The minors tonight.

AAA: The Yanks will be calling up Preston Claiborne to fill Joba’s place on the team while Joba is on the DL. Claiborne, a 25-yr.-old RHP, was 0-0, 3.48 for SWB so far this year with 3 saves. 10 K in 10 1/3. Last year for AA Trenton and AAA SWB, he was a combined 6-2, 2.96, 6 saves, 78 K in 82 IP.

Luckily nothing was wrong with Mustelier, he just went right to AAA. It was strange how they did it though. Started for A+ last night, pulled after one inning and no at bats. You think he’d have played longer and at least received one AB before switching.

SWB won 4-1 tonight. Brett Marshall 7 scoreless IP. Mustelier 3B, 0 for 3 with a walk in his first game (full game, that is) after coming off the DL. RF Addison Maruszak double and 2 RBI. 2 H, triple, and an RBI for CF Melky Mesa.

AA: 2-1 win for Trenton. Nik Turley 6 IP, 1 R, 2 H and 8 K. LF Ramon Flores 2 H, double, RBI. 2 doubles, RBI for C Nick McCoy.

High A: Tampa lost 8-0, getting just five hits and striking out 11x. Corey Black went 5, 3 R and 11 K.

Low A: Charleston got shut out 6-0. Dan Camarena 6 R, 4 ER in 4 IP. C Pete O’Brien and DH Rey Nunez 2 hits each.

 

Just a note. You are free to comment, but I do delete all spam. Keep it intelligent and keep it (for kid’s sake) CLEAN.

The minors today

AAA: SWB lost 5-4. I have to wonder when we take the prospect label off of Dellin Betances and admit he is a flop. 4 R in the 1st inning. 5 R in 4 IP. Maybe the Yanks should just cut him. 3B Dave Adams 2 H, solo HR. DH Dan Johnson 2 H, 2 RBI. CF Melky Mesa 3 H, solo HR.

AA: Trenton lost a slugfest, 15-14. I guess Erie went for 2 (LOL). Matt Tracy 10 R in 3 IP. Ugh. C J.R. Murphy with THREE HR, 5 RBI (4 H). 1B Kyle Roller 2 H, HR, 3 RBI. 3B Rob Segedin, 3 h, TWO SOLO HR. LF Ramon Flores, 2 H, 2 RBI.

High A: A lot of bats tonight in the minors. Tampa won 13-7. Mikey O’Brien 7 R 5 er in 2 IP. After that the bullpen did great. C Gary Sanchez continued to stay hot, 3 H (3 for 4, 2 walks), HR, 3 RBI. 2 doubles 3 RBI for 3B Anderson Feliz. LF Ben Gamel 2 triples and 3 walks.  SS Carmen Angelini 3 H, rbi.

Low A: Charleston lost 8-6. Jose Campos 2 R,, 1 ER in 3 IP. Evan Rutckyj 6 R in 4 IP (good hitting throughout tonight, but the pitching…)

The minors today.

AAA: SWB won 1-0. Chris Bootcheck (6), Mark Montgomery (2) and Cody Eppley (1) a combined 5-hit shutout. (Note: Bootcheck is not a prospect. He’s 34, has pitched in 90 MLB games, 87 in relief. 3-7, 6.54). 2 hits each for CF Melky Mesa and RF Thomas Neal.
