Scranton (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 3-1)
JR Murphy: 2-for-4, 2B (17), RS - Has been slumping in August, so he needed a night like this. Has 27 doubles in 380 AB overall this season.
Ronnier Mustelier: 3-for-4, RBI - His season was going nowhere, but now he has a 9-game hitting streak. His last four games have all been multi-hit efforts.
David Adams: 1-for-5 - 7 hits in last 38 AB.
Randy Ruiz: 1-for-3, 2B (14), RBI, BB
Dan Johnson: 2-for-4, RS
Melky Mesa: 0-for-3, BB, CS (2) - Finally draws his 10th walk of the season (111 K). Over the last two seasons, he is 33-for-39 stealing bases.
Chase Whitley (W, 3-2): 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K (3.12 ERA; 57.2 IP, 56 H, 21 R, 20 ER, 2 HR, 17 BB, 55 K) - With injuries to Jose Ramirez and Vidal Nuno and the callup of David Huff, Scranton needed someone to step in to take a few starts - Whitley has done very well in the role. In his three spot starts, he has allowed two runs (one earned) on 10 hits with one walk and 11 strikeouts over 12 innings. Starting is probably still not his destiny, but he obviously has the ability to stretch out when needed.
Dellin Betances: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K - Continues to torture Triple-A hitters. Hasn't allowed a run since June. Should be noted though that he had four days between appearances - the Yankees really haven't turned him into a true reliever.
--------------------------------------
Trenton (Lost to New Britain, 6-4)
Mason Williams: 2-for-5, 3B (1), RBI - 5-for-28 since joining squad. First multi-hit game.
Ramon Flores: 2-for-4, 2B (21), BB - Nice bounce back after last night's 0-for-6.
Gary Sanchez: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB - Has 9 walks in 12 games.
Kyle Roller: 2-for-4, HR (15), 2 RBI, 2 RS - As I have said a few times, I think the power is real - but he really doesn't have anywhere to play.
Ben Gamel: 1-for-4, 2B (2) - Now has 30 doubles overall in 387 AB.
Jose Pirela: 0-for-4
Mikey O'Brien (L, 7-7): 5.2 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 1 HR (4.20 ERA; 94.1 IP, 92 H, 49 R, 44 ER, 42 BB, 75 K, 7 HR)
Zach Nuding: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K (4.10 ERA; 123 IP, 136 H, 71 R, 56 ER, 8 HR, 52 BB, 97 K)
--------------------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Clearwater, 11-2)
Robert Refsynder: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, CS (6) - Has 77 walks in 117 games this season. So, he has plate discipline, has shown some doubles power (29), and steals some bases. Can he do what others have had trouble doing, and conquer Double-A?
Taylor Dugas: 1-for-3, RS, BB, CS (5) - 14 hits in last 34 AB. Only 17-for-26 stealing bases, and given that he likely won't ever have power, a high steal rate is probably going to be essential for him.
Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, 2 K - 4-for-38 slide. 11-for-61 in August, though six of those hits have gone for extra bases. Has struck out 123 times.
Cito Culver: 0-for-4, 2 K - 6-for-24 since joining Tampa.
Cesar Vargas (L, 0-2): 4.2 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K - Two rough starts in Tampa after pitching very well in Charleston. Every level presents its own set of challenges, though part of it with Vargas could be fatigue (118.1 innings this year; previous high was 71.2 in 2011)
-------------------------------------
Charleston (Defeated West Virginia, 3-2)
Greg Bird: 3-for-5, 2B (32), HR (19), 2 RBI, RS - I am nearly running out of things to type about him. The double was a game-winning double in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Angelo Gumbs: 1-for-3, RS, BB, 2 SB (10) - 16-for-22 stealing bases between Tampa/Charleston.
Jake Cave: 1-for-5, 2 K
Dante Bichette: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K - Hitting slightly better as of late, but this has been a lost season.
Luis Niebla: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K (4.89 ERA; 70 IP, 88 H, 48 R, 38 ER, 17 BB, 57 K, 8 HR)
Ty Webb: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K (3.86 ERA; 23.1 IP, 19 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 6 BB, 28 K)
Jose Campos (W, 3-2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K (3.49 ERA; 85 IP, 81 H, 37 R, 33 ER, 5 HR, 16 BB, 74 K) - Really looking forward to his 2014 campaign, when I assume the Yankees will let him loose.
---------------------------------------
Staten Island (Lost to Brooklyn, 2-0)
Eric Jagielo: 1-for-1, 2B (12), 2 BB - 11 hits in his last 33 AB, seven of which have been doubles (and two of which have been home runs)
Abiatal Avelino: 2-for-4, BB, SB (1) - Stealing bases is, to put it mildly, his thing. He now has 24 in 28 attempts in 40 games.
Yeicok Calderon: 0-for-3, BB
Kale Sumner: 0-for-2, 2 BB
Trent Garrison: 1-for-4
David Palladino: 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K - His talent is as large as his body (6'8"), but whether he can harness it will be the big question. (41 IP, 46 H, 24 R, 20 ER, 22 BB, 41 K)
