Yankees Minor League Report 5/26/14: Ramon Flores Hits Two Home Runs as Scranton Bangs Out 24 Hits; Gary Sanchez Has 4-Hit Day for Trenton

Scranton (Crushed Louisville, 15-8)

1B/OF Ramon Flores:  3-for-6, 2 HR (5), 2 RBI, 4 RS, BB
.267/.356/.461 in 180 AB.  
2B Jose Pirela:  3-for-7, 2 RS, SB (5)
.304/.337/.423.   18-for-41 in last ten games (.439).  Hitting .365 in May overall.
1B Kyle Roller:  4-for-4, 2 2B (4), RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB
Jumps average from .229 to .288 since joining level.   .346/.431/.692 in 130 AB overall.
UTIL Zelous Wheeler: 4-for-6, HR (3), 3 RBI, RS
.299/.349/.462 in 117 AB.
OF Adonis Garcia: 2-for-7, 2 RBI, 2 RS, K, SB (9)
.306/.333/.435 in 170 AB for 29-year old.  He is showing a reverse split, hitting much better vs. RHP than LHP, but sample size could be in play there.
IF Scott Sizemore:  2-for-6
1B Russ Canzler:  3-for-4, 2B (9), 2 RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB
.264/.336/.395
C Austin Romine: 1-for-5, 2 RBI, BB
Hitting .198 overall but is 13-for-49 (.265) in May.
OF Antoan Richardson:  2-for-4, 2 RS, BB, K, SB (13)
.257/.398/.327 in 101 AB.  Perfect 13-for-13 stealing.

RHP Shane Greene (W, 2-2):  5 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HR
We like to refer to this as the "Jack Morris". 
5.65 ERA; 28.2 IP, 42 H, 22 R, 18 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 25 K
RHP Danny Burawa:  2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
14.2 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 8 BB, 20 K
Just an awesome start to the season for Burawa.
-----------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Richmond, 13-9.  They were down 6-1 after four innings.  They scored 12 of the 13 runs from the 5th inning on)

C Gary Sanchez:  4-for-6, 2B (10), 2 RBI, RS
Second 4-hit game in his last three starts.  Hitting .259/.326/.414.
C/RF Pete O'Brien: 1-for-2, HR (8), 2 RBI, RS
Did not start the game - came in to pinch hit for Taylor Dugas and promptly hit a 2-run home run.   Hitting .299/.321/.684 between Tampa/Trenton with 18 home runs and 38 runs batted in.
2B Robert Refsnyder: 2-for-4, 2B (11), RBI, 2 RS, BB
13-for-38 in last ten games; 30-for-93 in May.  The Yankees should give at least some consideration to moving him up - and I am not just saying to Scranton.
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB
.202/.307/.272 in 173 AB; appears that something or someone has lit a bit of a fire under him.  He has walked six times in his last five games and has hit safely in four of his last five games.  This isn't much - but it is better than where he was before.
1B/RF Tyler Austin:  1-for-4, 2 RBI, BB, CS (1)
.239/.317/.321 in 109 AB.    Rare CS, as it represents only the third of his career (he has stolen 47 bases)
OF Ben Gamel:  3-for-6, 2 RBI, RS, SB (4)
.278/.314/.368; 4-for-7 stealing.  
3B Rob Segedin:  0-for-2, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 3 BB, K, SF
.243/.381/.375 in 144 AB as he continues to draw a high number of walks (28)
OF Taylor Dugas:  0-for-3, K
.274/.393/.410.  First slump of the season (5-for-32)
UTIL Dan Fiorito:  3-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, 3 RS

RHP Caleb Cotham:  3.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
5th round pick in 2009 out of Vanderbilt was destroyed by injuries.
RHP Manny Barreda (W, 4-0):  2.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HR
2.76 ERA; 29.1 IP, 23 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 3 HR, 15 BB, 29 K
LHP Francisco Rondon:  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
2014 debut for 26-year old.  Last year, in 33 games (seven starts), he posted a 3.92 ERA with an ugly 85/54 K/BB ratio in 82.2 IP.    It should be noted that a lot of messy stuff came as a starter.  In those seven starts for Trenton (all at the beginning of 2013 before being converted back), he posted a 7.16 ERA in 27.2 innings.    Throws a fastball/slider combo, with the fastball clocked in the 91-93 range.
LHP Fred Lewis:  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Trying to regain value after a dreadful start to the season.
----------------------
Charleston (Lost to Greenville, 11-3.  Charleston drew 9 walks in the game, but couldn't capitalize on opportunities)

SS Tyler Wade:  2-for-4, 2 RS, BB
7-game hitting streak (12-for-31).  Has been hitting very well since Avelino's injury, which gave Wade consistent playing time at shortstop.  It may not be a true cause-and-effect thing...just an interesting note.
OF Aaron Judge: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
OF Dustin Fowler:  0-for-2, 2 BB
8-for-31 with four walks, 12 strikeouts.
1B Mike Ford:  0-for-3, 2 BB
Mailed it in after 4 HR effort yesterday.
OF Michael O'Neill:  1-for-3, 2B (4), RBI, BB, SF
2B Gosuke Katoh:  0-for-3, BB, 2 K
CF Brandon Thomas:  0-for-3, RS, BB, K

LHP Ian Clarkin:  3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
3.97 ERA; 22.2 IP, 23 H, 12 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 6 BB, 22 K
Struggled through this outing.  Took him 71 pitches to get through these three innings.
RHP Giovanny Gallegos:  1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
5.22 ERA; 39.2 IP, 45 H, 28 R, 23 ER, 4 HR, 8 BB, 37 K
Hadn't allowed a run in last three outings (11 IP)
LHP Omar Luis:  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Four outings; two have been strong, two have been not so good.  11 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 8 K
RHP Philip Walby:  1.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 3 K
4.67 ERA; 17.1 IP, 7 H, 11 R, 9 ER, 15 BB, 28 K
It is fairly obvious what Walby's issue is, isn't it?
LHP Rony Bautista:  1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
1.29 ERA; 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
This is a big season for the talented, but raw, Bautista.  He has been around the organization for five years now (22 years old) and his experience has been somewhat limited.  Big fastball, big slider, developing change - but also a 6'7" frame that is attempting to develop more into a pitcher than the raw thrower he once was.
