Minors Report for 9/6/10 (Montero Goes Yard; Hector Noesi; Andrew Brackman; Austin Romine; Robert Lyelry; Shane Greene)

Tom K — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:46:33 +0000

Scranton: It wasn’t a great day for Jesus Montero, but the one hit he was able to compile was his 21st home run of the season (a solo shot) as Scranton took a 4-3 decision in 12 innings. Montero is at .289 with 34 doubles, three triples, 21 home runs, and 75 RBI. He has [...]

Minors Report for 9/5/10 (Brandon Laird; Austin Romine; Jose Pirela; Brett Marshall; Slade Heathcott)

Tom K — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:25:04 +0000

Scranton: Cody Ransom showed the Yankees why they should have never dumped him, hitting a 10th inning bomb to lead Lehigh Valley to a 2-1 victory over Scranton. Brandon Laird went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, his 101th run batted in of the season. Juan Miranda & Chad Huffman also each chipped in [...]

Minors Report for 9/4/10 (David Phelps; Jose Pirela; Zolio Almonte; Deangelo Mack; Kramer Sneed)

Tom K — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:25:05 +0000

Scranton: It seems like every time David Phelps pitches, he shows the Yankees that the minor leagues may not be a spot he should stay at for very long in 2011. Phelps threw eight strong innings, and Jorge Vazquez hit his 17th home run as Scranton took a 6-1 decision. Phelps went eight innings, allowing [...]

Minors Report for 9/3/10 (Jesus Montero is a Beast; Daniel Brewer is Rolling; Austin Romine; Dellin Betances; Sean Black; Cito Culver; Rob Segedin; Thomas Kahlne)

Tom K — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:44:34 +0000

Scranton: Jesus Montero (yawn) hit his 20th home run of the season, and also banged out a pair of doubles for good measure in a 10-4 Scranton victory. Jorge Vazquez, Colin Curtis, and Chad Huffman also hit home runs. DJ Mitchell earned the victory with five innings of three run, seven hit ball. He walked [...]

Minors Report for 9/2/10 (Jesus Montero; Brandon Laird; Manny Banuelos; Daniel Brewer; Austin Romine; Gary Sanchez)

Tom K — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:46:09 +0000

Scranton: Are these the final days of Jesus Montero, the Minor Leaguer? Are these the last days of Jesus Montero, the property of the Yankees? (Hey, I hope not – but they did offer him for significant players last offseason and during this season). Anyway, Jesus Montero doubled and drove in three runs, while Juan [...]

Minors Report for 9/1/10 (Jesus Montero’s 4-Hit Night; Andrew Brackman; Graham Stoneburner; Gary Sanchez; Richard Martinez; Thomas Kahlne)

Tom K — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:00:06 +0000

Scranton: A double-header split tonight – first game was a 4-3 loss; the nightcap was a 4-1 victory. Jesus Montero (who else?) actually played in both games, going 4-for-8 with a double, home run, three runs batted in, and two runs scored. He is hitting .288 with 31 doubles, three triples, 19 home runs, and [...]

Minors Report for 8/31/10 (Austin Romine; Daniel Brewer; Slade Heathcott; JR Murphy)

Tom K — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:34:36 +0000

Scranton: Not much to write about tonight for Scranton, as they were only able to produce four hits in a 6-0 loss. Jesus Montero went 1-for-4, while Kevin Russo went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. Montero’s slugging percentage dipped below .500 as his line now reads .284/.352/.495. That’s it. Lance Pendleton started, and [...]

Minors Report for 8/30/10 (David Phelps; Daniel Brewer; Adam Warren; Slade Heathcott Goes Yard!!!!!; Brett Marshall is Cruising Along)

Tom K — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:41:11 +0000

With the season winding down, some prospects may disappear as the Yankees shut them down. Jose Ramirez, a 20-year old who pitched very well for Charleston this year, is one such prospect. He started tiring in his last several starts, so they pulled the plug. He threw 115 innings this year, nearly twice his previous [...]

Minors Report for 8/29/10 (Jesus Montero Homers Twice; DJ Mitchell; Dellin Betances; Gary Sanchez)

Tom K — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:30:21 +0000

Scranton: Jesus Montero sure as heck is trying to make the Yankees’ decision in September a tough one. Montero went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four runs batted in, while DJ Mitchell provided seven innings of one hit ball in a 5-1 Scranton win. Montero is at .288/.357/.504 on the year with 30 doubles, [...]

Minors Report for 8/28/10 (Manny Banuelos Bounces back; Zolio Almonte; Sean Black; JR Murphy; Rob Segedin)

Tom K — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:44:15 +0000

Scranton: Not much hitting here tonight – but they were able to split a double-header anyway. Scranton only scored two runs in the 14 innings – luckily for them, they both came in the same game and they won it 2-1. Jesus Montero went 1-for-4 in the opener (4-0 loss). He didn’t play in the [...]

