Remember Ivan Nova?
The righty has been in the Yankees farm system since 2006. He was close to being called up last year despite posting lousy numbers in Triple-A.
Well, my bet is you will definitely be seeing Nova in pinstripes in 2010. After navigating through a part of MLB.com in Spanish, I came across his statistics.
| G | GS | W | L | IP | ERA | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | GO/AO | AVG |
| 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 25.2 | 1.05 | 17 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 17 | 1.86 | .187 |
Hello, Nova.
If he continues this success through spring training, I believe he has a chance to make the opening day roster. Most likely, however, you’ll see his debut later in the season.

I touched on Jesus Montero earlier today. Unfortunately, he’s struggling (3-for-26) for the Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League.
