DotF: Torres picks up four hits in Scranton’s win

by Leave a Comment

A few minor transactions via Matt Eddy: C Manny Argomaniz, C Brian Reyes, and 1B Ryan Krill were all released, and OF Matt McPhearson was signed to a minor league deal. McPhearson, 22, was the Diamondbacks’ fourth round pick in 2013. He’s a speed and defense guy who hit .278/.333/.340 (85 wRC+) with 31 steals in 111 High-A games last year. Arizona released McPhearson near the end of Spring Training.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barres RailRiders (5-4 win over Syracuse)

  • SS Gleyber Torres: 4-5, 2 RBI, 1 SB — here’s video of the four hits … I’m interested to know if he slid feet first or head first on the steal after last year’s injury
  • DH Mike Ford: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB
  • 1B Ryan McBroom: 2-4, 1 R, 1 K — 4-for-11 (.364) through three games
  • RHP David Hale: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 7/5 GB/FB — 46 of 75 pitches were strikes (61%)
  • RHP Gio Gallegos: 1 P, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 0/1 GB/FB — 12 of 21 pitches were strikes (57%) … seems the groin is healthy again
  • RHP Cody Carroll: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 1/1 GB/FB — 20 of 33 pitches were strikes (61%) … not the best Triple-A debut, but it happens

DotF: Miller throws scoreless inning in Triple-A rehab game

by 160 Comments

Got some notes to pass along:

  • RHP Luis Severino was named to Baseball America’s All-Prospect Team for June. “While Severino hasn’t put away Triple-A batters with two strikes as prolifically as he had at lower levels, the 21-year-old righty has maintained strong control of his pitches, while not allowing a home run through his first seven starts at Scranton,” said the write-up.
  • Matt Eddy reports the Yankees have LHP Cameron Pongs (Long Beach State) and C Manny Argomaniz (Fresno State) as undrafted free agents and RHP Mike Schaub out of an independent league.

Triple-A Scranton (6-2 loss to Buffalo)

  • LF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI
  • RF Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 K
  • 1B Greg Bird: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 K — first Triple-A extra-base hit
  • 2B Rob Refsnyder: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — six homers in 78 games … he had nine homers through 78 games last year
  • C Austin Romine: 1-4
  • RHP Jaron Long: 4 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 5/3 GB/FB — 42 of 69 pitches were strikes (61%)
  • LHP Andrew Miller: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB — nine pitches, eight strikes … depending how he feels tomorrow, he could be activated off the DL without making another rehab appearance
  • RHP Chris Martin: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 4/0 GB/FB — 24 of 42 pitches were strikes (57%)
  • RHP Jose Ramirez: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3/1 GB/FB — 23 of 35 pitches were strikes (66%)
