Rivera watches Manny Banuelos and has high praise
-------------------------------------------------
3/10/11, Rivera says Banuelos is "best prospect I've ever seen," per Beacher Report:
"New York Yankees: Mariano Rivera Calls Manny Banuelos 'Best I've Ever Seen'," Bleacher Report, by Larry Barnes
"Top pitching prospect Manny Banuelos pitched another pair of scoreless innings Wednesday evening and looked as dominating as ever while doing it.
- But that only ranked second for the day on the ManBan newswire.
The top story involving the soon-to-be-20-year-old phenom came courtesy of New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera, who referred to Banuelos
- as the best pitching prospect he has ever seen.
And the praise from Mo didn't stop there.
"I like everything about him," Rivera said of Banuelos.
"The makeup and how he keeps his composure. I notice situations and how you react in situations. Where you make your pitches in tough situations, where you spot your pitches,
- he has the ability to do that."...
Were Banuelos simply overpowering people with raw stuff, that would be one thing; that's not what this kid is doing."...
