We have notes…
- Grant Duff has been placed on the DL for an unknown reason, but it’s not surprising after he got rocked last time out. J.B. Cox takes his place on the roster.
- Kevin Goldstein had a little something on Hector Noesi today (sub. req’d): “He doesn’t have a pitch that any scout would put a 60 on, but his fastball has average to plus movement with some cutting action, his curveball is solid, his change is good, and he absolutely pounds the strike zone and pitches without fear … It’s not a crazy high ceiling, but Noesi sure looks like a major-league starter and could be a nice trade chip in the coming month.”
- Jesus Montero, Eduardo Nunez, and Jon Albaladejo were all named to the Triple-A International League All Star Team, so congrats to them.
- Robert Pimpsner reported that 32nd round pick LHP Kramer Sneed has signed and will report to Short Season Staten Island tomorrow.
Triple-A Scranton (6-5 loss to Pawtucket)
Justin Christian, LF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Marcus Thames, DH: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – obviously, he’s on a rehab assignment … all four at-bats came against lefties … singled after falling behind in the count 0-2 & working it back full … on the other hand, he had a 3-0 count later in the game, only to fly out on a broken bat after the count ran full
Jeff Natale, PH-DH: 1 for 1, 1 R, 2 RBI – took over once Thames got his four at-bats
Eduardo Nunez, SS: 0 for 4, 1 BB, 2 K – four for his last 23 (.174)
Jesus Montero, C: 1 for 5, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 PB – ten for his last 26 (.385) with three doubles & two homers … I have to say, it’s good to see his AVG/OBP/SLG all go DOWN after a night like this, shows his numbers are back in the realm of respectability
Jorge Vazquez, 3B: 1 for 5, 1 2B, 2 K
Reid Gorecki, RF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 SB
Reegie Corona, 2B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB

Edwar Gonzalez, RF: 0 for 2, 1 BB
Kevin Smith, 1B: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K
Luis Nunez, SS: 1 for 4
Justin Snyder, 2B: 2 for 3, 2 2B, 1 BB, 1 CS, 1 E (throwing)
Andrew Brackman: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HB, 5-4 GB/FB – just his second AA start, so no biggie … GM Brian Cashman was in the house to see him
Wilkins Arias: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-2 GB/FB
Tim Norton: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB
High-A Tampa had their doubleheader rained out. Not sure when they’re going to make these games up, but their next series against Lakeland is in late August.
Low-A Charleston was washed out. I assume they’re going to play two at some point over the next three days.
Short Season Staten Island (4-2 win over Aberdeen)
Eduardo Sosa, CF & Kyle Roller, 1B: both 2 for 5, 1 R – Sosa doubled twice … Roller drove in a run & K’ed

Isaiah Brown, DH: 1 for 5, 2 K
Kevin Mahoney, 3B & Casey Stevenson, 2B: both 1 for 4 – Mahoney K’ed … Stevenson doubled
Jose Mojica, SS: 2 for 4, 2 RBI – 15 for his last 37 (.405) with four doubles, one walk & zero strikeouts … in fact, he has yet to strike out in 47 plate appearances this year … that’s nuts
Jeff Farnham, C: 0 for 4, 2 K – picked a runner off first with a snap throw
Mikey O’Brien: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 2-6 GB/FB – 2 ER, 13-4 K/BB ratio in 18.1 IP

Ramon Flores, RF: 1 for 3, 1 RBI

Jose Toussen, 2B: 0 for 3
John Van Benschoten: 1 IP, zeroes, 2-1 GB/FB – I had completely forgotten about him … he’s coming back from a torn meniscus
Brett Gerritse: 4 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 4-5 GB/FB, 1 E (throwing) – picked a runner off first
