Yankees Minor League Report 5/24/14: Dante Bichette Stays Hot; Chaz Hebert Makes 2014 Debut; Aaron Judge Homers in Charleston Loss

Scranton (Defeated Rochester, 2-0)

2B Jose Pirela:  1-for-4, 2B (7), RBI
27-for-75 in May
IF Scott Sizemore:  2-for-3, HR (1), RBI, RS
C Austin Romine:  0-for-1, RS, 2 BB
OF Ramon Flores:  0-for-4, K
OF Adonis Garcia:  0-for-3, K
1B Russ Canzler:  1-for-3, 2B (7), K
Has essentially become a non-entity.
SS Dean Anna:  0-for-3

RHP Zach Nuding (W, 2-2):  8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K
Second consecutive strong start after a rough start after his promotion.    25.1 IP, 32 H, 19 R, 17 ER, 3 HR, 6 BB, 21 K overall since promotion.
RHP Jose Ramirez (S, 1):  1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Nothing more exciting than a reliever getting himself into and out of trouble.    I think he will ultimately find himself in the majors relatively soon, but remember:  He missed a large chunk of the beginning of the season due to injury AND he was just converted into a relief pitcher.  It will take a little time.
----------------------------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Richmond, 4-2)

C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-4, 2B (9), RS
Perhaps the slump is over (this follows yesterday's 4-hit performance)
2B Robert Refsnyder:  2-for-4, 3B (3), 2 RS
Average is up to .298 as he continues to rake in May (28-for-85)
OF Ben Gamel:  2-for-5, 2 2B (12), RBI
Not wowing anybody with his season, but not embarrassing himself either.  
3B Rob Segedin:  2-for-4
.243/.368/.371.  He is getting on base very well, but isn't hitting for much power.
OF Slade Heathcott: 0-for-5, K
C/RF Pete O'Brien:  0-for-4
One hit in last 17 AB.  That is one thing about O'Brien's overall approach that gives you hesitation:  When he isn't hitting, he is useless..as he isn't showing the ability to draw walks.
UTIL Dan Fiorito:  2-for-4, RBI, K
OF Taylor Dugas:  0-for-3, RBI, RS, BB, K

RHP Jairo Heredia:  4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, HR
3.10 ERA; 29 IP, 26 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 35 K
Whether or not the Yankees are stretching him out again to start (his last appearance was an emergency start for Banuelos) is up in the air.  Regardless, he is throwing very well this season.
LHP Cesar Cabral:  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Much-needed outing..but is the damage done?
RHP Taylor Garrison (W, 2-1):  2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
2.45 ERA; 25.2 IP, 13 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 11 BB, 15 K
LHP Fred Lewis (S, 2):  0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
---------------------------------------------
Tampa (Split DH with Brevard County, winning 4-1 before losing 8-2)

3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-3, HR (5), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB, SF
.287/.379/.455 in 167 AB with 28 runs batted in.
1B Greg Bird:  2-for-6, HR (3), RBI, RS, K
1B Matt Snyder:  1-for-6, HR (2), RBI, RS, K
OF Zach Wilson:  2-for-6, 3B (3), K
CF Jake Cave:  1-for-7, 2B (11), RS, K
SS Cito Culver: 2-for-7, HR (1), RBI, 2 RS, 2 K, SB (6)
After hitting two home runs in 2010, 2011, and 2012, Culver "busted out" with a nine home run campaign in 2013.  He is back to his old tricks this year, however.
C Wes Wilson:  2-for-3, 2B (1), SB (1)

LHP Dan Camarena (W, 4-3):  6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K
2.36 ERA; 53.1 IP, 48 H, 25 R, 14 ER, 3 HR, 20 BB, 42 K
The walks are a bit high for a kid known for his advanced command (19 in 112 IP last season), but it is hard to find much to nitpick on here.    Hasn't allowed more than two runs in his last five starts, and hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in a start since April 12th, his second start of the season.
RHP Phil Wetherell (S, 2):  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
0.49 ERA: 18.1 IP, 17 H, 7 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 7 BB, 16 K

LHP Chaz Hebert:  4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
2014 debut for the 21-year old Hebert, who went 4-5 with a 5.29 ERA in 51 innings combined for the GCL/Staten Island squads last season.   He has a lot of upside, and has seen his velocity increase, but is still rough around the edges.
RHP Kyle Haynes: 1.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
This is the value on the trade market for an expert "pitch framer" like Chris Stewart.
---------------------
Charleston (Lost to Hickory, 7-3)

OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-4, HR (4), 2 RBI, RS, K
3B Miguel Andujar:  2-for-4, RS
12 hits in last 42 AB
SS Tyler Wade:  1-for-5, K
OF Michael O'Neill:  1-for-3, RS, BB, SB (15)
Has hit safely in six of last seven games (all one-hit affairs)
OF Dustin Fowler:  2-for-4, 2B (1), K
Started off 0-for-12; 5-for-11 since.
CF Brandon Thomas:  0-for-3, BB, 2 K
Hitting an unbelievable .135 in 89 AB.  0-for-20 slump.

RHP Rookie Davis (L, 2-4):  3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
4.93 ERA; 38.1 IP, 42 H, 25 R, 21 ER, 1 HR, 20 BB, 30 K
RHP Jordan Cote:  3.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
4.50 ERA; 20 IP, 24 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 15 K
LHP Rony Bautista:  1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

1B Mike Ford:  0-for-4, K
