I had to write that title out just to see how completely ridiculous it was.
Triple-A Scranton (8-4 win over Columbus in 11 innings)
Alberto Gonzalez & Ben Broussard: both 0 for 5 – The Former Attorney General drew a walk, scored a run & K’ed thrice … Broussard K’ed once
Eric Duncan: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB – you tease

JD Closser: 1 for 3, 2 R, 2 BB
Nick Green: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 K – I wasn’t joking, he won the game with a salami in the 11th
IPK: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 HB, 6-3 GB/FB – 61 of 92 pitches were strikes (66.3%) … meh

Al Aceves: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K – The Mexican Gangster came out of the pen on his throw day because Scranton’s pen was short, and they ended up going to extras anyway
Heath Phillips: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K
Scott Strickland: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K – gave up back-to-back solo homers with 2 outs in the bottom of the 11th … he’d given up 2 hits total in his previous 11 IP

Josh Kreuser: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 1 SB, 1 HBP – say hello to the newest roster filler … he was signed after the Jays released him because he was slugging .190 with Double-A New Hampshire
Seth Fortenberry: 0 for 2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K
Eladio Rodriguez: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 CS
Grant Duff: 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 10-6 GB/FB – I’d call that a successful spot start, no?

Jon Ortiz: 1 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 1 HBP – nasty
Short Season Staten Island‘s game is currently in an extended rain delay, and I don’t want to wait around for it to end. Here’s the box score. If the game is suspended, they’ll likely finish it up tomorrow.
The Rookie GCL Yanks had a scheduled off day.
Futures Game (World beat the USA 3-0)
Ramiro Pena: 0 for 1, 1 BB, 1 K – took over short in the bottom of the 5th … he was in the game because the D-Backs called up Emilio Bonaficio last week and a replacement was needed … Pena was local and fit the bill regarding position and country, which is why he was selected to replace him, not because he’s a great prospect or anything … the same thing happened in 2006 with Josh Sharpless when the game was in Pittsburgh
Jesus Montero: 1 for 2 – took over behind the dish in bottom of the 6th … hit a clean single through the hole on the right side of the infield off Casey Weathers, the Rockies ’07 first rounder … it was a very Jeterian hit, if I do say so myself
Here’s a short little blurb on Montero from BA’s Prospect Blog regarding his batting practice showing prior to the game:
Yankees catcher Jesus Montero put on a spectacle a few weeks ago at the South Atlantic League All-Star game, blasting home run after home run into right center field with the friendly breeze at Greensboro. His first few reps in the cage started slow, but Montero hit three out of the park in one of his final BP reps, something the Yankees certainly hope he does more of in this stadium in the future.
Sounds good to me.
