Yankees Minor League Report 5/28/14: Scranton's Offense Remains Hot; Pete O'Brien Hits Grand Slam in Trenton Loss

Scranton (Defeated Louisville, 6-5.  They were behind 5-0 entering the 8th inning.  Scranton knocked out 15 hits in this game, giving them 55 in the 3-game series.)

UTIL Zelous Wheeler:  1-for-4, GS (4), 4 RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
Grand slam came in the top of the 9th inning with Scranton down, 5-2.  
C Austin Romine:  2-for-4, 2 K
Now hitting .226 thanks to a 17-for-56 month of May. (He was a dreadful 4-for-37 in April)
1B Kyle Roller:  2-for-4, 2 RS, 2 K, HBP
Most don't see him as much of a prospect - and I am one of those people.  You still cannot deny the offensive season he is putting together, however.  
1B/OF Ramon Flores:  1-for-4, BB, K
1B Russ Canzler:  3-for-5, 2 RBI
2B Corban Joseph:  2-for-4, BB, K
8-for-27 in May.
OF Adonis Garcia:  1-for-4, RS, HBP

Back over .200 (.202)
IF Scott Sizemore:  1-for-5, RS, K

4.75 ERA; 60.2 IP, 74 H, 36 R, 32 ER, 24 BB, 42 K
Doing his job as a 35-year old minor league veteran signed just to fill in the gaps.
RHP Danny Burawa:  0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Everybody gives up a run eventually.   1.17 ERA; 15.1 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 8 BB, 20 K
RHP Robert Coello:  0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
0.50 ERA; 18 IP, 11 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 25 K
Hey, I just want to see him in the majors so he can throw his "WTF" pitch. 
RHP Jim Miller (W, 4-1);  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
-----------------------------
Trenton (Lost to Reading, 9-6, in 12 innings)

C/RF Pete O'Brien:  1-for-4, GS (9), 4 RBI, 2 BB, K
What is more amazing, the grand slam or the two walks?    Now has 19 home runs and 42 RBI in 185 AB this season, with six walks and 45 strikeouts.
2B Robert Refsnyder:  3-for-5, 3B (4), RBI, RS, BB
All the way up to .304.  15 hits in last 36 AB and 33-for-98 in May.
C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-5, HR (6), RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
Showing more and more signs of breaking out of bad slump from earlier this month.
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-6, RS, SB (10)
Showing mild improvement recently.  Stealing bases at a high percentage, hitting a tad better, and drawing some walks.  Still a long way to go.
1B/OF Tyler Austin: 1-for-6, RS, 2 K
OF Ben Gamel:  1-for-5, 2B (13), BB, K, SB (5)
OF Taylor Dugas:  1-for-5, 2 K

RHP Eric Ruth:  4.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
42.1 IP, 38 H, 23 R, 21 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 34 K between Tampa/Trenton/Scranton for the 23-year old non-drafted free agent signee last year.
LHP Cesar Cabral:  1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
It is going to take a lot of appearances like this to get near the circle of trust again.   This improved his K/BB ratio to an ultra-ugly 15/15 in 11.2 IP.
LHP Fred Lewis:  2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 1 K
Like Cabral, he has pretty much fallen off of a cliff.  Has a 12/10 K/BB ratio over 15.1 IP this season.
LHP Francisco Rondon (L, 0-1):  1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, HR, 1 BB, 2 K
---------------
Tampa (Lost to Bradenton, 3-0.  Tampa had only two hits.  They faced strikeout machine Tyler Glasnow, who now has 37 strikeouts in 32.2 IP this year after striking out 164 in 111.1 IP last year.  Dude is a 6'7" RHP)

1B Greg Bird:  1-for-4, 2 K
.278/.384/.472 in 72 AB with 13 walks and 21 strikeouts
CF Jake Cave:  0-for-3, BB, K, SB (7)

OF Danny Oh:  0-for-2, BB, K, SB (1)

LHP Conner Kendrick (L, 1-2):  4.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

2.92 ERA; 24.2 IP, 19 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 6 BB, 32 K
All nine runs allowed came in April (11.1 IP).  No runs allowed in 13.1 IP in May with 18/2 K/BB ratio.
---------------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Greenville, 7-5)

C Eduardo de Oleo: 1-for-3, GS (5), 4 RBI, RS
The 21-year old has five home runs in 70 AB, but has done nothing else worthwhile.  Not much of a prospect, anyway.
OF Aaron Judge:  1-for-4, RBI, RS, 2 K
OF Dustin Fowler:  1-for-4, 2B (2), RS
9-for-41 (.220)
SS Tyler Wade:  0-for-4, 2 K

1B Mike Ford:  0-for-2, RS, BB, HBP
2B Gosuke Katoh:  0-for-3, K
OF Brandon Thomas:  0-for-3, 3 K
15-for-100 with 33 Ks.  4-for-31 slide, though who am I kidding?  15-for-100 IS the slide.

RHP Brady Lail:  5 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, HR
3.19 ERA; 53.2 IP, 61 H, 23 R, 19 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 54 K
Gives up his share of hits, but keeps it in the park and has a nice K/BB rate as well.
RHP Jordan Cote:  2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
5.32 ERA; 22 IP, 28 H, 14 R, 13 ER, 1 HR, 9 BB, 18 K
21-year old drafted out of high school in 2001 came into 2014 with limited experience. (55.2 IP in two seasons combined)
