Yankees Farm Harvest Seen Falling Below Par
The Yankees farm system, once a steady producer of top prospects, is unlikely to aid the 1961 big club. Only 10 new faces on the roster. Deron Johnson, Leroy Thomas, and Jesse Gonder appear to have the best chance to stick. Johnson, 22, hit 27 homers and 92 RBIs with a .245 average for Richmond. Thomas, 25, batted .390 at Amarillo but slumped to .246 after a Richmond promotion. Gonder, 25, acquired from Cincinnati, batted .327 for Richmond and is the only Negro on the team. Roland Sheldon, 21, a former UConn star, may be the top raw recruit with a 15-1 mark at Auburn and a 2.88 ERA.