Minors Report for 8/27/10 (Hector Noesi Makes Scranton Debut; Jesus Montero; Andrew Brackman; Slade Heathcott; Shane Greene)

Tom K — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 03:24:19 +0000

Scranton: Hector Noesi pitched “OK” in his Triple-A debut, but it was the offense that came to life in a 10-7 victory. Jesus Montero went 2-for-5 with his 30th double and a run batted in, while Jorge Vazquez cranked out a two-run home run in the victory. Noesi went six innings, allowing four runs on [...]

Minors Report for 8/27/10 (Hector Noesi Makes Scranton Debut; Jesus Montero; Andrew Brackman; Slade Heathcott; Shane Greene)

Minors Report for 8/26/10 (Romulo Sanchez Injured; Lance Pendleton; Graham Stoneburner; Thomas Kahlne; Austin Gumbs; Evan Rutckyj Debuts)

Tom K — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 03:01:30 +0000

First off, Scranton reliever Romulo Sanchez has been placed on the disabled list. Sanchez has a legit shot to make it to the Yankees sometime in September, so let’s hope it isn’t too serious. —————————- Scranton: Lance Pendleton threw seven shutout innings, while Juan Miranda drove in a couple of runs with a double in [...]

Minors Report for 8/25/10 (David Phelps; Adam Warren; Preston Claiborne; Jose Pirela; Brett Marshall is Sizzling)

Tom K — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 02:57:35 +0000

Scranton: David Phelps pitched six strong innings to help lead Scranton to a 3-2 victory. Phelps, who didn’t get the decision, allowed two runs on four hits. He walked two and struck out five. In ten starts for Scranton, he is 3-2 with a 3.45 ERA (57.1 IP, 63 H, 11 BB, 48 K, 4 [...]

Minors Report for 8/24/10 (DJ Mitchell Debuts for Scranton; Dellin Betances Debuts for Trenton; Austin Romine; JR Murphy)

Tom K — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:38:58 +0000

Scranton: DJ Mitchell made his debut tonight and got knocked around a bit, but Scranton was able to overcome that in a come from behind 5-4 victory. Mitchell went 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on 11 hits. He walked two and struck out four. He threw three shutout innings to start the game, then went [...]

Minors Report for 8/23/10 (Rainouts Rule the Night; Manny Banuelos Debuts in Trenton; Slade Heathcott; Kyle Roller)

Tom K — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:49:57 +0000

Scranton: Postponed. ——————— Trenton: Manny Banuelos made his Trenton debut tonight, and it was a little shaky as Kyle Drabek completely shut down Trenton, 6-0. Banuelos went 5.2 innings, allowing all six runs on seven hits. He walked three, struck out six, and allowed two home runs in the losing effort. Double-A is always an [...]

Minors Report for 8/22/10 (Daniel Brewer; Andrew Brackman; Craig Heyer; Bradley Suttle; Melky Mesa)

Tom K — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 02:04:09 +0000

Scranton: Rained out. Scranton is 76-51, seven games ahead of Buffalo. It will take a 2007 Mets like collapse for them to not make the International League playoffs. ————————————————— Trenton: Trenton is also 76-51, 3.5 games up on New Hampshire. More importantly, the top two teams from each division make the playoffs, and Trenton is [...]

Minors Report for 8/21/10 (Jesus Montero Goes BOOM!; Hector Noesi; Austin Romine; Daniel Brewer; Graham Stoneburner; Thomas Kahlne)

Tom K — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:55:51 +0000

As a whole, the six clubs I keep an eye on gave up a total of six runs tonight. Not all of the pitching performances came from top prospects (Kei Igawa started in Scranton, for crying out loud), but Hector Noesi & Graham Stoneburner were amongst the contributors Scranton: Jesus Montero to the rescue! Scranton [...]

Minors Report for 8/20/10 (Brandon Laird; Daniel Brewer; Slade Heatchott; Brett Marshall is Rolling; Mason Williams Debut)

Tom K — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:01:52 +0000

Scranton: A nice night overall for the offense, as they banged out 15 hits in a 7-5 win over Columbus. Brandon Laird had two of those hits, and drove in two runs. He has now driven in 99 runs on the season. Chad Huffman had two more hits, and drove in two runs of his [...]

Yankees Send Zach McAllister to Cleveland

Tom K — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:00:30 +0000

Coming into the 2010 season, most people believed Zach McAllister was the Yankees’ most-ready pitching prospect. Coming off of a strong 2009 season in Trenton, McAllister was only 22 years old coming into the season…and pitching in Triple-A. That’s an impressive feat. But after his big 2009 campaign – 7-5, 2.23 ERA, 121 IP, 98 [...]

