The Rookie Level Gulf Coast League Yankees (roster) started their season today, but first:
- Austin Romine is now symptom-free following his concussion and has resumed baseball activities. He’s expected to return to the field in about a week. Good news.
- Alan Horne (remember him?) is headed to Double-A Trenton and will likely start on Wednesday. It will be his first official game since September 4th, 2009.
- Jorge Vazquez was placed on the disabled list for an unknown reason and Addison Maruszak was called up from Trenton to take his spot.
- Rob Lyerly was promoted from High-A Tampa to Trenton. I imagine Rob Segedin will move from Low-A Charleston to Tampa very soon.
- Gary Sanchez is your Low-A South Atlantic League Offensive Player of the Week.
And now, off to the games…
Triple-A Scranton (2-0 win over Norfolk) Mark Prior coached first base tonight, so he’s healthy enough to do that
Austin Krum, CF: 0 for 2, 1 K – he was lifted from the game after striking out in the third, but it doesn’t say he was ejected … weird
Addison Maruszak, 1B: 0 for 2
Greg Golson, LF-CF: 1 for 4
Kevin Russo, 3B-LF: 1 for 3, 1 HBP
Jesus Montero, C: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K – eight for his last 26 (.307) with a double, a homer, two walks, and just that one strikeout
Brandon Laird, 1B-3B: 0 for 3, 1 R
Jordan Parraz, RF: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB – he ran over the third base ump making the turn around third

Doug Bernier, SS: 1 for 3
Adam Warren, RHP: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 7-2 GB/FB – 60 of 98 pitches were strikes (61.2%) … lost the no-hitter with two outs in the seventh … that’s three very good starts in the row, and two of them were legitimately great … good to see

Walt Ibarra, SS: 3 for 6, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K – that’s three straight games with a jack, which is crazy because he hit one homerun total in 2009 and 2010 combined
Kevin Mahoney, 1B: 1 for 4, 2 K
Zoilo Almonte, LF: 1 for 5, 1 K, 1 CS – threw a runner out at second

Low-A Charleston is off until Thursday for the All-Star Game, which will be played tomorrow. Mikey O’Brien, J.R. Murphy, Slade Heathcott, Kyle Roller were all selected to the team, though Ramon Flores made the club as an injury replacement for Heathcott. Roller’s injury replacement came from another club.
Short Season Staten Island (8-3 win over Hudson Valley)

Vidal Nuno, LHP: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB

Rookie GCL Yanks (6-5 win over GCL Braves)
Ravel Santana, CF: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI – this kid’s super-legit
David Adams, 2B: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B – he played five innings in the field, almost certainly by design … hopefully he stays on the field this time, he’s already lost a year of development due to that injury
Taylor Anderson, 2B: 0 for 1 – took over for Adams, obviously
Dante Bichette Jr., 3B: 0 for 3, 1 BB – I figured they were going to let him try third, no reason not to
Tyler Austin, DH: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B – another guy to keep an eye on, big time sleeper
Yeicock Calderon, RF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K – “finally” made it to the States
Isaias Tejeda, C: 3 for 4, 2 R, 4 RBI, 1 K – no idea who this kid is, but I suspect I should get on that
Claudio Custodio, SS: 2 for 4, 1 RBI – that’s an 80 name right there
Danny Lopez, LF: 0 for 4
Fu-Lin Kuo, 1B: 0 for 4, 1 K – batting ninth and playing first in the GCL? for shame
Gabe Encinas, RHP: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 5-4 GB/FB – very nice season debut
Edwin Rodriguez, RHP: 3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1-2 GB/FB – now we know the truth, he resigned to pitch for the Yankees!
Leonel Vinas, RHP: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 0-1 GB/FB – not a good debut for the Hank’s Yanks alum
Cory Cowsert, RHP: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – indy league signee
Yankees Draftees In The College World Series
Sam Stafford, LHP: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K – 24 of 40 pitches were strikes (60%) … second rounder came on in relief after the starter got knocked out early, but it doesn’t matter now, Texas’ season is now over
