka to start Opening Day; Romine and Cessa make roster
During this afternoon's game broadcast on YES, Joe Girardi confirmed Masahiro Tanaka will indeed start Opening Day this coming Monday. He's been lined up to start Opening Day all spring, so this isn't a surprise. The Yankees dragged out the announcement for whatever reason. It will be Tanaka's second straight Opening Day start.
The rotation behind Tanaka will be Michael Pineda, Nathan Eovaldi, and Luis Severino in that order, Girardi confirmed. The Yankees will pick between CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova for the fifth starter's spot. Apparently that decision has not yet been made. Either that or the players have not been informed and the team is not ready to make the announcement.
Girardi also said both Luis Cessa and Austin Romine will make the Opening Day roster. The writing has been on the wall for Romine since Gary Sanchez was optioned to minor league camp last week. He's had the inside track to be Brian McCann's backup for a while now. Romine has had a nice camp, and because he is out of options with a prior outright assignment, he could have elected free agent if he did not make the team.
Cessa, 23, came over from the Tigers this past offseason in the Justin Wilson trade. He allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks in ten innings this spring, and all three runs came in one of his five Grapefruit League outings. Cessa struck out ten. He's a starter by trade and can give the team multiple innings. Interestingly, Girardi said Cessa made the team even before Bryan Mitchell went down with his broken toe.
In other roster news, Johnny Barbato told reporters in Tampa this morning he has been told he will make the team as well. The 23-year-old came over from the Padres in last year's Shawn Kelley trade. He surrendered one run in 10.1 innings this spring, with 12 strikeouts and one one walk. Neither Barbato nor Cessa has pitched in the big leagues before, so the Yankees will have two true rookies in their Opening Day bullpen.
Earlier this week we learned Ronald Torreyes has indeed made the team as the backup infielder, beating out Pete Kozma. Here's the roster at the moment:
|Chapman (sus.)
|Bird (DL)
|Mitchell (DL)
|Williams (DL)
|CC or Nova
|CC or Nova
Andrew Miller is a question right now because he suffered a chip fracture yesterday when he took a line drive to the wrist. He intends to pitch through his wrist fracture, though we'll see what happens later today, after he visits a specialist. It might not be a playable injury. Hopefully it is.
Mitchell's injury created an open bullpen spot, which is that last ??? in the table under relievers. Kirby Yates and Anthony Swarzak are the only bullpeners still in big league camp and not on the Opening Day roster. Yates has out-pitched Swarzak this spring, so we'll see if that's enough to land him on the team. The Yankees could always bring someone back from minor league camp as well.

Lots of pins added. The head of this mugg wasn't the only thing getting stuck during this creation. I can't remember the number of times I stuck myself. Added some knives and hooks. Did some sculpting; the meat flaps on his chest has some fish hooks added. If you stare into his eyes long enough, you can see them move as he's watching you. Oooooo spooky!
