Yankees Minor League Report 7/26/14: Jake Cave Has Huge Night in Trenton; Tyler Wade Collects 4 Hits; Pete O'Brien Hits #31; Miguel Andujar Homers

Scranton (Lost to Pawtucket, 8-5)

C John Ryan Murphy:  2-for-4, 2 RBI, K
11-for-35 in last ten games.  Seems to be past his slump now.
2B/RF Robert Refsnyder:  0-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
10-for-44 since ASB with four walks and 12 strikeouts
UTIL Jose Pirela:  1-for-4, RS, BB, K
6-for-38 since ASB
OF Zoilo Almonte:  0-for-4, BB, 3 K
C/1B Austin Romine:  1-for-4, BB
19-for-55 in July
3B Rob Segedin:  0-for-4, 2 K
5-for-23 since joining level.
UTIL Adonis Garcia:  2-for-3, 2B (16), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB
He is older (29), and is mostly an OF who has played some third base recently.  I don't think the Yankees see much here, but he does have more defensive value than Ronnier Mustelier did.    By the way, for those wondering (and potential those who cursed out the Yankees for not giving Mustelier a chance), he is currently playing in the Mexican League.
SS Carmen Angelini:  2-for-4, RS, K

RHP Bruce Billings wasn't any good.  The end.
LHP Jeremy Bleich (L, 0-4):  2.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR
8.37 ERA; 23.2 IP, 29 H, 23 R, 22 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 20 K
There was potential here (as a reliever, at the very least) before his dreaded shoulder injury.
RHP Edgmer Escalona:  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
If there is 40-man room in September, this guy will probably get called up.  Not because he is special in any way, shape, or form - just the type of disposal arm you sometimes see in September.
--------------------------------------------
Trenton (Lost to Binghamton, 10-7)

CF Jake Cave:  4-for-5, 2B (4), 2 3B (2), 3 RS, BB
Just like that, his .200 average since joining the level jumps to .286.  
1B/3B/OF Tyler Austin:  4-for-4, 2 RBI, BB
18-for-40 since the ASB
C Gary Sanchez:  3-for-6, RBI, RS
The power has pretty much disappeared during his 11-game hitting streak, but not much to complain about at this point.
C/1B Pete O'Brien: 2-for-5, HR (21), 2 RBI, RS, K
31st home run of the season.
OF Ben Gamel:  2-for-6, 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
.282 in 425 AB with 41 RBI and 52 runs scored.
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-4, BB

RHP Jaron Long:  5 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HR
Hasn't had many clunkers this season - this certainly qualifies.
LHP James Pazos:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K
2.74 ERA; 49.1 IP, 40 H, 17 R, 15 ER, 0 HR, 18 BB, 58 K between Tampa/Trenton
RHP Diego Moreno:  1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
--------------------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Ft. Myers, 8-6 in 11 innings)

3B Eric Jagielo:  2-for-4, 2 RBI, RS, K
.245/.321/.464 in 196 AB
Pulled early - but not because he was dealt for Edwin Jackson.  He was ejected after striking out.  Hitting coach P.J. Pilittere, who played in the system for a while, was also ejected.
1B Greg Bird:  0-for-2, RS, 3 BB, SB (1)
Has equaled his stolen base total from last season.    Nice to see the three walks, which gives him 41 in 70 games.
3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-3, 2B (25), 2 RBI, RS, BB
Impossible for anyone to be disappointed with Bichette this season.  .280/.363/.420 in 371 AB with 60 runs batted in.
OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-6, RS
.293/.401/.447 here; .319/.419/.501 overall
SS Cito Culver:  0-for-5, 2 K
.210/.279/.272
As much as Bichette's revival (though we shouldn't get TOO carried away there) is fun to watch, the Yankees would have been better off if Culver was the one showing signs of life instead.

LHP Miguel Sulbaran:  5 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, HR
He hasn't put together a start this bad in a long time.  Had a 1.15 ERA in 31.1 June innings; had a 0.78 ERA in 23 IP in July before tonight.
LHP Ramon Benjamin (L, 0-2):  2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
4.12 ERA in 19.2 IP with 21/10 K/BB ratio.
------------------------------
Charleston (Defeated Asheville, 8-7, in 13 innings)

3B Miguel Andujar:  1-for-6, HR (9), 2 RBI, RS, K
Back-to-back games with HR; has 13 RBI in last ten games
2B/SS Tyler Wade:  1-for-4, RS, BB, HBP
2B Gosuke Katoh:  2-for-4, 2 2B (15), RBI, 2 RS, BB, CS (8)
15-for-23 stealing bases.   He was hitting .190 at the ASB with 75 Ks in 57 games.  He is 33-for-109 since the ASB with 33 Ks in 33 games.
OF Mark Payton:  2-for-7, 2 RBI
.355/.459/.500 in 62 AB since signing
SS Abiatal Avelino:  0-for-6, 2 K
.271/.333/.353 in 133 AB.   1-for-14 since coming off of his rehab stint.
OF Michael O'Neill:  3-for-6, 2B (20), RS, 2 K, 2 SB (31)
OF Brandon Thomas:  1-for-6, 2B (7), 3 K
UTIL John Murphy:  1-for-1, RBI
Pinch-hit for Avelino

RHP Gabriel Encinas: 3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, HR
9.90 ERA in ten innings.  This is essentially a rehab year for him.
RHP Luis Niebla:  5 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Eric Ruth: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.73 ERA in 72.1 IP with 71/24 K/BB ratio pitching in all four full-season levels.
RHP Giovanny Gallegos (W, 4-4):  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
5.18 ERA; 64.1 IP, 78 H, 46 R, 37 ER, 5 HR, 16 BB, 66 K
--------------------------------------
Staten Island (Lost to Tri-City, 16-3.    Seems like they are giving up some runs lately...)

C Luis Torrens:  1-for-4, K
Streak hits 21.
OF Nathan Mikolas:  3-for-4, 2B (3), HR (2), 2 RBI, RS, K
If he would have a nice game like this more than once every five months or so, the Yankees would be onto something.    Hitting .228.
2B/3B Ty McFarland:  0-for-4, 2 K
Hitting .306.  You will hear people (including myself) talking about how college hitters SHOULD dominate here and that McFarland is doing nothing special.  I do agree with that - but remember, some college bats show their true colors right away and flame right out of baseball. 
C Isaias Tejada:  1-for-4, HR (3), RBI, RS, K
Having a nice season (.352 in 88 AB), but he hasn't been good in a while.
RF Austin Aune:  1-for-4, 2 K
1B/OF Chris Breen:  0-for-4, 2 K
SS Vincent Conde:  0-for-5, K
.234/.302/.255 in 47 AB since signing
1B Connor Spencer:  1-for-4, RS

RHP Jordan Cote (L, 1-3):  2 IP, 6 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 HR
Has an 8.40 ERA in 30 innings
RHP Matt Borens:  2.2 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, HR
