Jesus Montero did not play for Triple-A Scranton, but apparently it was a routine day off (he actually coached first base, so it’s not an injury). Brian Cashman said he’s not being called up, but here’s my conspiracy theory: Montero’s coming up tomorrow if Russell Martin is not healthy enough to play. We’re pretty much at the point were Martin will have to go on the disabled list if he can’t catch, and they don’t want to risk Montero getting hurt tonight. Anyway, we’ll see.
Oh, and Brad Halsey has already been promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton. That was quick, he just made his first appearance for Tampa last night. Kei Igawa moved up to Triple-A Scranton to fill the rotation spot of whoever comes up to replace Bartolo Colon.
Triple-A Scranton (3-2 loss to Syracuse)
Greg Golson, CF: 0 for 5, 1 K
Ramiro Pena, SS: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K – ten for his last 36 (.278) with five walks and four whiffs
Jordan Parraz, RF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 0 for 4, 3 K
Brandon Laird, DH: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI – 14 for his last 36 (.389) with four doubles and two homers
Kevin Russo, 3B: 2 for 4, 1 CS
Dan Brewer, LF: 1 for 4, 3 K, 1 SB
Luis Nunez, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 K
Jesus Montero, PH: 0 for 0, 1 BB – see? healthy enough to pinch-hit, though Doug Bernier pinch-ran for him
Gus Molina, C: 2 for 4 – > Frankie Cervelli?
D.J. Mitchell, RHP: 7 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 12-3 GB/FB – 66 of 116 pitches were strikes (56.9%) … is that enough to get him a spot start over Hector Noesi in place of Bartolo Colon? I don’t think so … he gave up two hits to a (pretty good) rehabbing big leaguer
Ryan Pope, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB – eight of his 11 pitches were strikes … > Lance Pendleton or Jeff Marquez?
Double-A Trenton (4-2 win over Binghamton)
Ray Kruml, CF: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 K – 12 for his last 41 (.293)
Corban Joseph, 2B: 1 for 4, 1 BB – nine for his last 30 (.300) with three doubles, homer, six walks, and four strikeouts
Bradley Suttle, 3B: 1 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 K
Cody Johnson, DH: 0 for 3, 3 K, 1 HBP – oh yeah
Jose Gil, C: 3 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI – it was an inside-the-park homer, but it took the outfielder almost seriously injuring himself to happen
DeAngelo Mack, LF: 0 for 1, 1 R, 3 BB – nine for his last 26 (.346) with five walks and five strikeouts
Jose Pirela, SS: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
Jason Place, RF: 0 for 4, 2 K
Addison Maruszak, 1B: 0 for 3, 1 K, 1 HBP
Manny Banuelos, LHP: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 5-4 GB/FB – 59 of 100 pitches were strikes … season high for strikeouts, but he’s still walked three or more batters in five straight starts and in six of his last seven
Fernando Hernandez, RHP: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 WP – uglified Banuelos’ line by allowing an inherited runner to score all the way from first
Naoya Okamoto, LHP: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3-2 GB/FB – hooray for three inning saves
High-A Tampa (4-2 win over Dunedin)
Abe Almonte, CF, Luke Murton, 1B & Taylor Grote, RF: all 0 for 4 – Almonte walked, stole a base, and struck out … Grote struck out three times
Walt Ibarra, SS: 1 for 5, 2 RBI, 1 SB
Rob Lyerly, DH & Kelvin Castro, 2B: both 0 for 3, 1 R – Lyerly walked and struck out twice … Castro struck out and committed a fielding error
Zoilo Almonte, LF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB – that’s his fourth homer in his last ten games
Kevin Mahoney, 3B: 1 for 3, 1 K, 1 HBP
Mitch Abeita, C: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Jairo Heredia, RHP: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 2-4 GB/FB – 24-3 K/BB in his last 20 IP … he’s been on a roll, which we’ve been waiting a year or two for
Jose Quintana, LHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2-0 GB/FB
Preston Claiborne, RHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1-2 GB/FB
Low-A Charleston (2-0 win over Asheville) faced the 11th overall pick of the 2009 draft
Jose Toussen, LF: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K
Anderson Feliz, 2B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – 11 for his last 30 (.367) with three doubles
J.R. Murphy, C: 0 for 3, 1 BB – stuck in a 1-for-20 (.050) rut
Gary Sanchez, DH: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – 4-for-17 (.235) with five walks and three strikeouts since coming back
Ramon Flores, CF: 0 for 4, 1 K – with Eduardo Sosa injured and Slade Heathcott apparently banged up to the point that he can only DH, he’s stuck in center
Kelvin DeLeon, RF: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K
Garrison Lassiter, 3B: 0 for 4, 3 K
Jeff Farnham, 1B: 2 for 3, 1 BB
Jose Mojica, SS: 1 for 2, 1 BB
Nik Turley, LHP: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 3-6 GB/FB – 70-19 K/BB ratio in 72.1 IP
Tommy Kahnle, RHP: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 4-2 GB/FB – “just” four walks in his last 8.2 IP after 22 in his first 28 IP
Kelvin Perez, RHP: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 0-1 GB/FB
Just a reminder, the Short Season Staten Island season begins on June 17th (this coming Friday) while the Rookie Level GCL Yankees start on the 20th (the following Monday). The rosters have not been released yet, but they will be at some point next week.
