Remember when Jon Weber hit .452-.452-.581 in Spring Training and people were saying he would have beaten out Marcus Thames for the final bench spot if he wasn’t a lefty hitter? Yeah, he got released today after hitting .258-.333-.325 in 47 games with Triple-A Scranton. Those Spring Training stats … they’ll get you every time.
Robert Pimpsner put together a preliminary roster (i.e. not official) for Short Season Staten Island, who start their season two weeks from tomorrow on the 18th. That seems a little early, but maybe it’s just me. Rookie level GCL Yanks start their season a few days later on the 21st. Remember, both of those teams will feature lots of 2010 draftees.
Triple-A Scranton (11-3 loss to Durham)
Reegie Corona, 2B & Reid Gorecki, DH: both 2 for 4, 1 R – Gorecki tripled & drove in a run
Eduardo Nunez, SS, David Winfree, RF & Greg Golson, CF: all 1 for 4 – Nunez scored a run & drove one in … Winfree drove in a run
Juan Miranda: 0 for 3, 2 K – was lifted late in the game … not sure why, but he could have just been catching a breather after being sent down late yesterday
Chad Huffman, LF: 0 for 4, 2 K – threw a runner out at second
Jesus Montero, C: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K
Matt Cusick, 3B: 0 for 3, 1 K
Tim Redding: 4.1 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 7-2 GB/FB – 55 of 85 pitches were strikes (64.7%) … look at it this way, those are 4.1 IP that won’t overly tax the arm of someone with an actual future with the organization
Jason Hirsh: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 18 of 34 pitches were strikes (52.9%)
Mark Melancon: 2.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3-1 GB/FB – 32 of his 49 pitches were strikes (65.3%) … but a rough go of it for him of late, that’s 34 baserunners & nine runs allowed in his last 16.1 IP
The Ghost of Kei Igawa: 0.2 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1-0 GB/FB – five of his eight pitches were strikes
Double-A Trenton (10-7 loss to Portland) this is their first loss at home since April 29th … April 29th!

Austin Romine, C: 0 for 5, 1 K – hit streak dies at 14
Brandon Laird, 3B: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – apparently the homer was no cheapie either
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K – once David Adams gets back, this lineup is going to be devastating
Dan Brewer, RF: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K
Marcos Vechionacci, DH: 4 for 4, 2 R, 1 BB – check Vech out
Kevin Mahoney, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K
Wilkin DeLaRosa: 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 2-2 GB/FB – meh

Grant Duff: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 0-2 GB/FB
Kevin Whelan: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – blew the lead in the 9th
Wilkins Arias: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 0-2 GB/FB – he made it even worse
High-A Tampa was rained out. I assume they’re going to play a pair tomorrow.
Low-A Charleston (6-2 win over Hickory)
Slade Heathcott, CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K – I have to say, just typing his name makes DotF a lot more exciting
J.R. Murphy, DH: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB
Jimmy Paredes, SS & Hector Rabago, 3B: both 0 for 3, 1 RBI – Paredes drew a walk & scored a run … Rabago K’ed & committed a fielding error, his sixth error in 11 games played
Luke Murton, 1B & Kelvin Castro, 2B: both 1 for 3, 1 BB – Murton drove in a run & K’ed … Castro drew a walk & scored
Zoilo Almonte, RF: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI
Kyle Higashioka, C: 3 for 4, 1 R – get his AVG up over the Mendoza line
DeAngelo Mack, LF: 1 for 4, 1 K – just a brutal slump … dude’s 22 for his last 104 (.216)
Jairo Heredia: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 4-5 GB/FB – easily his best start of the year … holding on tight to the last little bit of prospect stock he has left
Ryan Acosta: 2.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2-4 GB/FB
Dickie Marquez: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2-2 GB/FB
