Yankees Minor League Report 7/19/14: Luis Severino Impresses in Trenton Debut; Caleb Smith Impresses in Tampa Debut; Tyler Wade Collects Four Hits

Scranton (Lost to Charlotte, 7-0)

2B/RF Robert Refsnyder:  0-for-4, K
He has obviously been hot most of the year, but is now 2-for-14 since ASB, dropping his average below .300 at this level.  He did take a turn in RF today.
UTIL Jose Pirela:  0-for-3, BB, K
1-for-13 since ASB.  Played 2B tonight.
OF Taylor Dugas:  1-for-3
OF Zoilo Almonte:  0-for-4, 2 K
UTIL Adonis Garcia:  1-for-4, K
1B Kyle Roller:  0-for-3, 2 K

LHP Nik Turley (L, 0-2):  5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, HR
6.14 ERA; 22 IP, 22 H, 16 R, 15 ER, 16 BB, 18 K, 5 HR
Just remember how late he got his season going.  He is essentially in spring training mode.
LHP Rich Hill:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Debut with the franchise
RHP Joel De La Cruz:  2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
-------------------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Binghamton, 6-1)

3B Rob Segedin:  2-for-3, BB
He has battled injuries, he was ineffective in 2012, etc.  But wow, he has hit very well this season - showing off some discipline and decent doubles power (especially lately).  When you have a black hole as big as the one at third base in the Bronx, you look for anyone who may be able to help.    Now 16-for-37 in last ten games
1B/3B/OF Tyler Austin:  2-for-4, 2B (12), 3 RS, BB
A brief post-ASB spurt (6-for-11) has raised his average to .260.  Obviously, needs to show more than just 11 AB worth of hitting.
C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-5, K
CF Jake Cave:  0-for-3, 2 BB, K
2-for-11 with four walks since joining level
CF Mason Williams:  0-for-4, 2 RS, BB
Played CF tonight; Cave DH'd.
OF Ben Gamel:  1-for-5

RHP Luis Severino (W, 1-0):  5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
There are some legitimate questions on whether the Yankees rushed him here - but if he throws like this, he will justify the situation for them.
LHP James Pazos:  2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
21.1 IP, 16 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 8 BB, 23 K since promotion.
----------------------------------------
Tampa (Defeated Palm Beach, 5-0)

1B Greg Bird:  2-for-4, 2 2B (21), 2 RBI, RS, BB
The doubles are providing most of his power thus far this year, but there is nothing really wrong with that.  Hopefully the home runs will start coming.
3B Eric Jagielo:  1-for-4, 2B (9), 3 RBI, 2 K
35 RBI in 46 games at this level.
3B Dante Bichette:  0-for-4, 3 K
20-game hitting streak snapped
OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-4
Back over .300 here (.303) in 99 AB
SS Cito Culver:  1-for-4, 2 RS, BB
The only thing that keeps him on this list is the fact that his defense supposedly has remained excellent as the hitting has gone south.
2B Angelo Gumbs:  0-for-4, 2 K

LHP Caleb Smith (W, 1-0):  6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
High-A debut.   Had a 3.10 ERA with 80/35 K/BB ratio over 78.1 IP for Charleston.  Not what you would consider a top prospect, but watch him closely as he moves up the chain.
RHP Taylor Garrison:  2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
First appearance at High-A this season.  Trent Garrison (who went 3-for-4 tonight) was the catcher, making this a brother-to-brother battery.   That is pretty cool.
------------------------
Charleston (Defeated Augusta, 9-7)

SS Tyler Wade:  4-for-5, 2B (14), 2 RBI, RS
Up to .275.
3B Miguel Andujar:  2-for-5, RBI, 2 RS, 2 K
A 32-for-92 post-ASB splurge has raised his average up to .250. 
OF Mark Payton:  0-for-2, 3 RS, 3 BB
13-for-38 with nine walks in 12 games.  Pretty much, he needs to draw plenty of walks if he wants to become a legitimate option.
2B Gosuke Katoh:  1-for-4, RS
OF Michael O'Neill:  2-for-5, 2B (17), 2 RBI, K, SB (28)
C Jackson Valera:  2-for-4, 2 RBI, BB

LHP Chaz Hebert:  3.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 3 K
Obviously used a lot of voodoo to get through this outing unscathed.
RHP Angel Rincon (S, 2):  3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
Love these rulebook saves - still nothing like the Rangers pitcher who earned a save in Baltimore during a game in which Texas scored 30 or so runs, of course.
--------------------------
Staten Island (Defeated Jamestown, 7-1)

C Luis Torrens:  1-for-4, RS
.375 (24-for-64) at this level.
C Isaias Tejada:  3-for-4, 2 2B (10), 2 RBI, RS
Put himself on the map in 2011, but has fallen off of it since then.  Having a strong season here thus far.
OF Austin Aune:  1-for-4, RBI, RS, 2 K
2B/3B Ty McFarland:  2-for-4, RBI, RS, SB (2), CS (1)
As I have said previously, he is doing what a college draftee should do here.  Tough for him to move off of this level right now, with Katoh and Andujar in Charleston, so he will hopefully just continue to rake here and move his way up the chain from there.  (Note that McFarland is not a big prospect - just a potential fast tracker who can play second and third, bats left-handed, etc.). 
1B/OF Chris Breen:  1-for-3, RBI, RS, K
.276/.386/.495 in 105 AB for the 20-year old.
OF Nathan Mikolas:  0-for-4, RS, K
1B Bubba Jones:  1-for-3, RBI

RHP Sean Carley:  3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
10 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
RHP Dillon McNamara (W, 1-1):  3.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
3.27 ERA; 22 IP, 20 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 4 BB, 16 K
RHP Matt Wotherspoon: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Rony Bautista:  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
1.62 ERA; 16.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 12 BB, 19 K
