While the Dodgers ponder their own starting rotation problems, there may be a trade afoot to address those of the Yankees, involving AAA Las Vegas pitcher Tanyon Sturtze. But according to Matt Youmans of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, there has been some confusion.
No Las Vegas starting pitcher is averaging more than six innings per outing. Besides Sturtze, Joel Hanrahan has the best numbers with a 4.15 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Hanrahan also has a single and home run in four at-bats.
Not much to celebrate on the offensive end of the 51s. In AA Jacksonville, your best bet is outfielder Jason Repko, a 1999 top draft pick who has an OPS of .853 and an Major League Equivalent Average of .245. Wilkin Ruan, by comparison, is at .469 and .137.
Franklin Gutierrez, traded to Cleveland with a player to be named later for Milton Bradley, is OPSing .922 for AAA Akron. His MLEQA is .261.
