In the GCL, Ian Clarkin made his third start and didn't fare too well: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K. Even though all of his games have been starts, he has only thrown five total innings. He has allowed six runs in those innings with four walks and four strikeouts. The numbers themselves are meaningless - the key is to get a few games under his belt now instead of needing to make his professional debut next year. It also allows the Yankees staff to take a look to see if any refinements can be worked on.
After getting in a few games with Staten Island, Abiatal Avelino was returned to the GCL (fellow teenage shortstop Tyler Wade replaced him in Staten Island).
Oh, and for those who think the Yankees are cheap when it comes to Cuban prospects, Omar Luis, a 19-year old Cuban LHP, has started 11 games in the GCL, compiling a 5.68 ERA with a 43/29 K/BB ratio over 31.2 innings. Luis signed for $4M in June, 2012. He throws in the low-90s He also has a curve, change, slider, and cutter in his arsenal.
-----------------------------------
Scranton: (9-3 lead in the Top of the 9th as I type this - if they blow it, they blow it. Chris Bootcheck started, so who cares?)
JR Murphy: 1-for-3, HR (6), RBI, RS, BB, HBP - Home runs in back to back games. All year, I have been justifying why Murphy may wear down and end the season with a thud - I guess I could have saved myself plenty of typing.
Ronnier Mustelier: 1-for-4, HR (6), 2 RBI, RS, BB - If they can find a spot for him on the 40-man, it may be worthwhile to bring him up. He has been smoking the ball lately.
Neil Medchill: 1-for-3, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB - First career Triple-A home run.
David Adams: 0-for-4, RBI, BB
Jose Gil: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, BB
------------------
Trenton (Lost to New Britain, 4-1, in another marathon (13 innings). Carmen Angelini struck out with the bases loaded to end the game)
Gary Sanchez: 2-for-5, BB, HBP - Hitting .259 (21-for-81) with 12 walks.
Ben Gamel: 2-for-6 - Hitting .232 (13-for-56) since promotion.
Ramon Flores: 2-for-6, BB, K - Has 74 walks in 132 games.
Jose Pirela: 2-for-7, 2B (25), RBI - He has been solid since June 1st. (.309)
Kyle Roller: 1-for-3, BB - Carmen Angelini pinch-ran for him, then struck out with the bases loaded to end the game. I bet they wished Roller was still in the lineup at that point (assuming he wasn't injured)
Bryan Mitchell: 7.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K - This is the type of ability Mitchell has. In three starts for Trenton, he has yet to allow more than two runs in any of them (18.2 IP, 14 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5 BB, 16 K)
Francisco Rondon: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K - The Trenton relievers are a thrill ride - Kahnle/Burawa/Rondon all feature overpowering type of stuff, but also walk the tightrope with the higher walk totals (4.03 ERA; 73.2 IP, 56 H, 44 R, 33 ER, 6 HR, 49 BB, 79 K)
---------------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Lakeland, 6-3)Taylor Dugas: 2-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS - Home run for Taylor Dugas? That is not a common occurrence, as he now has three in 580 career minor league at-bats (only 24 doubles and one triple). Simply put, not his game and won't likely ever be. Hitting .297/.407/.354 in 175 AB since joining Tampa. He is going to live or die on his OBP and it is going to be fascinating to see if his game translates in the upper minors.
Cito Culver: 1-for-4, RBI - Holding his own in Tampa (.304 in 46 AB). Hitting .239/.316/.346 overall.
Pete O'Brien: 1-for-4, 2B (13), RS - .283/.344/.529 in 431 AB for Charleston/Tampa with 35 doubles, four triples, 21 home runs, and 90 RBI. Can he survive Double-A?
Robert Refsnyder: 0-for-3 - .283/.408/.400 for Tampa; .293/.413/.410 overall in 454 AB. Once again, a few intriguing prospects are going to try to crash through Double-A next year. It is a little bit different this time as O'Brien and Refsynder are college players trying to break through; this year, Trenton had kids drafted out of high school or signed internationally.
Rafael DePaula (L, 1-3): 5 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2 HR (6.06 ERA; 49 IP, 54 H, 35 R, 33 ER, 5 HR, 30 BB, 50 K) - Interesting how a promotion can show you just how far a way a player really is. In fairness, he threw 64.1 innings last year and has 113.1 this year. (146/53 K/BB ratio)
Zach Varce: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
--------------------------
Staten Island (Lost to Brookyln, 2-1)
Eric Jagielo: 0-for-3, BB, 3 K - 0-for-8 in last three games, but has walked four times.
Tyler Wade: 0-for-3, BB - Still looking for that first Staten Island hit (only been two games)
Michael O'Neill: 0-for-2, BB
Brandon Thomas: 0-for-4, 2 K
Mike Ford: 1-for-3, RBI, BB
Kale Sumner: 1-for-4
Trent Garrison: 1-for-4
Giovanny Gallegos (L, 2-7): 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 1 K - Started his year on fire, but has regressed. (4.30 ERA; 60.2 IP, 65 H, 30 R, 29 ER, 7 HR, 14 BB, 38 K)
Cole Coshow: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K (3.89 ERA; 39.1 IP, 36 H, 27 R, 17 ER, 2 HR, 21 BB, 35 K)
Stefan Lopez: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K (1.09 ERA; 33 IP, 23 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 7 BB, 40 K) - 22-year old pitched in 15 games here last year.
