Since I have had some requests and inquiries about a hitter who had a high batting average this year at Trenton:

Devyn Bolasky, 25, Bats and throws lefty. Just promoted to SWB from Trenton. Yes, he was hitting .365 at AA, but in just 38 games, and he has no power. .365-0-11. He isn’t speedy, either, since he has 0 SB. In 272 minor league games, he has a .272 batting average, but has hit just 3 HR and has stolen just 25 bases. Last year, with 4 different minor league teams, from Low A to AAA, he hit just .235-2-26 with just 2 SB. So I am not sold on him yet. Because he was hitting in the .380s a few weeks ago, some people were asking me about him.

In the majors: The Yanks won’t have to worry about Mike Moustakas this weekend anymore. KC traded him to Milwaukee. Meanwhile the Mets traded Asdrubal Cabrera to the Phillies.  Astros get Ryan Pressley from the Twins to help their bullpen.

 

Minor League Report.

A couple of minor leaguers are gone, as the Yanks traded Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers and Cody Carroll to Baltimore for Zack Britton. See my other post regarding that. The deal should be finalized tomorrow.

AAA: SWB was losing 2-1 in the third when the game was suspended due to rain.

AA: Tate was scheduled to start this game but was scratched. Trenton (55-46) won 1-0. 1B Ryan McBroom with the RBI. RF Devyn Bolasky, DH Zack Zehner, SS Kyle Holder and C Jorge Saez 2 hits each.
