Baseball season goes by so quickly. Seems like yesterday I started up these reports for 2013 - now, we are nearing the end. The only team I currently report on who is likely playoff bound is Trenton. Charleston's season has been solid, just not good enough. Scranton, Tampa, and Staten Island all have had rough seasons.
As for the teams I report on only sporadically, the GCL 2 squad is in fine shape. They are 34-22 on the season and are destined for the playoffs. The GCL 1 squad hasn't been as good (26-30). I assume the Yankees can shift players around to get the best mix on the GCL 2 squad heading into the playoffs.
Finally, the league I never report on: The DSL squads are not playoff bound. The DSL 1 squad has been good this year (40-30), just not good enough. The DSL 2 squad would make the Houston Astros blush with their 15-56 record.
----------------------------------
Scranton (Lost to Pawtucket, 6-5)
Ronnier Mustelier: 2-for-4, 2B (19), BB - 13-game hitting streak. 20-for-48 during that streak with six doubles. Making a case for a September roster spot. However, I do not believe he is Rule 5 eligible after 2013, so the Yankees may decide to keep him off of the 40-man for now.
Addison Maruszak: 2-for-5, RS - 3-for-23 in August.
Neil Medchill: 2-for-4, 2B (1), BB
Adonis Garcia: 2-for-5, 2B (9), RS
Bobby Wilson: 2-for-4, HR (7), 3 RBI, RS, BB - 30-year old catcher is hitting .215. Having a veteran catcher in the minors is a good idea, IMHO. But he shouldn't sniff the majors in September.
David Adams: 1-for-4, RS, BB - .271/.370/.404 in 55 games. See you next Sunday, kid.
Dan Johnson: 3-for-4, 2B (26), RBI, RS, BB - .257/.383/.454 in 452 AB. If only he was 24 instead of 34.
Chase Whitley: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR (3.36 ERA; 61.2 IP, 60 H, 24 R, 23 ER, 20 BB, 57 K, 3 HR) - He has done a solid job as a "spot starter" recently, though tonight he was a bit off his game. Regardless, he started the year off on the disabled list, so these starts are allowing him to get in his innings. He threw 91 in 2011 and 84.1 in 2012.
Sam Demel: 2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K (1.88 ERA; 48 IP, 35 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 22 BB, 58 K) - 27-year old RHP with spotty major league record.
---------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Portland, 3-2, in 10 innings)Gary Sanchez: 1-for-4, RBI - .239/.363/.358 in 67 AB for Trenton.
Ramon Flores: 1-for-4, RBI, BB - 9 walks in last 10 games; 72 walks overall. Flores has struggled this season, but his plate discipline seems to be intact.
Mason Williams: 0-for-4, K - 8-for-49 since joining level. Has yet to draw a walk (12 strikeouts). Williams has been a bit overmatched so far, it appears. Not anything to be concerned about at this point in time.
Jose Pirela: 1-for-3, 2B (23), RS, BB - .274/.359/.408 in 449 AB for Trenton/Scranton.
Ben Gamel: 1-for-4 - 9-for-38 with a pair of doubles.
Kyle Roller: 1-for-4, RS
Reegie Corona: 3-for-4, RBI, RS
Mikey O'Brien: 6.2 IP, 9 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K, 1 HR (4.01 ERA; 101 IP, 101 H, 50 R, 45 ER, 8 HR, 42 BB, 84 K) - The 5'11" 23-year old RHP hasn't been great this year - but hasn't been terrible either.
Danny Burawa: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K (2.71 ERA; 63 IP, 44 H, 23 R, 19 ER, 1 HR, 41 BB, 62 K, 1.48 GO/AO)
Charley Short (W, 1-0): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K - Double-A debut for the 25-year old former independent leaguer. Short has been fantastic since joining the organization last year (104/23 K/BB ratio over 75 innings), but getting information as to how that is hasn't been easy. Maybe now that he is in the higher minors, we'll find out more.
