Jorge Saez
OK, now who IS Jorge Saez? A Miami native and longtime minor league catcher who spend most of last season with the Yanks AA Trenton farm team. To be honest, I didn't snap a lot of photos of him -- though I did capture this last June in Hartford against the Yard Goats. He wasn't one of the "hot prospects" compared to teammates Miguel Andujar, Jorge Mateo or Billy McKinney. But he made enough of a positive impression that he was invited to big league camp this spring -- and made it into the very first exhibition game. Whether or not he he makes the majors, he can tell his kids and grandkids he once once a game for the Yankees. And with the power of TV and archived video, Saez's moment will be preserved forever.
