Today on Pinstripe Alley - 3/16/21

The march through March continues, not to be confused with March Madness. No, unfortunately the games we’re going through don’t count just yet, but we’re getting ever closer to ones that do. In the meantime, fill out your brackets and kick back another week or two until Opening Day arrives. (For the record, we’re doing brackets in the PSA Slack and I’ve got Ohio State taking it all. Call it revenge for dropping the National Championship in football a few months ago.)

Going back to baseball, we’ve got a full day of content for it. First, Dan continues his look through the prospect pool in every position for the Yankees by tackling second base. Then we’ve got a season preview from Peter on Nick Nelson, followed by a look from Tom at one potential weak point that’s emerged in spring training. Cooper looks at how Lucas Luetge has emerged from the pack to contend for a bullpen spot, and Matt will cover today’s exhibition game. Speaking of, here’s the details on that:

Fun Questions:

1. How many relievers do you think will be in the “circle of trust” by the end of the year?

2. Do you follow college baseball at all? If so, what teams?
