As the Yankees move closer to the end of the regular season it is time for a look at how the minor league affiliates are doing.
The Staten Island Yankees are having a bad season, going 28-39. One bright spot is Eric Jagielo, a Yankees rookie who has been hitting .272 with a very good .383 OBP and 5 homeruns with 24 RBI. Caleb Smith has also been doing well in his first year with a 1.89 ERA over 47 and two-thirds innings. He also has 52 strikeouts against only 15 walks.
The Charleston RiverDogs are doing well, with a 73-60 record, good for 3rd in the South Atlantic League's Southern Division. Gregory Bird has been the star of the team with 20 homeruns and is batting .291 with a spectacular .424 OBP. He also has a good .520 slugging percentage.
The Class-A Tampa Yankees have had an abysmal season with only a 54-74 record. Rob Refsnyder has a .413 OBP with 49 RBI.
The Double-A Trenton Thunder are 70-65. Gary Sanchez has a .323 OBP with 14 homeruns between Tampa and Trenton. He is one of the Yankees' top prospects. Fred Lewis has a 2.28 ERA through 43.1 innings with 39 strikeouts. He has only given up 20 walks.
The Scraton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are 65-73. Sam Demel has 1.88 ERA through 48.0 innings. He also has recorded 58 strikeouts after playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season.
Overall, the minor league affiliates for the Yankees are doing badly but have some bright spots that should be in the majors soon.
