Minor League Recap, 4/25

Written by Greg Fertel | 25 April 2008

• Steven White started and was brilliant. In 6 innings, he allowed a single run on 4 hits, and 3 walks, striking out 7 in the process. He threw 99 pitches, 58 for strikes, and he also had a 6-5 GBO-FBO ratio.
• Sean Henn struck out one in his one inning of shutout relief. Despite all the struggles he had last year with the big league club, I would still take him over Billy Traber anyday.
• Jose Veras notched his 7th save although it did not come easy. He allowed a hit and a walk before closing out the game. Nonetheless, he was able to get out of the jam, and was able to lower his ERA to 1.64 on the season.
• Eric Duncan was 1 for 2 with a walk, raising his average to .250. It's creeping up gradually, but he's getting there.
• Juan Miranda was 2 for 4 with a double and a RBI.
• Jason Lane was hitless in his 4 ABs.
• Brett Gardner was 1 for 3 with a walk.

• Dan McCutchen got the start, and he was absolutely filthy. He 7 innings, he allowed a run on a hit and a walk. That was great no doubt, but what was trully amazing was that McCutch was able struck out 12 batters in the process. Oh yeah, he also had a 7-3 GBO-FBO ratio. He was able to lower his ERA to 1.42 on the season. I honestly can't see how he can make another start at Trenton as he's been absolutely dominating Double-A hitting. Hopefully, the Yankees will promote him to Scranton ASAP.

• Colin Curtis was 0 for 2 with a walk.
• Austin Jackson was 1 for 4 with a walk.
