Chad Tracy has apparently exercised his opt out clause and is no longer with Triple-A Scranton. Robby Hammock has rejoined the team following his rehab stint in the GCL, and his versatility will help ease the loss of Tracy. They still need to replace Mark Melancon; I’d like to see Ryan Pope get promoted. He’s been fantastic since moving to the bullpen and the Yanks need to see what he’s capable of before deciding whether or not to protect him from the 40-man roster after the season.
Here’s a great piece on Austin Romine. I’m pretty burnt out because of the trade deadline, so here’s a quick recap…
- Triple-A Scranton won. Jesus Montero went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles. Tim Redding dominated yet again with 8.1 innings of one run ball. Jon Albaladejo recorded the last two outs with ease.
- Double-A Trenton lost. Not much happened offensive with Romine resting; Dan Brewer singled. Andrew Brackman didn’t allow a baserunner until the 4th inning, but still managed to allow six runs in 5.1 IP.
- High-A Tampa won. Bradley Suttle and Corban Joseph both had multiple hits, but the night belonged to Melky Mesa, who had three hits includes a double and a homer. He’s now nine for his last 14 with three homers. Nothing exciting on the mound, just a scoreless inning from Pat Venditte.
- Low-A Charleston won. Slade Heathcott went hitless in three at-bats, but he did draw two walks. J.R. Murphy is certifiably en fuego with another two hits with Rob Lyerly and Luke Murton picked up three apiece. Brett Marshall gave up three runs in four innings.
- Short Season Staten Island lost. Eduardo Sosa and Kelvin DeLeon each picked up a single. Boring game on the mound.
- Rookie GCL Yanks lost. Cito Culver went 3-for-4 while Evan DeLuca struck out seven in four innings of work. That’s pretty much it, nothing too exciting.
