Minors Report 4/16/11 (Postponements; Ryan Flannery; JR Murphy)

Scranton and Trenton were both rained out today. Tampa: The offense was clicking tonight for Tampa, but the pitching was a completely different story in a 9-7 loss to Dunedin. Kyle Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs scored to lead the offense. Higashioka (20, C) is hitting .182 on the

Jesus Montero is Cruising; Brackman’s First Start

Scranton: I wonder how long the Yankees will be able to keep Jesus Montero in the minor leagues. It’s only a handful of games, but Montero put up a 3-for-5 night with a pair of doubles, while Jorge Vazquez contributed four hits of his own to go along with two runs batted in as Scranton

Andy Pettitte Fill-In Options

With Joe Girardi’s announcement that Andy is heading to the disabled list and Brian Cashman announcing it may be at least 3-4 weeks, the Yankees will need to come up with a starting pitcher for at least the next three turns around the rotation. The first roster move will probably involve Andy going to the

Minors Report for 7/16/10 (More Jesus Montero; Adam Warren; Austin  Romine; Manny Banuelos; Jimmy Paredes 30-30 Club)

Looks like Alan Horne was able to avoid surgery and is once again trying to rehab his way back into the organization. It’s a long shot, but you can’t hope but root for the kid. Scranton: To say Jesus Montero is on fire is actually a bit of an understatement. Montero went 2-for-4 with a

Minors Report for 6/30/10 (Austin Rome; Reymond Nunez)

Not too much going on tonight, as Tampa had their double-header postponed and Charleston’s game was also postponed. I do wonder how many rainouts Tampa has this season. Scranton: Scranton put up a fight by scoring three runs in the 9th inning, but it wasn’t enough as they took a 6-5 loss. Jesus Montero went
