#26 Manny Banuelos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

New York Yankees<\/p>\n

DOB: 3\/13\/1991<\/p>\n

Previous Rank: N\/R<\/p>\n

ETA: 2012<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t look now, but it appears the Yankees will graduate a quality young starting pitcher to the Big Leagues for the second consecutive season.\u00a0 Banuelos\u2019 5-foot-11 and 155-pound frame certainly does not ooze projection, but the southpaw can reach back for 95 mph when he needs it and cruises at 92-94 mph most nights.<\/p>\n

Because his command is shaky (52 walks in under 160 innings), most evaluators prefer him at the lower end, but he should improve as he matures.\u00a0 His secondary stuff has great action in the form of a changeup with sharp fade and a heavy, digging breaking ball.\u00a0 He can afford to come up a little in terms of command with all of his pitches, but the stuff is there.<\/p>\n

Between Double-A and Triple-A, Banuelos posted a 3.75 ERA and recorded nearly as many strikeouts as innings pitched.\u00a0 He is not quite ready for the AL East, but the Yankees will be pressed to give him a shot out of Spring Training, We think he belongs back in the International League for a couple of months until he proves his fastball command is ready for the Show.\u00a0 I\u2019m usually far more conservative in projecting guys who cannot command their fastballs, but 20-year-old lefties with this kind of stuff are hard not to fall in love with.<\/p>\n
