Yankees Minor League Report 4/28/14: Zoilo Almonte Drives Home Four in Scranton Marathon Win

Scranton (Defeated Durham, 10-8, in 13 innings)

OF Zoilo Almonte:  3-for-6, 2B (2), HR (6), 4 RBI, RS, 2 K
Three HR in last four games.      His single vs. a left-handed reliever tonight was his first hit off of a left-handed pitcher all year.  He was 0-for-22 entering that AB.
OF Ramon Flores:  2-for-6, 2B (7), RBI, RS, BB, 3 K, SB (2)
Five 2-hit games in his last six played as he seems to have broken out of his doldrums in a fairly big way.
IF Zelous Wheeler:  3-for-6, 2B (6), HR (1), RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
First game since 4/10.  HR came in the Top of the 13th.     8th year in the minors; has yet to make big league debut despite some decent numbers.  (.367 career OBP in 770 minor league games).  Has experience at second, short, and third.
2B Jose Pirela:  2-for-6, 2B (4), RBI, 2 RS, 3 K
SS Dean Anna:  1-for-5, RS, BB, K
C Francisco Arcia:  2-for-5, 2B (2), RBI, RS, K
9-for-28
OF Adonis Garcia:  2-for-7, 2B (3), RS, 2 SB (3)
29-year old Cuban.  Hit .256/.312/.357 at this level last year.
1B/3B Russ Canzler:  1-for-5, RBI, RS, 2 BB, 3 K
UTIL Ronnier Mustelier: 1-for-6, RBI, 3 K, SB (1)

RHP Alfredo Aceves:  4.2 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
1.98 ERA in 13.2 IP with 12 hits allowed, five walks, and 14 strikeouts.
RHP Yoshinori Tateyama: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
4.66 ERA in 9.2 IP with 10 hits allowed, 3 walks, and 11 strikeouts.
RHP Matt Daley: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, HR
Strong strikeout rate (17 in 9.1 IP), but there is really nothing much to get excited about overall.
RHP Robert Coello:  1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
-----------------------------------------
Trenton (Squeaked by New Hampshire, 2-1)

C Gary Sanchez:  2-for-4
Average back over .300 (.310)  Third consecutive two-hit game.
CF Mason Williams: 1-for-4, BB, K
22-for-99.   Williams has struck out 11 times in his last 10 games.  In his first 13 games, he struck out three times.
OF Taylor Dugas:  1-for-3, 3B (2), RBI, BB, K, SB (3)
One scouting report on Dugas:  No power.  Average speed.  Decent defense.   So, what makes him any kind of prospect?  His on-base ability combined with his overall contact rate.   I see guys like Dugas more suited for a NL-type of team - a tough out as a pinch-hitter with the ability to steal a base from time to time. 
2B Robert Refsnyder:  0-for-4, K
Has been red-hot as of late, so we will let this slide.
3B Rob Segedin:  1-for-4, K
OF Ben Gamel:  1-for-5, K
1B Kyle Roller:  1-for-4, 2 K

RHP Zach Nuding:  5.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
2.43 ERA in 29.2 IP with 23 hits allowed, seven walks, and 28 strikeouts.  As I have said before, the bullpen may be his ultimate destination - but he is throwing well out of the rotation right now.
RHP Taylor Garrison (W, 1-0):  3 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
4.66 ERA; 9.2 IP, 5 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 7 BB, 5 K.  Not the type of line one wants to see.
RHP Cole Kimball (S, 1):  0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
--------------------------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Dunedin, 5-3)

3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-4, RS, E (1)
Hitting .303 with 18 walks and 18 strikeouts in 24 games.
2B Angelo Gumbs:  1-for-4, RS, SB (3)
Breaks 0-for-12 slide.
CF Jake Cave:  1-for-4
C/RF Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, 2 K
Has 18 Ks in 22 games to go along with all of the gaudy power numbers.
SS Cito Culver:  0-for-4, 2 K
Has 26 K in 23 games to go along with all of the .... well, other sucky numbers.
OF Zach Wilson:  2-for-4, 2B (4), 2 RBI, K
11 hits in last 16 AB.
SS Brendan Ryan: 1-for-3, RBI, BB, K

LHP Dan Camarena (L, 1-3):  5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K
3.65 ERA in 24.2 IP with 28 hits allowed, 10 walks, and 20 strikeouts.  
LHP James Pezos:   2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Been roughed around a lot lately, so a game like this was needed.
