The Official 2012-2013 Yankees Prospect Thread

[TrueYankee]

"True" fans also follow their minor league system and I think we as a whole are starting to recognize that.

As for Mason...he will be back. Less of an impact for a position player.

Mason Williams has left the hospital, his surgery went well.

Funny how much Brackman and Betances have fallen off the ship. The hyped up B's that's for sure.

Hopefully Banuelos does not join that group

[YEDN90]

It's always the non hyped ones that do well for us.

It’s Friday, so I’m going to take the easy way out tonight…


Triple-A Empire State (loss): They only had three hits as a team — a single by C Frankie Cervelli and doubles by 3B Kevin Russo and LF Ronnie Mustelier. That was it. LHP Mike O’Connor allowed one run in 5.1 innings and RHP Cory Wade allowed an unearned run in 1.2 innings. Not a good game for the displaced SWB club.


Double-A Trenton (win): LF Jose Pirela had three hits including a double and the just promoted CF Adonis Garcia had four hits (including two doubles) in his Thunder debut. RF Zoilo Almonte hit a homer, C J.R. Murphy a double. LHP Vidal Nuno struck out nine in five innings, walking a pair and allowing three hits. RHP Kelvin Perez allowed one run and struck out three in two innings, a bump in the road of an otherwise dominant season.


High-A Tampa (win): DH Kyle Higashioka and 1B Kyle Roller each homered and drove in a pair while C Gary Sanchez and 2B Jose Toussen both doubled. The last three all had two hits. CF Ramon Flores went hitless in four at-bats and RF Tyler Austin singled. RHP Zach Nuding allowed a pair of runs in 6.2 innings, striking out five and walking one. LHP Jeremy Bleich chipped in two perfect innings with three strikeouts.


Low-A Charleston (win): They had five hits as a team and all five were singles, including RBI shots by 1B Saxon Butler and 3B Dante Bichette Jr. The others came from SS Cito Culver, RF Rob Refsnyder, and 2B Jamiel Orozco. Refsnyder stole two bases as well. RHP Phil Wetherell was stretched out to five innings, allowing one run on five hits and no walks while striking out six. The game was completed after six innings due to the weather.


Short Season Staten Island (loss): They had a dozen hits as a team but only one was for extra bases — a triple by SS Claudio Custodio: 1B Matt Snyder, CF Ravel Santana, 3B Matt Duran, and 2B Jose Rosario all had two singles apiece. RHP Corey Black allowed one run on four hits and a walk in six innings, striking out five while hitting 97 on the gun.


Rookie GCL Yanks (win): SS Austin Aune doubled twice and this year’s second rounder is up to .304/.400/.443 on the season. RF Yeicok Calderon, 3B Dalton Smith, and 2B Jake Anderson all had singles while C David Remedios homered. RHP Gio Gallegos threw two scoreless innings and has now started his career with a 16/1 K/BB in 16 scoreless innings. RHP Rookie Davis threw 2.2 scoreless in his return from a minor arm ailment.

Good to see Saxon Butler promotion to Charleston. Even better seeing him off to a hot start!

Triple-A Empire State (7-2 loss to Indianapolis)

1B Kosuke Fukudome: 1-2, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K

RHP Ramon Ortiz: 7 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 14/1 GB/FB – 56 of 90 pitches were strikes (62%)
RHP Cory Wade: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 2/1 GB/FB — 18 of 32 pitches were strikes (56%) … first disaster outing since being demoted two months ago

SS Addison Maruszak: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 2 K
3B David Adams: 3-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI – first big game with the bat in a while, wonder if the trial at the hot corner is hindering his offense
DH Zoilo Almonte: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 HBP
1B Luke Murton: 0-5, 1 K
RF Kevin Mahoney: 0-3, 3 K, 1 HBP

RHP Brett Marshall: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 8/3 GB/FB — 53 of 85 pitches were strikes (62%) … he’s at 130 IP after throwing 140.1 IP last year, so they might start capping his outings at 5 IP until playoff time given their big (seven games) lead in the division
RHP Ryan Pope: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 13 of 20 pitches were strikes
LHP Francisco Rondon: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 13 of 19 pitches were strikes

SS Cito Culver: 1-4, 2 K
1B Rey Nunez: 1-2, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Everyone Else: combined 0-19, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K — 3B Dante Bichette Jr. drew the walk and scored the run
RHP Bryan Mitchell: 5 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 4 WP, 2 HB, 1 Balk, 10/3 GB/FB, 1 E (throwing) — that looks like the ugliest five innings you could imagine
RHP Adam Smith: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1/0 GB/FB — maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like there have been way more BB>K outings in the farm system this season than usual
LHP Fred Lewis & LHP Dan Mahoney: both 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K — Lewis had 1/1 GB/FB, Mahoney 2/0


Short Season Staten Island (10-3 loss to Lowell)

LF Taylor Dugas: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI
SS Claudio Custodio & SS Jose Rosario: both 0-2 — Custodio left the game for an unknown reason in the sixth and Rosario took over
1B Matt Snyder: 2-4 — 15 hits in his last 37 at-bats (.405)
CF Ravel Santana: 0-4, 2 K — he stole ten bases (in 13 attempts) in 41 games last year but hasn’t attempted even one in 34 games this year … gotta think that has something to do with the ankle, no?
C Wes Wilson, 2B Fu-Lin Kuo & 3B Matt Duran: all 1-4 — Kuo scored a run … Duran doubled
DH Isaias Tejeda: 0-3
RF Danny Lopez: 2-3, 1 R — seven hits in his last 15 at-bats (.467)

RHP Alex Smith: 0.2 IP, zeroes, 1/1 GB/FB


Rookie GCL Yanks and the rest of the league had their regular Sunday day of rest.

[LeoYankee]

Our AAA team is not good.

[dayners81]

Ah who could forget the days of Christian Garcia

why does someone always have to bring him up every few months, i start to forget about him then someone brings him up. The guy had incredible stuff, as good as i ve seen when he was healthy.

He injured it diving for a ball in the OF.

He's a top 50 prospect regardless. Plus there is 1 month left so I'm not too upset with this. One positive is that Heathcott should start getting more reps in CF. He's been hitting well lately.

I agree Mason still going to be a top 50 prospect, sucks he got hurt but he'll be fine next yr. Its not his throwing/power shoulder i doubt it effects his career long term.
Slade needs the reps anyway, we need to see if he;s still a legit prospect or not

Anyone know why Gumbs hasn't been in any box scores lately? is he hurt or just playing that badly?

I believe Gumbs has some sort of elbow injury.

[Decimotox]

Funny how much Brackman and Betances have fallen off the ship. The hyped up B's that's for sure.

Hopefully Banuelos does not join that group

Kinda makes you wish he would have been used in a trade, huh? We could have shipped him off when his value was high and gotten someone great! Oh well... you can't have that foresight in the moment.

[LeoYankee]

Manny officially shut down for season.

Super.