------------------------
Tampa (Crushed by Daytona, 11-2. Tampa is a miserable 53-73 on the season)
Robert Refsnyder: 1-for-2, 2 RBI, BB, SF - .282/.410/.399 in 383 AB for Tampa. .354/.494/.415 in 20 August games.
Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, 2 K - .255/.306/.459 in 220 AB for Tampa; .287/.348/.534 overall. Hitting .187/.299/.360 in 20 August games.
Taylor Dugas: 1-for-4 - .284/.394/.327 in 162 AB for Tampa.
Mikeson Oliberto: 1-for-2, 2B (4), 2 RS, 2 BB, SB (4) - .278/.328/.407 in 54 AB for Tampa.
Saxon Butler: 2-for-4
Dan Fiorito: 2-for-4 - .285/.369/.348 in 221 AB.
Cesar Vargas (L, 0-3): 2.1 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 4 BB, 2 K - Hasn't done very well since promotion (obviously). Has a 11.68 ERA in 12.1 innings with a 9/8 K/BB ratio. Overall, he is 4-8 with a 4.10 ERA (120.1 IP, 109 H, 67 R, 55 ER, 7 HR, 43 BB, 92 K, 1.27 GO/AO)
Edixon Mejia: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K - 23-year old RHP has pitched pretty well, but has only 3.2 innings above the GCL level.
Taylor Garrison: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K (1.66 ERA; 54.1 IP, 28 H, 15 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 50 K)
------------------------
Charleston (Defeated Asheville, 8-5)
Greg Bird: 2-for-4, 2B (35), RBI, 2 RS, BB - .293/.428/.518 in 434 AB. Has 98 walks. Hitting .304/.471/.570 (1.041 OPS) in 25 August games after hitting .303/.456/.629 (1.085 OPS) in 26 July games.
Jake Cave: 2-for-5, 2B (36), RBI - .286/.351/.405 in 437 AB. After a rough May (.644 OPS), he has been solid (.791 in June, .776 in July, .765 in August). This for a guy who had one AB of professional experience prior to 2013.
Jackson Valera: 3-for-4, HR (2), 3 RBI, RS - 28-for-86 since joining Charleston. Before this stretch, the 21-year old catcher has never hit much at any level.
Reymond Nunez: 2-for-5, RBI, RS - .261/.320/.432 in 352 AB. Repeating level after disappointing 2012 campaign.
Daniel Aldrich: 2-for-4, 2B (1), HR (2), 2 RBI, RS - After hitting first professional HR on Saturday, he wastes no time getting #2.
Ericson Leonora: 1-for-4, 2B (11)
Luis Niebla: 4 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR (4.99 ERA; 74 IP, 96 H, 54 R, 41 ER, 9 HR, 20 BB, 59 K) - 22-year old RHP is getting a rude awakening thus far.
Jose Campos (W, 4-2): 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K (3.41 ERA; 87 IP, 82 H, 37 R, 33 ER, 5 HR, 16 BB, 77 K) - Obviously had an innings cap for 2013 after his surgery. Previous high in innings was the 81.1 innings in 2011.
James Pezos (S, 1): 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K - 4.31 ERA in 31.1 innings with 30/8 K/BB ratio for Charleston.
----------------------
Staten Island (Lost to Tri-City, 7-3)
Bubba Jones: 2-for-4, 2B (15), HR (2), 3 RBI, RS - .284/.353/.399 in 183 AB for 21-year old first baseman (actually older than Greg Bird). 7th round pick in 2011 has some offensive upside, but again - when you are anchored at first base, you really need to turn it up an extra notch offensively.
Eric Jagielo: 0-for-4, K - .272/.380/.450. 0-for-9 in last 2 games after hot stretch.
Michael O'Neill: 2-for-4, RS - .232/.295/.309
Abiatal Avelino: 0-for-4, 2 K - 11-for-50 since promotion.
Brandon Thomas: 0-for-4, 2 K
Yeicok Calderon: 1-for-3, 2B (15), RS, BB
David Palladino: 4 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K (4.80 ERA; 45 IP, 52 H, 28 R, 24 ER, 3 HR, 24 BB, 44 K)
