Looks like Alan Horne was able to avoid surgery and is once again trying to rehab his way back into the organization. It’s a long shot, but you can’t hope but root for the kid. Scranton: To say Jesus Montero is on fire is actually a bit of an understatement. Montero went 2-for-4 with a

The Potential Cliff Lee Deal

The Potential Cliff Lee Deal

As you all have probably heard by now, the Yankees are close to acquiring Cliff Lee for multiple prospects, including their very best hitting prospect (Jesus Montero) and an advanced second base prospect (David Adams).

Scranton: Scranton put up a fight by scoring three runs in the 9th inning, but it wasn’t enough as they took a 6-5 loss. Jesus Montero went
