Yankees Minor League Report 8/24/14: Ramon Flores Homers Twice; Jake Cave Homers; Latest Short Start from Luis Severino

Scranton (Lost to Rochester, 5-4)

OF Ramon Flores:  3-for-5, 2 HR (7), 3 RBI, 2 RS
.264/.352/.472 in 212 AB.   Flores is already on the 40-man roster, and they could promote him to the majors in September.  His job security on the 40-man is not high if room is needed this winter.
2B Robert Refsnyder:  2-for-4, 2B (17), RS, BB, K, SB (4)
8-for-17 stealing bases between Trenton/Scranton.  As others have said, despite his stolen base success in the lower minors, speed is not really a big part of his game.    Now has 56 XBH in 130 games this year.
UTIL Jose Pirela:  2-for-5, RS
.308/.355/.448 in 516 AB.   After a slump put him on the brink of dropping under .500, he is now on a 15-for-40 surge
C John Ryan Murphy:  0-for-3, BB, K
.229/.282/.367 in 166 AB
OF Zoilo Almonte:  0-for-4, 3 K
1B Kyle Roller:  2-for-3, 2B (21), RBI, BB, K
54 XBH in 117 games between Trenton/Scranton
OF Taylor Dugas:  0-for-3, BB

RHP Zach Nuding:  5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
3.89 ERA: 148 IP, 155 H, 69 R, 64 ER, 15 HR, 42 BB, 109 K between Trenton/Scranton
RHP Chase Whitley:  2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
He will provide some bullpen depth in September
RHP Nick Rumbelow:  0.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
Well, an outing like this was bound to happen at some point, right?  Let us see how he bounces back.
---------------------------------------
Trenton (Defeated Harrisburg, 7-3)

CF Jake Cave:  2-for-4, 2B (8), HR (2), 2 RBI, RS, BB, K
After hitting two home runs in his first full season last year, he has five this year between Tampa/Trenton.  That isn't a lot, but monitoring his power is important - because he is a kid that some think has home run pop in his bat.
3B Rob Segedin:  1-for-2, HR (8), 2 RBI, RS, 3 BB
He will get another crack at Scranton next year to prove he is more than just a 2 1/2A player.
1B Greg Bird: 0-for-3, RBI, 2 BB
.236/.345/.569 in 20 games
3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-4, RS, K
OF Ben Gamel:  0-for-4, BB, K
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-4, RS

RHP Luis Severino:  2.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
108.2 IP, 88 H, 35 R, 30 ER, 3 HR, 26 BB, 123 K    As stated previously, he is being eased up down the stretch.
LHP Cesar Cabral:  3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
LHP James Pazos:  2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
1.42 ERA: 38 IP, 26 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 HR, 15 BB, 40 K since joining level
--------------------------------------
Tampa (Defeated Dunedin, 5-1)

OF Aaron Judge: 2-for-4, 2 RBI
13-for-39 in last ten games
3B Eric Jagielo: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
.248/.349/.448
The key for him is not so much the batting average - it is whether or not he can translate his patience/power from here until he gets to the big leagues.
CF Mark Payton:  0-for-2, SF. RBI, RS, HBP, K
1B Mike Ford:  2-for-4, RBI
Low minors destroyer, or a legit prospect picked up off of the undrafted FA scrap heap?
SS Cito Culver:  1-for-3, RBI, RS. BB, K

RHP Brady Lail (W, 2-1):  6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
10-5, 3.79 ERA; 128.1 IP, 134 H, 60 R, 54 ER, 8 HR, 25 BB, 109 K between Charleston/Tampa
RHP Philip Walby: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Caleb Cotham:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
--------------------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Rome, 5-4, in 12 innings)

IF Tyler Wade:  1-for-5, 3B (6), RS, BB, K, SB (21)
Played 2B today, moving to 3B later in the game.   .277/.353/.351 in 476 AB
SS Abital Avelino:  1-for-5, BB, 2 K
3B Miguel Andujar:  1-for-6, K
2B Gosuke Katoh: 0-for-1, RS, K
OF Brandon Thomas:  0-for-4, BB, K
OF Yeicok Calderon:  2-for-6, 2B (3), RBI, RS

RHP Rookie Davis: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
5.10 ERA; 120 IP, 129 H, 72 R. 68 ER, 40 BB, 97 K
RHP Giovanny Gallegos: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Evan Rutckyj (L, 4-3):  2.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
4.15 ERA; 47.2 IP, 43 H, 26 R, 22 ER, 2 HR, 36 BB, 58 K
Every now and again, you will take a flyer on a pitcher like this and look like a genius; most times, however, it just never really comes together.
-------------------------------------
Staten Island (Defeated Vermont, 3-1)

LF Chris Breen:   2-for-4, 2B (14), RBI, RS, K
C Luis Torrens: 1-for-4, 2B (12), RBI
2B/3B Ty McFarland:  0-for-3, BB, K
1B Connor Spencer:  1-for-4, 2B (12), RS, K
Hitting .354 in 164 AB
RF Austin Aune:  0-for-3, BB, 3 K
89 Ks in 53 games.  Has five consecutive multi-strikeout games

RHP David Palladino (W, 6-5):  5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K
3.79 ERA; 61.2 IP, 55 H, 32 R, 26 ER, 4 HR, 29 BB, 53 K
It is all about harnessing the talent, which of course is true of many pitching prospects
RHP Joe Harvey:  3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
2.20 ERA; 16.1 IP, 14 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 13 K    Another middle-of-the-draft pick who becomes something?  Too soon to tell, but would it really surprise anyone?
