Hey all. This is my second go-around at a dynasty. I had done a previous one with the Pirates but it just wasn't going anywhere, so I'm going to try a different approach. It'll be in the first person, so hopefully it'll be interesting.

So... this is me. I hate this picture, I really do. It was back in March when they had the big welcome thingamajig in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. They just slapped a uni on me and had me pose for a picture out on the new field. I'll try to get a new and updated one for you guys sometime soon. You'll notice in my "action" pictures that I look a little different now. I decided to grow my hair a tad longer and I think the 5 o'clock shadow really makes me irrisistable to the ladies... :D

But now you're probably wondering WHO I am. Well, I'm Andy Bronson. I'm 20 years old from the tiny village of Herkimer, New York. I was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Yankees. Last year, I quickly rose the ranks from the Gulf Coast Yankees to the Charleston River Dogs, up to the Staten Island Yanks. I was fortunate enough to take home a championship with the Baby Bombers, but I'm just happy to be moving up the ranks. Here are the stats that all you fans crave.

Name: Andrew (Andy) Bronson

Number: 13

Date of Birth: 09/09/1986

Birthplace: Herkimer, NY

Height: 5'10

Weight: 170 lbs.

Signed: Undrafted Free Agent (NYY)

Contract length: 4 years, $100,000/ yr.

Scouting Report: Bronson is an up-and-coming talent in the Yankee farm system. Known as a speedster who makes solid contact with the ball, he will be at the top of most lineups. He is a valuable utility player, with experience in all positions, including catcher and pitcher. However, he chases a lot of bad pitches outside the strike zone and will need to work on that.

Well, that's all about me. I've included some game action pictures just from a preseason game against the Reds at Legends Field. Opening Day is a couple days away, so if you guys have any questions you want to throw at me, please feel free.

Awsome man, we'll see you on ESPN one day

Here's hoping so. I've still got a long way (and 3 levels of the Minors) to go, but I'm just hoping to make it into the Show as soon as possible while also trying to help the Tampa Yankees win a few ballgames and maybe take home a trophy at the end of the year.

Hey all. The season here in Tampa is just a day away. I'm finishing up Spring Training here with the big club, but they're going to send me back on down. I'm on the 40-man roster, though! I just played as hard as I possibly could all spring. Here are my numbers:

Average: .270 (10 for 37)

HR: 1

RBI: 4

SB: 8

CS: 0

Positions played: 2B, 3B, SS, CF

Also, due to the whole Steinbrenner thing, I had to get a haircut and shave. Stupid rules. Anyway, I attached a couple more action pics from Spring Training for you guys.

Again, questions are always appreciated, but I know you guys won't have much to talk about until the season gets underway.

My stats on the scoreboard at Legends Field. That was the beginning of spring, so don't let the zeros fool you.

Hey guys. Just thought I'd make a quick post before BP. I'm a little nervous coming out in Tampa here, and just starting on Opening Day is a rush in itself. I've got a few butterflies in my stomach, but I hope they'll die down once the game gets started.

Wish me luck!

Hey guys! We just played a great game today against the Lakeland Flying Tigers. I had THREE, yes THREE bunt singles in the game and stole four bases. Here's my overall line.

4-5, 2 R, 4 SB, 0 CS.

Their pitcher didn't have a pickoff move whatsoever and never even LOOKED me back, so I ran wild on him.

Final score: Tampa Yankees 6, Lakeland Tigers 4.

Here are a few pictures I grabbed from my buddy today.

(OOC to Mark B): Well since we've only got Legends Field and Ft. Lauderdale Stadium up for A class games, that's all I have choices for. I'm debating whether or not to play at some of the classic stadiums, just so it's not the same field over and over and over again. For example, the Lakeland Tigers would play at Tiger Stadium, the Dunedin Jays will play at Exhibition Stadium, etc.
