Scranton (Defeated Pawtucket, 5-3, in 10 innings)
OF Adonis Garcia: 2-for-4, HR (2), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
2B Jose Pirela: 3-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB
Suddenly up over .300 (.303). He is 23-for-59 in May (.390)
1B/OF Ramon Flores: 1-for-4, RBI, BB
1B Kyle Roller: 2-for-3, 2B (2), RBI, BB, SF
Roller has generated a lot of talk, mostly because of the insane power numbers (19 XBH in 112 AB this season) he has generated. There are a few problems, the main one being his complete lack of a position. The second one being that he comes with a bit of a reputation for being a dead fastball hitter who has trouble adjusting to breaking pitches. I am not one to ignore the numbers, but we shouldn't get too carried away. I don't think he has the raw plus-plus power of a Pete O'Brien, though (on the plus side), he does walk a lot more than O'Brien does.
SS Dean Anna: 0-for-4, RBI, K
IF Corban Joseph: 0-for-4, K
UTIL Zelous Wheeler: 0-for-3, HBP
RHP Joel De La Cruz: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 4/5 GO/AO
51.2 IP, 46 H, 20 R, 17 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 27 K
Very much rare type of outing for De La Cruz, who typically relies on an extreme ground ball rate without a strong strikeout rate. But the results are what ultimately matter.
RHP Mark Montgomery: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
2.25 ERA; 20 IP, 11 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 24 K
If reports I have read are accurate, it appears that Montgomery has become a slider-happy reliever without the fastball he possessed two years ago.
RHP Jim Miller: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
RHP Diego Moreno (S, 1): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Has a 23/8 K/BB ratio over 20.1 IP.
--------------------------------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Harrisburg, 6-4)
C/RF Pete O'Brien: 2-for-4, 2B (2), HR (6), 4 RBI, 2 RS
This is getting ridiculous. O'Brien has six home runs in nine games with Trenton and 16 home runs in 39 games overall. He has also hit 11 doubles and 28 of his 47 hits on the season have gone for extra bases. Wow.
C Gary Sanchez: 1-for-4, RS, K
Robert Refsnyder pinch ran for him late. I hope it was just a baseball strategy move and nothing else.
1B/RF Tyler Austin: 1-for-2, 2 BB, K
CF Slade Heathcott: 0-for-3, RBI, BB, 2 K
CF Mason Williams: 0-for-3, BB, K
Heathcott played center tonight; Williams played right.
OF Taylor Dugas: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, K
Dugas has essentially forced his way into the everyday lineup.
2B Robert Refsnyder: 0-for-0, RS
3B Rob Segedin: 1-for-4, 2B (3), RS
4-for-34 slide, though he does have seven walks in that time frame.
RHP Jairo Heredia: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
2.88 ERA; 25 IP, 23 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 6 BB, 30 K
Second start of the season. I am not sure if the Yankees are putting him back in the starting role, or if this was more of an emergency type of deal. (Heredia has always been a starter - started in 13 of the 14 games he appeared in last season)
LHP Cesar Cabral: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
As a left-handed reliever, anything is possible - but his recent meltdown puts him way back in line.
RHP Manny Barreda (W, 3-0): 2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
2.25 ERA; 24 IP, 19 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 11 BB, 22 K
RHP Taylor Garrison (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
-------------------------------------
Tampa (Defeated Palm Beach, 2-0. They only allowed one hit in the game)
CF Jake Cave: 1-for-4, 2B (9), RS, K
The thing to watch with Cave as he develops is whether or not all of the doubles and triples he hits become home runs as he moves up the chain. Last year, he hit 37 doubles and six triples to go along with his two home runs.
SS Cito Culver: 0-for-1, 3 BB
Any pitcher who walks Cito Culver three times should be instantly released. OK, in all seriousness, Culver is hitting a tad better as of late (7-for-23 with five walks in last five games)
1B Greg Bird: 0-for-4, K
12-for-40
3B Eric Jagielo: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
3B Dante Bichette: 0-for-4, 2 K
2B Angelo Gumbs: 0-for-1, 2 BB
LHP Dan Camarena (W, 3-3): 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
2.47 ERA; 47.1 IP, 46 H, 24 R, 13 ER, 3 HR, 16 BB, 38 K
2.47 ERA; 47.1 IP, 46 H, 24 R, 13 ER, 3 HR, 16 BB, 38 K
The unearned runs may pop out at you, but five of those came in his opening start of the season. Camarena is pitching extremely well right now, and is one of those "pitchability" prospects this organization covets. He throws a fastball that can touch the low 90s with a curve and change that are already plus pitches. He has also been working on a slider. 20th round pick out of high school a few years ago. Overall, this is not a pitcher you are going to see lighting up the scoreboard or showing up on Baseball America Top 100 lists. Flashy, he is not. But he certainly does not need to be.
LHP Dietrich Enns: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
1.61 ERA; 22.1 IP, 15 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 9 BB, 21 K.
LHP James Pezos (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
3.66 ERA; 19.2 IP, 17 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 5 BB, 24 K
Enns and Pezos (along with guys like Trenton's Ty Webb) are the next in line of left-handed relievers for the Yankees to eventually try out. As great as they have been at discovering and developing right-handed relief talent, finding those left-handed relievers has been a bit more tricky.
---------------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Savannah, 6-0, managing only two hits in the process)
In case you are wondering about what happened to Abiatal Avelino, I decided I was tired of typing up that name every night. Actually, he is on the disabled list.
OF Aaron Judge: 1-for-4, 2B (6), 2 K
SS Tyler Wade: 1-for-3, BB, K
.265/.333/.331. 16 walks and 43 strikeouts in 37 games.
3B Miguel Andujar: 0-for-3
OF Michael O'Neill: 0-for-4
1B Mike Ford: 0-for-4, K
CF Brandon Thomas: 0-for-3
2B Gosuke Katoh: 0-for-3, 2 K
Katoh has done a decent job drawing walks, but little else. Unless he starts hitting soon, he could be starting for Staten Island in a month.
LHP Ian Clarkin (L, 1-1): 4 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 HR
Stop watching tapes of 2013 and 2014 CC Sabathia, kid! First official drubbing as a professional. 19.2 IP, 19 H, 10 R, 8 ER, 4 BB, 20 K, 3 HR
RHP Jordan Cote: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
3.31 ERA; 16.1 IP, 19 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 14 K
