Romine & Laird keep hitting, but Trenton can’t finish off the win

Let’s of notes today, so let’s break out the bullet points…

• Apparently J.R. Murphy was bumped up to Low-A Charleston so he could get used to playing under the lights and in actual stadiums before he joins Short Season Staten Island next month (subs. req’d). Can’t say I’ve seen that before.
• Amaury Sanit was suspended for 50 games for failing a performance enhancing drug test. He’s been on the disabled list for the last week or so, but he was getting knocked around before that (8.69 ERA, 6.25 FIP in 19.2 IP).
• Schaeffer Hall was promoted to High-A Tampa after laying a beatin’ on the Sally League (1.85 ERA, 2.52 FIP in 68 IP) in part due to being old for the level. I wouldn’t be surprised if Adam Warren got bumped up to Double-A Trenton as a follow-up move.
• Speaking of Warren, he’s one of five Tampa Yanks that were named to the Florida State League All-Star Team. The others are Hector Noesi (he won’t play because he’s in Trenton now), Mitch Abeita, Jack Rye, and Corban Joseph. Tampa’s entire coaching staff will call the shots for the North Division Team as well.
