[農場] Notes from winter ball

[Tukiyomi (月讀)]

Trying to build on a solid but injury shortened Triple-A season, David Phelps
first three Arizona Fall League starters were uninspiring. He allowed three
earned runs each time, never throwing more than 3.1 innings. His past two
outings have been more what the Yankees were hoping to see.

In his past two starts, Phelps has pitched nine innings, allowing two runs on
six hits and one walk while striking out seven. And that’s without throwing
more than 67 pitches.

Phelps is one of those guys who was brought in to observe late in the season.
The Yankees clearly believe he can play a role next season, and his Fall
League stint is about building a few more innings before shutting things down
for the winter.

‧ Speaking of young starters: Hector Noesi keeps getting better in the
Dominican. After two not-so-great outings, Noesi pitched six innings without an
earned run in his most recent start. He struck out five, walked one and dropped
his winter ERA to 3.38 through three starts.

‧ Ronnier Mustelier, the utility man from Cuba, continues to hit in the Fall
League. He’s batting .390/.405/.610 while playing third base (played mostly
outfield and second base in Tampa this season). He’s new to the Yankees farm
system, and a little old for a low-level prospect, but so far he’s been a
steady hitter.

‧ Jorge Vazquez, the Yankees slugging Triple-A first baseman, is hitting
.320/.400/.587 through 75 at-bats in Mexico. He has 21 RBI and 23 strikeouts.
That’s pretty much the kind of hitter he is.

‧ Outside of the Arizona Fall League, there are only four Yankees with more
than 20 winter at-bats. One of them is Vazquez. The other three are Jose Gil
(an organizational catcher), Luis Nunez (an organizational infielder) and Jose
Pirela (a borderline shortstop prospect). Pirela didn’t do much in Double-A
this season, but he’s hitting .389/.421/.500 in Venezuela.

‧ Corban Joseph has a modest four-game hitting streak in the Fall League. He’
s been kind of up-and-down in Arizona.

‧ Ramiro Pena has played in one game in Mexico. He went 1-for-4.

‧ Reliever Chase Whitley is a fast riser in the Yankees system, and he has
nine strikeouts with one walk in his past seven Fall League outings. That’s a
total of 9.1 innings in those appearances. Opponents are hitting .178 against
him, and that’s usually an offensive league.

‧ Class-A reliever Dan Burawa is getting knocked around in Arizona. He was
charged with five earned runs today and has a 9.00 ERA through 10 appearances.
He’s been charged with multiple runs in each of his past three outings.

‧ Nine of Pat Venditte‘s 12 appearances in Mexico have been scoreless, but he
’s twice allowed multiple runs, pushing his ERA to 4.15. More telling is the
fact hitters are batting .238 with 11 strikeouts and just one walk against him.
