Saber-Scouting Q&A

The guys over at Saber-Scouting ran a Q&A, so of course I slipped in a question:

Q: The Yankees signed righty Chase Vacek out of the United League a few weeks ago, and the 24 year-old will start the season in the Sally League. Have you seen him pitch, and if you have, what do you think?
A: (Kiley) I haven’t seen him personally, but have heard some good things about his spring performance from Yankee officials. A related, interesting nugget: the Yankees signed 3 guys that were on the same indy league staff last season: Vacek, Stephen Artz (saw him last week), and former-Rangers farmhand Luke Massetti, all from San Angelo of the United League (league that produced Edwar Ramirez). Former Yankee player and current San Angelo manager Doc Edwards knows what he’s doing down there.

Luke Massetti

Believe it or not, I have seen this kid pitch. Sadly, he wasn't very impressive that night. But during a coaching event in Las Vegas last November, I ran into several coaches who actually singled Massetti out as someone with some serious pro-upside.

Legitimate prospect? I don't know. Trade bait? Certainly.