Minors Report for 8/19/10 (David Phelps; DJ Mitchell; Jose Pirela; Zolio Almonte; Dellin Betances; Jairo Heredia; Rob Segedin; Various Minor League Debuts)

Tom K — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:34:46 +0000

Scranton: A four-run ninth inning (sparked by a 3-run home run by Chad Huffman) helped Scranton pull out a 9-5 victory. David Phelps threw well through five innings, but had a rough sixth. He ended up going six innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits. He walked two and struck out four. Phelps [...]

Minors Report for 8/18/10 (Adam Warren Strikes out 15; Jesus Montero Homers; Rob Segedin Smashes First Professional Home Run)

Tom K — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:43:39 +0000

As usual, special nights always go on top…so we’ll start in Trenton tonight: ———————————— Trenton: Adam Warren threw his best game to date (and that is saying something) as Trenton shutout Bowie, 3-0. Warren went seven innings, allowing two hits while walking one and striking out 15. That is not a typo – he struck [...]

Minors Report for 8/17/10 (Andrew Brackman; Sean Black; Slade Heathcott; Gary Sanchez; Anderson Feliz)

Tom K — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:50:05 +0000

Scranton: Nothing like a 5-1 loss to keep prospects out of the spotlight. Jesus Montero did collect a hit, as did Eduardo Nunez. Zach McAllister continues to cement his name as one of the most disappointing prospects of 2010, pitching five innings, giving up four runs on seven hits. He walked two and struck out [...]

Minors Report for 8/16/10 (Late Draft Signings; Melky Mesa; Zolio Almonte; Deangelo Mack; Gary Sanchez)

Tom K — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:56:20 +0000

Draft Update: Not much to report as the signing deadline nears. As of this moment, 4th rounder Mason Williams just signed..supposedly for $1.45 million. Williams is a very highly regarded high-schooler, who had a commitment to USC. You can probably scratch off Josh Dezse, which is a major loss for the Yankees in my opinion. [...]

Minors Report for 8/15/10 (Hector Noesi; Graham Stoneburner; Jose Pirela; Pat Venditte; JR Murphy; Brett Marshall)

Tom K — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:36:44 +0000

Scranton: Scranton outhit Toledo, 12-8 today…but lost the game where it matters, 7-4. Kevin Russo went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, while Colin Curtis went 2-for-3 with a home run in the loss. Jesus Montero went 1-for-5 with a run batted in (.285/.357/.489). Eduardo Nunez was in the original lineup, but was scratched when his [...]

Minors Report for 8/14/10 (David Phelps; George Kontos; Kyle Roller; Robert Lylerly; Slade Heathcott)

Tom K — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 03:10:20 +0000

After a big night on Friday, a bit of a less exciting night on Saturday. Scranton: David Phelps pitched seven innings of strong baseball, while Colin Curtis went 3-for-5 to help lead Scranton to a 7-3 victory. Phelps allowed two runs on six hits. He walked nobody and struck out six to improve to 3-2 [...]

Tom K — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 03:10:20 +0000

Minors Report for 8/13/10 (JR Murphy has HUGE game; Slade Heathcott; Ivan Nova; DJ Mitchell; Daniel Brewer; Dellin Betances; Melky Mesa; Thomas Kahnle)

Tom K — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 03:04:27 +0000

Some strong pitching throughout the organization tonight…and some great hitting at the lower levels as well. As you can see from the subject line, an impressive night pretty much all around. ———————————————————————————————————————————– Charleston: And for tonight, we will start in a Single-A league, since one player had a special night there. Charleston put up 18 [...]

Minors Report for 8/12/10 (Daniel Brewer; Manny Banuelos; JR Murphy; Kelvin DeLeon)

Tom K — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:11:32 +0000

Scranton: Rained out. —————————— Trenton: Daniel Brewer went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases, but it wasn’t enough as Trenton took a 5-3 loss. Brewer is now hitting .258/.340/.391 with 28 doubles, eight home runs, 60 RBI, 65 runs, and 26 steals in 34 attempts. The 23-year old right-handed outfielder is 14-for-32 in [...]

Minors Report for 8/11/10 (Andrew Brackman; Austin Romine; Marcos Vechionacci; Zolio Almonte)

Tom K — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 02:58:15 +0000

Scranton: Juan Miranda went 2-for-3 with a double, triple, walk, and two runs scored but it was not nearly enough as Buffalo crushed Scranton, 10-4. Jesus Montero went 1-for-4 with a double (28) and a walk in the loss. On the hill, Zack McAllister had a good strikeout night at least. He went six innings, [...]
