SS Teams Sunday: Bklyn Outslugs Yanks

By Toby Hyde on 27. Jul, 2009

SSA: Brooklyn Cyclones 10, @ Staten Island Yankees 9

Minor league baseball is fun, but it’s not the big leagues: Staten Island committed seven errors!

cycloneshatBrandon Moore (4.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 HR) was not especially sharp.

LF Nick Santomauro was 1-4 with his third homer, and second in as many nights.  DH Dock Doyle also added two hits.  Twenty-four year old 3B Tyler Vaughn was 2-5 with an RBI to push his line to .364/.382/.455 in nine games with Brooklyn.

Rookie (APP): Elizabethton Twins 6, @ Kingsport Mets 3

Through five innings, Yohan Almonte held a 3-1 and had given up just one run on four hits with six strikeouts.  However, Elizabethton touched him for four more hits and two runs to begin the sixth, and chase the 19-year-old from the game.

RF Cesar Puello (.281/.340/.438) smacked his third homerun of the year in a 1-5 effort that also included his second walk of the year.  That’s two walks in 89 AB over 21 games.  Puello maintains his .340 OBP on the strength of six HBP.

Rookie (GCL): GCL Nationals 11, @ GCL Mets 0

Maybe the DL is safer for you after all: rehabbing Sal Aguilar gave up 11 runs on ten hits and a walk in three innings.  He also gave up two HR.

    toby is puello’s undisciplined eye at the plate something to worry about? or is it too early in his career..?

      Both. It’s impossible to be a successful MLB OF walking every 10 games. On the other hand, he’s very young, so he certainly has a chance to improve.

        Jeff Francouer would be to differ with you Toby ;-)

        And the Brooklyn pitcher was so bad he does not get a name?

    The Cyclones pitcher was B. Moore

    and Sal Aguilar is just emulating his B-Mets counterparts Brown and Ruckle…
