06/12: We're Going Streaking
Posted by: James
Marcos Vechionacci over his last 10 games (including tonight): 19 for 41. That's a .463 average folks. Also, in his last two games, he's 6 for 9 with 5 doubles and 1 triple. In tonight's game, he's probably raised his OPS from .655 to .735 or so (this is a guess right now). That's a pretty nice jump in just one game, huh?
It's good to see Vech start to hit - he got hurt early in the year and so he's working his way back. His glove is considered great so seeing his bat start to heat up can only mean good things for the soon to be 21 year old third baseman at High-A Tampa. Check out E.J.'s old profile of Vech (his #16 Yankee prospect) if you need more of a background on the kid.
Also, Jeff Marquez continues to do very well in AA Trenton. Tonight's line: 7 inning complete game, 5 hits, 1 unearned run, 1 walk and 6Ks. Fun fact: Marquez was picked by the Yanks in 2004 in the first round supplemental round. How did they get that pick? They lost Type-A free agent David Wells.
Update: In the second game of the double-header, Joba Chamberlain has taken the mound for his first start at AA Trenton. Suffice it to say that he is DEALING. Here's his line for the night: 5 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks and 9 strikeouts with a 4-2 GB-FB ratio. With Ian Kennedy's last performance...and the track record these guys are bringing to AA, this could be a very interesting summer in Trenton.
