Scranton (Lost to Durham, 6-5)

OF Ramon Flores:  2-for-4, 2B (8), HR (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Suddenly up to .280/.394/.463 in 82 AB with 16 walks and 20 strikeouts.   Has six 2-hit games in last seven contests.
OF Zoilo Almonte:  1-for-4, 2B (3), K
.261/.301/.500 in 88 AB.
UTIL Ronnier Mustelier:  2-for-4, 2B (2), RS

2B Jose Pirela:  1-for-3, 3B (1), RS, SAC
.241/.259/.349 in 83 blah AB.
C Austin Romine:  0-for-4, RBI, K
4-for-37 (.108).   Hitless in last 20 AB.
IF Corban Joseph:  1-for-4, RBI, 2 K, CS (1)
Played first base and batted 9th today.  He has fallen off of a cliff.
OF Antoan Richardson:  1-for-3, HR (1), RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, SB (8)
.282/.417/.359 in 15 games. 
1B/3B Russ Canzler:  1-for-4, 2 K
SS Dean Anna:  1-for-5, RBI, 2 K

RHP Shane Greene:  3.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
Not going to sugarcoat a poor outing too much, but his lack of work this season needs to be considered.
RHP Chase Whitley (L, 2-2):  4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
3.38 ERA in 18.2 IP with 17 hits allowed, seven walks and 21 strikeouts.  Has yet to allow HR.
LHP Cesar Cabral:  0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
-----------------------
Trenton (Defeated New Hampshire, 4-2)

C Gary Sanchez:  2-for-5, 2 K
4th consecutive 2-hit game.
2B Robert Refsnyder:  1-for-4, RS, BB, 2 SB (4)
He has definitely been raising his game recently.
1B Kyle Roller:  3-for-5, 2B (5), RBI, RS, K
The next Ted Williams is up to .407 (22-for-54) with 12 XBH.
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-4, BB, CS (1)
Perhaps it is just wishful thinking on my part that there is bust out potential here - looks more like bust potential right now.
OF Ben Gamel:  1-for-5, K
3B Rob Segedin: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB
Now has 15 walks (only 8 Ks) in 17 games.
OF Taylor Dugas:  1-for-2, RBI, 2 BB, K
.286/.375/.460 in 19 games.   .460 SLG?    Dugas is supposed to be the type of player that would struggle to reach a .460 SLG if you added 2 seasons together.
IF Ali Castillo:  1-for-4, RBI, K

LHP Manny Banuelos:  3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
As he moves his way up the ladder....Yankees likely just couldn't wait anymore for the northeast to warm up.
RHP Joel De La Cruz (W, 3-2):  4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, HR
The key for him is the ground ball; 2.54 GO/AO in 2012; 2.48 in 2013; 2.47 entering this game in 2014.
Switch Pat Venditte:  0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Branden Pinder (S, 2):  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Scoreless streak reaches 11 with 10/1 K/BB ratio.
------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Dunedin, 4-1)

3B Dante Bichette:  2-for-4
Been slumping a tad lately, but still hitting .313.   Of course, whenever he goes into any kind of slump, "Here we go again" will instantly pop in your mind - and it should, given his history.
3B Eric Jagielo:  0-for-3, BB, K
.239, though he does have nine walks in last 10 games.
C/RF Pete O'Brien:  1-for-4, 3B (1), RS, K
For O'Brien, hitting a triple requires some sort of event in the outfield.
CF Jake Cave:  0-for-4, 2 K
2B Angelo Gumbs:  0-for-4
.280/.295/.333 in 93 AB

RHP Eric Ruth (L, 2-1):  5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
3.54 ERA in 21.1 IP with 16 hits allowed, five walks, and 20 strikeouts.  First professional start after 23 relief appearances - I assume he only started because Banuelos was pushed up to Double-A.
LHP Dietrich Enns: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K
1.20 ERA in 15 IP with nine hits allowed, seven walks, and 13 strikeouts.
----------------------------
Charleston (Defeated Augusta, 8-4)

OF Aaron Judge:  3-for-4, HR (2), RBI, 2 RS
He is beginning to make a mockery of this level.   Up to .354.  15-for-35 surge.  
3B Miguel Andujar:  3-for-4, 2 2B (6), 3 RBI, 2 RS
After a slow start, he has worked his average up to .263.  He doesn't turn 20 until NEXT spring.
SS Tyler Wade:  2-for-4, 2B (4), 2 RBI, BB
19-year old has worked his average up to .303.  Turns 20 after the season.
2B Gosuke Katoh:  1-for-4, 3B (3), RBI, RS
Still only hitting .180, but on a 5-game hitting streak (one hit per game).  Turns 20 after the season.
OF Michael O'Neill:  0-for-4, RS, 2 K
36 Ks in 23 games.
UTIL John Murphy:  2-for-4, RS, K, SB (4)
Hitting pretty well (.296 in 16 games)  Drafted last year as a SS, Murphy has been playing regularly at several positions - he has covered first, second, short, third, and left field.  
1B Mike Ford:  0-for-2, RS, 2 BB

RHP Brady Lail (W, 3-1):  7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
4.05 ERA in 26.2 IP with 32 hits allowed, five walks, and 20 strikeouts.  Drafted out of high school in 2012, Lail is considered to be a bit of a sleeper.   He pitched to a 2.92 ERA in 61.2 IP last season with an impressive 56/8 K/BB ratio.    20 years old.
