This is from the past two days in minor league training camp. On Tuesday, the Pirates played a couple of intrasquad games, with AAA and AA players in one and rookie-level players in the other. On Wednesday, the Yankees came in for AAA and AA games. Somehow the whole time I’ve been here I’ve managed to miss nearly all of the class A players.
Chris Archer threw six innings on Tuesday against the AAA players. He mostly pitched well. Jason Martin came scored in the first after a double and, eventually, a wild pitch. Gregory Polanco fanned the first two times he faced Archer, but then hit a long, opposite field homerun with two aboard.
