Some notes…
- Kevin Goldstein reports that the Yankees have signed 16-year-old shortstop Tzu-Wei Lin out of Taiwan for $350,000. That’s $200,000 more than they gave Fu-Lin Kuo back in December, which I suppose gives us an idea of how much they like him. Goldstein’s mini-scouting report says he’s 5-foot-11 and 150 lbs. with a good bat and good glove. Who the hell knows though.
- Both Hector Noesi and D.J. Mitchell have been promoted to Triple-A Scranton. Those moves come in the wake of not just the Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos promotions, but also the Zach McAllister trade and Ivan Nova’s call up. Lots of movement in the last week or so.
- The Yankees spent 188% more ($5,126,500 total) than their established slot amount ($2,722,800) in the first ten rounds this year according to Baseball America. Only the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Tigers went more over slot.
- Adam Warren’s 15 strikeout game earned him Double-A Eastern League Pitcher of the Week honors. Michael Solbach took home the same award in the Low-A South Atlantic League.
And on to the actual games…
Triple-A Scranton had a scheduled off day.

Justin Christian, LF & Austin Krum, CF: both 1 for 4, 1 K
Everyone Else: combined 0 for 19, 4 BB, 8 K – a pair of those walks went to Dan Brewer, as did a pair of strikeouts
Manny Banuelos: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 7-3 GB/FB – turns out AA is tougher than A+ … allowed a pair of homers in this one after surrendering just one to this point all season
Josh Schmidt: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K – no contact outing
Wilkin DeLaRosa: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 0-2 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (6-5 loss to Greenville)
Slade Heathcott, CF: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – threw a runner out at the plate
Kelvin Castro, SS, Rob Lyerly, 3B, Luke Murton, 1B, Neil Medchill, LF & Emerson Landoni, 2B: all 1 for 4 – Castro walked, got caught stealing, drove in a run, K’ed & committed a fielding error … Lyerly drove in two, K’ed twice & committed a fielding error… Murton drove in one & K’ed once … Medchill hit a solo jack & K’ed … Landoni K’ed
J.R. Murphy, C: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 PB
Ramon Flores, RF: 0 for 4, 3 K – yikes
Francisco Santana, DH: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Mike Gipson: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2-4 GB/FB – just up from Staten Island because of all the recent movement
Jairo Heredia: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 3-1 GB/FB – kinda telling that with all the pitching moves, they didn’t even bother to stick him back in the rotation
Gabriel Tatis: 1.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2-1 GB/FB
Manny Barreda: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GB/FB

Casey Stevenson, 2B: 0 for 4, 1 R, 1 K

Mike Ferraro, DH: 0 for 2, 1 R, 1 BB
Nik Turley: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 6 BB, 4 K, 2-5 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … surprisingly, the walks haven’t been much of an issue this year … I guess I’m just programmed to expect high walk totals with these big project guys
Rich Martinez: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2-2 GB/FB
Dan Burawa: 1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1-0 GB/FB – he was 94-96 on the gun

Rookie GCL Yanks had their game postponed due to rain. They’ll make it up as part of a doubleheader tomorrow. Their season ends this Saturday and they’re nowhere close to a playoff spot, so get ready to say goodbye in a few days.
