Update: The High-A Tampa game is finally over and has been added to the post.
Keith Law gave some big time love to Mason Williams in his chat this afternoon…
I think Williams has a chance to be … actually, the player I think Colby Rasmus will be. Hits for average, runs well, plays good D in CF, hits maybe 20-25 HR.
I didn’t think he had that kind of power potential, but obvious he’s talking about a best case scenario. That kind of player is a star. Law also mentioned that a scout he spoke to raved about Angelo Gumbs’ bat speed but was generally down on Cito Culver.
Triple-A Scranton (6-3 win to Buffalo)
Kevin Russo, LF: 0 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – threw a runner out at second
Greg Golson, CF: 1 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 SB
Jesus Montero, C: 0 for 4, 1 BB – .000/.111/.000 in his last nine plate appearances … bust!
Jorge Vazquez, DH: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – third homer in four games
Brandon Laird, 3B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B – I see the lack of at-bats in the big leagues didn’t bother him
Jordan Parraz, RF: 2 for 3, 3 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 HBP – 12 for his last 31 (.387) with four doubles, a triple, and a homer

Doug Bernier, SS: 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Greg Smith, LHP: 6 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 5-2 GB/FB – 53 of 79 pitches were strikes (67.1%) … picked a runner off first, which isn’t surprising since he has a great move

Randy Flores, LHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB – nine of 12 pitches were strikes

Dellin Betances, RHP: 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 6-4 GB/FB – just 64 pitches, 43 of which were strikes (57.2%) … he was cruising until the sixth, then some ground balls got through for singles and the wheels came off … he was mostly 93-94 with some 96’s … could this have been his last start with the Yankees? maybe
Pat Venditte, SwP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2-0 GB/FB
Ryan Flannery, RHP: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3-0 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (12-2 win over Fort Myers)
Abe Almonte, CF: 1 for 5 – got pinch-hit for in the eighth, and I’m not entirely sure why
Emerson Landoni, PH-RF: 0 for 1 – especially when this guy did the pinch-hitting
David Adams, 2B: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB – he’s OPS’ing over 1.000 this year, combined at all levels
Ronnier Mustelier, RF-CF: 1 for 6, 1 2B
Kyle Roller, 1B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 HBP – second homer in four games

Sean Black, RHP: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 7-6 GB/FB
Michael Solbach, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GB/FB

Gary Sanchez, C: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 2 K, 1 PB, 1 E (throwing) – I’m going to guess that an outfielder fell down on the triple
Ramon Flores, LF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Shane Brown, DH: 2 for 3, 1 BB
Kelvin DeLeon, RF: 0 for 4, 2 K – 108 K in 336 AB (32.1%)

Wes Wilson, 3B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI – the box score says Wes, but I’m thinking it’s really Zach
Cody Grice, LF: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – got picked off first … 11 for his last 28 (.393)
Reymond Nunez, 1B: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP – ten for his last 33 (.303), but 16 strikeouts
Ben Gamel, RF, Casey Stevenson, 3B & Jhorge Liccien, C: all 0 for 3 – Liccien and Stevenson struck out once, Gamel twice … Stevenson also drew a walk to lead off the ninth and was pinch hit for … Angelo Gumbs pinch-hit for Liccien as the following batter and struck out … Gamel got hit by a pitch and stole a base, Liccien allowed a passed ball

Jack Valera, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K

Ravel Santana, CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 3 K – that’s his league-leading eighth homer … gotta go back to 2009 to find someone that hit that many in this league, and with 26 games left in the season, he’s got a chance to be the GCL’s first double-digit homer guy since 2008
Justin James, LF: 2 for 2, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HBP – hits every time he plays, like clockwork
Jeff Marquez, RHP: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1-3 GB/FB – another guy rehabbing
