http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/g...wbaaa_noraaa_1 says Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's "Greg Golson bunt grounds out sharply to first baseman Brandon Snyder." It must be rare for a player to bunt sharply. Juan Miranda just hit his fifth home run in the top of the second at Norfolk for the first run of the game.

Brackman

4 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K.

Montero continues to struggle. 0-2 so far.

[Philip Hughes Fan]

On the plus side, he's thrown out both attempted base stealers so far.

[bmxstreetrider86]

PHF you keeping track of SB/CS numbers?

[SLURPEE]

0-3 with 2ks. I'm listening to the game and it sounds like he's not adjusting to the off-speed/breaking stuff.

1 WP was the only negative there. I am happy with that outing. He is really surprising me with the low walk totals so far.

Who is finally going to get their shot in AAA with Melancon up? Duff, Schmidt, or Wordekemper? Maybe Arias or WDR? I think it will be Duff, but I can imagine the Yankees moving Wordekemper up.

Then the top options for Tampa to Trenton are Venditte, Olbrychowski, Rulon, or Bartleski. I'd say Olbrychowski would most likely move up first out of that group.
No one needs to move from Charleston to Tampa. It will be Tim Norton placed on that roster. I don't know why he is the one that the Yankees keep putting in Staten Island.

EDIT: Another possibility from Tampa to Trenton is Noesi which would move Pendleton to the pen.

Grote was injured in the game a couple nights ago before getting an at bat so he will go to the DL with Francisco Rondon. Justin Milo and Dickson Marquez take their spots.

[ARoDfan4life]

Why isn't Golson getting called up? Why is Winn and Thames platooning LF when we need defense and some pop and neither of them have it?

[Buzah!]

Cause they need bullpen help tomorrow in Girardi's opinion.

So when Thames is letting routine singles turn into gamebreakers and Randy Winn is swinging 0 for forever...do we judge GI Joe's opinion then? They are going to have Hughes, CC, AJ, Andy next...why against the Orioles would I be worried about the 3rd tier BP help? Not even the Red Sox make me worried for that since thier BP is just as bad.

The Orioles can still swing the bats despite their rough start to the season as the Red Sox are finding out. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if another roster move takes place this week in which a pitcher is taken off in favor of an outfielder.

[ARoDfan4life]

We need an OF, preferably one that's not nearing his 40's and can swing the bat a bit and steal bases, candyman, Greg Golson should be up here.

[Yankee Steve]

Marcus Thames, no pop? What does the guy need to do, against lefties, anyhow? THere will be another roster move. Hughes goes today and he likely won't go beyond 6 innings. Both Mitre and Aceves are not available and Robertson has been awful. Makes sense to get another reliever up, at least for today. I think Joe knows what he's doing.

He can't field.

[bmxstreetrider86]

ugh romine not in the lineup again for trenton


ramirez went 6-2-1-1-3 last night too, season thus far has been very impressive

[sjkqw]

Not to turn this into an mlb discussion, but he did just make the diving catch

[sjkqw]

Jairo Heredia hit 3 batters in 3 innings giving up 4 hits so far. 1 BB, 1K. 3 unearned runs.
His Line: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
Jairo's ERA is at 6.86. Two more good starts should fix that and then I'll be looking for the control to improve. Some ore strikeouts wouldn't hurt either.

David Phelps: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Tim Norton will join SWB until Tuesday at minimum when Whelan can come off the DL. After he will probably go back to Staten Island. I just wish he could get some consistent PT.

[SLURPEE]

Curious to know when Romine will start getting looks in the outfield. If he continues to hit throughout the year how is he going to get a promotion with Montero at AAA?

[bmxstreetrider86]

the yankees arent gonna have romine learn to play the OF just so they can promote him to AAA. he needs a year of catching full time

[Rocketbooster]

Is he hurt? I thought he played last night and hit a HR.

[Optimistic]

Tim wasn't in Staten Island and most assuredly won't be going there.

[Yankees1962]

Is he hurt? I thought he played last night and hit a HR.

Players and especially catchers do get a day off without an injury being involved.

[ajra21]

kevin russo is hitting well again i see, along with a very good OBP. what are the chances of him playing a part in new york overe the next few years, or is he likely to be traded?
