Yankees Minor League Report 8/25/14: Greg Bird Hits Another; Gary Sanchez Homers; Mason Williams Has a Grand Night; Dan Camarena's Big Outing; Latest from Ty Hensley

Scranton (Lost to Rochester, 4-2)

2B Robert Refsnyder:  0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
Up to 41 walks in 71 games since joining Scranton, including nine in his last ten games.  Also hitting .305.
OF Ramon Flores:  1-for-4, 3B (4), RBI, K
So, why not Flores?  He is hitting .264/.351/.477 in 216 AB at the age of 22 in Triple-A.   His defense may not be all that great, but that is an impressive statistical season.
1B Kyle Roller:  2-for-3, 2B (22), RBI, K
If he gets hot over the next week or so, the Yankees should see if they can catch a bit of lightning in a bottle - or at least call him up to be a pinch-hitter or whatever.
OF Zoilo Almonte: 0-for-4
C Austin Romine: 0-for-4
IF Corban Joseph:  1-for-4, K

RHP Bryan Mitchell:  5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
Excellent bounce back after getting torched (8 runs in 4.2 IP) in his last start.
RHP Preston Claiborne:  2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
First appearance here since 6/24. Just completed a rehab stint and will probably be one of the 215, 444 pitchers called up next week.
-------------------
Trenton (Defeated Akron, 9-2)

C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-5, HR (13), 3 RBI, RS, K
I still think Sanchez is quite the prospect.
1B Greg Bird: 2-for-3, HR (7), RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, K
His seven home runs (in 75 AB) come with only 10 runs batted in.  What in the name of Rob Deer is going on here?
CF Mason Williams:  1-for-3, HR (5 - Grand Slam), 4 RBI, RS, BB
OK, a bit cruel of me to not give him top billing at this level tonight.   If he wants to start hitting a bunch of grand slams, I will adjust accordingly.
CF Jake Cave:  3-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, RS, CS (2)
Has been a bit streaky since joining the level - now has three straight multi-hit games.
3B Rob Segedin:  2-for-3, RS, BB
3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-4, RS
OF Ben Gamel:  0-for-4, RS, BB, 3 K
If he were ice cream, he would be old-fashioned plain vanilla.

LHP Dan Camarena (W, 2-6):  8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 12 K
Where the heck did this come from?  Lowers ERA to 5.63 since joining level with a 38/12 K/BB ratio over 48 IP.  He has been pitching a bit better as of late after a horrific start after his promotion.
RHP Nick Goody:  1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
His struggles coming off of Tommy John are documented, but not unexpected.  We'll see what he does next spring.
-------------------------
Staten Island (Defeated Brooklyn, 2-1)

LF Chris Breen: 2-for-4, 2B (15), HR (7), RBI, RS, BB, K
Walk-off HR in bottom of the 10th
C Luis Torrens:  2-for-4
2B/3B Ty McFarland:  1-for-3, BB, 2 K
1B Connor Spencer:  1-for-5, K
RF Austin Aune:  0-for-2, BB, 2 K, CS (5)
Renzo Martini PH for him late in the game...and promptly struck out.
SS Vincent Conde:  0-for-4, 2 K
CF Devyn Bolasky:  0-for-5, K

RHP Ty Hensley:  3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
30.2 IP, 27 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 11 BB, 40 K between GCL/Staten Island.  I don't really need to state the obvious, but I will:  This is a rehab year.   He really needs to come out firing in 2015.
LHP Andrew Chin:  3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
15th rounder out of Boston College has pitched pretty well.  (11.1 IP, 10 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 11 K)
LHP Rony Bautista:  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
