Yankees farmhand arrested in Tampa

An incident in Tampa…I’m shocked!

A minor league pitcher with the New York Yankees was arrested early Thursday morning on trespassing and obstruction charges after he refused to leave a Tampa restaurant.

Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Green Iguana Bar & Grill on Anderson Road just before 2 a.m. Management at the establishment told investigators that George Kontos attempted to re-enter the business after he was asked to leave.

The 21-year-old right-hander with the Tampa Yankees of the Class A Florida State League was again asked to leave. A HCSO deputy attempted to escort him from the premises but he kept pulling and was ultimately taken into custody.

Thanks to the ever watchful…Was Watching.

Kontos is a 2006 #5 draft pick out of George Steibrenner's alma mater, Northwestern (where he had an uneven career, to put it mildly). He dominated the NY-P last year after signing, and he's got a major league fastball and slider, but his offspeed pitches are weak and he's got issues with his mechanics.

Whats the Yankee pitching prospect Tommy John tally up to now? Sanchez, Melancon, Cox, and Christian Garcia?

That's not how you get arrested after misbehaving at a restaurant. This is how you arrested for misbehaving at a restaurant.

George Steibrenner's alma mater, Northwestern

I'm pretty sure Steinbrenner's a Purple Cow.

Steinbrenner's an Eph, but he apparently was also an assistant football coach at Northwestern under Lou Saban.
