Jagielo picks up three hits in Staten Island win

Some notes:

• Mark Hale spoke to a bunch of scouts about the Yankees top three outfield prospects, and they crushed OF Slade Heathcott pretty good. OF Tyler Austin received the best reviews while OF Mason Williams was kinda in the middle.
• 1B Kyle Roller has been placed on the Double-A Trenton DL, reports Josh Norris. He suffered what was described as a “serious” foot/ankle injury while running the bases the other day. No other information besides that though.
• Remember when the Yankees were talking to 3B Ian Stewart about a minor league deal? Scratch that, he’s signed with the Dodgers according to Jon Heyman.
