In the GCL today, second-round pick Jacob Lindgren made his professional debut, tossing a scoreless inning while allowing a pair of hits. He struck out two. Before people start getting up in arms about the fact that a fast-track college reliever is spending time in the GCL, relax. He was promoted to Charleston after the game and could move quickly from there....Austin DeCarr, drafted in the third round out of high school, also made his debut, tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit with a walk and a strikeout....SS Jorge Mateo showed no mercy towards his fellow Yankees' prospects on the GCL2 squad, collecting a pair of hits while stealing three more bases, giving him nine (!!) in eight games. Mateo is a true 80-speed guy on the 20-80 scouting scale, and just has to be a lot of fun to watch....
------------------
Scranton (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 4-3)
2B Robert Refsnyder: 1-for-2, HR (3), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
Up to .356 (21-for-59) with eight XBH and 13 walks. Second straight game with HR. He is now 15-for-28 with ten walks in last ten games. Need me to say more? OK, his nine total HR are a career high (hit six last year)
UTIL Jose Pirela: 2-for-4, BB
Was struggling a little bit recently, but is still 38-for-110 in June.
C John Ryan Murphy: 1-for-5, RS, K
As much as he is loved (myself included), he is hitting only .228 here (13-for-57) this season without a walk.
OF Zoilo Almonte: 1-for-5, 2B (10), RS, 3 K
1B Kyle Roller: 2-for-2, RS, 2 BB
If only he could play a position - even though I don't see him as a big prospect, he is hitting a ton this season. But there is no room for him in the big leagues to even see if you can catch lightning in a bottle.
IF Scott Sizemore: 1-for-5, 2B (12), 2 RBI, 2 K
OF Taylor Dugas: 1-for-4
Has been playing a lot of CF since his promotion (which again is likely more related to the fact that Scranton doesn't have a true CF than anything else)
RHP Chris Leroux (W, 1-2): 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Switch Pat Venditte: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
Free Pat Venditte! Free Pat Venditte! PLEAAASSEEEEE Free Pat Venditte!
RHP Danny Burawa: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.54 ERA; 28 IP, 25 H, 11 R, 11 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 37 K
RHP Matt Daley (S, 7): 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
32 K in 21 IP.
----------------------
Trenton (Lost to Erie, 3-1)
1B/3B/RF Tyler Austin: 1-for-3, HR (3), RBI, K
Slight signs of life (hits in six of his last seven games, including three doubles and a homer), but is still not quite on a roll.
C Gary Sanchez: 0-for-4, K
C/1B Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, 2 K
Down to .218 in Trenton with 47 strikeouts in 46 games. He has pretty much become home run or nothing at the moment, with a lot of nothing.
CF Mason Williams: 1-for-4
6-for-36 in last ten games
OF Ben Gamel: 0-for-3, BB, K
LHP Matt Tracy: 5 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
3.49 ERA; 77.1 IP, 88 H, 33 R, 30 ER, 3 HR, 31 BB, 45 K for Trenton
RHP Nick Goody (L, 0-1): 0.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
2.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K since promotion
LHP Cesar Cabral: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
--------------------------
Tampa (Defeated Dunedin, 5-2)
OF Aaron Judge: 2-for-3, 2 RS, BB, K
As was the case earlier this year in Charleston, the power is taking a bit of time to come (three XBH, none of which are homers, in 34 AB), but he does have eight walks.
1B Greg Bird: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, 1 K
28 walks in 46 games.
CF Jake Cave: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 K
2B Angelo Gumbs: 2-for-3, 2B (9), RBI, 2 RS
SS Cito Culver: 0-for-4, K
OF Yeicok Calderon: 1-for-4, 2B (10), RBI, K
10 doubles in 20 games. That is quite the pace.
1B Matt Snyder: 2-for-4, 2 RBI
UTIL Jose Rosario: 3-for-4, CS (3)
21-for-64 for the 22-year old since his promotion. Hitting well this year...but for the first time since 2011.
LHP CC Sabathia: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Weight concerns will probably keep him from ever becoming a top flight pitcher, but he may contribute as a swingman some day.
RHP Rafael DePaula (W, 4-5): 5.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
4.86 ERA; 66.2 IP, 73 H, 39 R, 36 ER, 4 HR, 30 BB, 82 K
Second consecutive outing not allowing a run over 5.2 innings. Seems to have bounced back nicely after two horrendous starts.
RHP Cesar Vargas (S, 3): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
41 IP, 34 H, 15 R, 12 ER, 1 HR, 10 BB, 43 K between Charleston/Tampa
-----------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Kannapolis, 4-3)
SS Tyler Wade: 1-for-5, 2B (11), RBI, RS, K
Hitting streak is up to seven.
OF Dustin Fowler: 1-for-4
2-for-17 mini slide.
2B Gosuke Katoh: 2-for-4, 2B (10), K
12-for-36 (.333) in last ten games.
3B Miguel Andujar: 0-for-4, 3 K
1B Mike Ford: 1-for-3, BB, SB (1)
UTIL John Murphy: 1-for-3, RS, K
OF Brandon Thomas: 0-for-1, RS, 2 BB
.146 with 54 K in 50 games. Perhaps the best strategy is to go up to the plate with no intention to swing and hope you can get a walk out of it.
LHP Caleb Smith: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
3.36 ERA; 64.1 IP, 52 H, 27 R, 24 ER, 4 HR, 27 BB, 68 K
Second straight start where he was pulled a bit early. This tells me they are possibly slowing him down. Threw 51.1 professional innings last year.
LHP Omar Luis: 2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR
6.14 ERA; 29.1 IP, 31 H, 22 R, 20 ER, 23 BB, 21 K, 4 HR
They need to invest in as much young Cuban talent as possible!
RHP Angel Rincon: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
4.81 ERA; 24.1 IP, 22 H, 15 R, 13 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 20 K
----------------------------
Staten Island
1B/OF Chris Breen: 2-for-3, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, K
There is some pop in the 20-year old's bat somewhere...we'll see if he can develop it.
SS Thairo Estrada: 1-for-3, RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (7)
Had a very slow start to his campaign, but has picked it up considerably (13-for-35 after 0-for-14 start)
C Luis Torrens: 1-for-3, 3B (1), 2 RS, BB
First professional triple (64 games)
CF Devyn Bolasky: 3-for-6, 2 2B (2), 2 RS, CS (1)
OF Austin Aune: 1-for-4, 2B (4), 2 RS, BB, 2 K, SB (2)
Hitting pretty well lately, but has a LOT to prove if he wants to jump back on the radar.
2B/3B Ty McFarland: 2-for-5, 2B (5), 2 RBI
22-year old is hitting .313. I could see him getting to Charleston this year, but Katoh (2B) and Andujar (3B) currently take up his two positions.
C Isaias Tejada: 1-for-1, 2B (5), 4 RBI, 2 SF, BB
9-for-28 on the season. Not nearly the prospect Torrens is (and that is an understatement), but at one time, he looked like he had a chance to be the next one in line.
1B Bubba Jones: 1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, RS, BB, K
RHP Andy Beresford: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
11.2 IP, 10 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 1 BB, 8 K
LHP Rony Bautista (W, 1-0): 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
RHP Manolo Reyes: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
Advanced age (24), but little experience (16th professional game). There supposedly is some talent here, and relievers can come late. He will obviously need to start making his way up the chain soon, though.
RHP Conor Mullee: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
7 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 10 K
There was a time when he supposedly could really light up the radar gun - then he had Tommy John in 2011, missing the entire season. Last year, he only threw in six games so the intrigue over his arm has worn off a bit.
