Remember hearing that the recently signed Gary Sanchez would be reporting to the Rookie GCL Yanks later this summer? Not gonna happen. Ben Balder tells me that farm director Mark Newman confirmed that Sanchez has signed a 2010 contract like every other international signee. He’ll begin his career next year, most likely in Extended Spring Training before going to the GCL.
Shelley Duncan is one of six players who will take part in next week’s Triple-A Homerun Derby.
Triple-A Scranton (4-1 loss to Buffalo)
Kevin Russo & Austin Jackson: both 1 for 4 – Russo doubled … Jackson drove in a run & K’ed
Ramiro Pena & Yurendell DeCaster: both 2 for 4, 1 2B – Pena scored a run … DeCaster K’ed

Colin Curtis: 0 for 4, 1 K – threw a runner out at home from CF
Chris Stewart: 1 for 1 – left the game after singling in the third … there’s no way he would have been released (to make room for Cervelli) mid-game
Kevin Cash: 0 for 2
Romulo Sanchez: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 6-8 GB/FB – 37 of 66 pitches were strikes (56.1%) … could you ask for any more out of a spot starter?

Richie Robnett, Jesus Montero & Marcos Vechionacci: all 0 for 4 – Robnett drew a walk & K’ed … Vech K’ed … Montero is 1 for his last 20 (.050), so he’s a slumpin;
Eduardo Nunez: 1 for 5, 1 K – walk-off single, but no RBI because the outfielder made a throwing error
Jorge Vazquez, Chris Malec & Justin Snyder: all 1 for 4 – Vazquez doubled, drove in a run & missed a catch for an error … Malec doubled … Snyder was caught stealing & K’ed three times

Grant Duff: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 0-2 GB/FB – AA debut
High-A Tampa was washed out. I’m guessing they’ll play two at some point in the next few days.

Kyle Higashioka & Kelvin Castro: both 0 for 4, 2 K – Castro committed a fielding error
Hector Rabago: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – picked off first … he’s already a personal fave … how can you not love a guy that plays a different position every day, especially when one of them is catcher?

Trenton Lare: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 1 HB, 3-4 GB/FB – ejected in the 6th after hitting a batter in retaliation Paredes getting hit in the prior inning … 15 K & 5 baserunners in his last 9.1 IP

Mikey O’Brien: 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1-7 GB/FB – 2008 ninth rounder is a nice little sleeper … just wish he was a little taller than 5′-11″
Shane Greene & Dan Miller: both 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K – Greene had a 5-1 GB/FB, Miller 3-3
Julian Arballo: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB
