Yankees Minor League Report 5/11/14: Pete O'Brien Hits 2 HR, Ben Gamel Drives Home 5 in Trenton Rout

Scranton (Defeated Durham, 2-1, in 11 innings)

UTIL Zelous Wheeler:  1-for-3, HR (2), RBI, RS, K
.338/.400/.529 in 68 AB for the 26-year old journeyman.
OF Zoilo Almonte:  2-for-5, RBI
.273/.326/.469 in 128 AB.  4-for-34 vs. LHP
1B/OF Ramon Flores:  1-for-5, RS, K
.262/.374/.434 in 122 AB.
1B Kyle Roller:  1-for-4, K
1-for-10 since promotion
2B Jose Pirela:  1-for-4, K, CS (1)
IF Scott Sizemore:  1-for-5, 2 K
.276/.333/.368 in 76 AB
SS Dean Anna:  0-for-4, BB, 2 K

RHP Eric Ruth:  5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
Called up from Tampa to make emergency start since Chase Whitley was scratched (rumor is he was scratched because the Yankees are promoting him).   Had a 4.44 ERA in 24.1 IP for Tampa.  Likely was called up for no other reason than he was the freshest arm they could find.
RHP Diego Moreno:  2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
Not much to get excited about, as Moreno is primarily just a fastball guy.  Not bad for minor league depth, though.
RHP Mark Montgomery:  1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
1.53 ERA; 17.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 10 BB, 20 K.  Again, the walks are too high - but he remains very effective regardless.
RHP Branden Pinder (W, 1-0):  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
19 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 19 K between Trenton/Scranton as he has seriously put himself back on the prospect map.  Supposedly lost his slider last year - I assume it has come back.
------------------------------------
Trenton (Destroyed Reading, 15-0)
First off, Trenton ended up losing the suspended game from yesterday, 4-3, in 14 innings.  Pat Venditte allowed in the winning run, which was unearned)

C/RF Pete O'Brien:  2-for-5, 2 HR (3), 5 RBI, 2 RS
In 127 AB between Tampa and Trenton, he has a .315/.343/.717 line with 13 home runs.    He caught today, as Gary Sanchez didn't get to enjoy the run parade.
OF Ben Gamel: 2-for-5, 2B (7), HR (1), 5 RBI, 2 RS
.295/.337/.385 in 156 AB.  The question remains whether or not he can develop beyond his projection as a backup OF.
2B Robert Refsnyder:  3-for-5, 2B (7), 3B (2), 2 RS
.281/.343/.438 in 128 AB.  13-for-42 (.310) in May.
OF Taylor Dugas: 4-for-5, 2 2B (7), 2 RBI, 3 RS
.318/.431/.506 in 85 AB for the 5'9" left-handed hitter.   He is 24 years old, and has never displayed this type of extra base power.  11 XBH in 26 games this year; 17 in 113 games last year.
1B/OF Tyler Austin: 1-for-5, RS, K
.262/.352/.344 in 61 AB
3B Rob Segedin: 1-for-4, RS, K
.275/.397/.441 in 102 AB
C/1B Tyson Blaser:  3-for-5, 2B (1), 2 RS, K
Non-prospect simply gets an honorable mention for today's game.

LHP Matt Tracy (W, 4-2):  7 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
4.79 ERA; 35.2 IP, 40 H, 3 HR, 20 BB, 23 K, 1.69 GO/AO.  By far his most impressive outing of the season.
---------------------------
Charleston (Defeated Savannah, 3-1)

2B/SS Tyler Wade:  2-for-3, 3B (2), RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
Up to .281 in 121 AB. 
OF Aaron Judge: 1-for-3, BB
OF Michael O'Neill: 1-for-4
3B Miguel Andujar:  0-for-4, K, E (10)
Down to .198 on the season.
2B Gosuke Katoh:  0-for-2, RS, BB, K, SB (9)
Drawing some walks, but hitting .191.
UTIL John Murphy: 0-for-4
CF Mikeson Oliberto:  1-for-2, 2B (4), 2 RBI

RHP Brady Lail (W, 5-1):  6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K
3.58 ERA; 37.2 IP, 42 H, 18 R, 15 ER, 6 BB, 33 K.   After a slow start, has allowed five runs in last 23 innings.
RHP Jordan Cote:  1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Cesar Vargas (S, 1):  1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
