Another week is in the books. Let’s take a look at how the trade chips, I mean minor league teams did this week.

AAA- Scranton Wilkes Barre

Scranton finished the week on a five game winning streak. Even without the injured Aaron Judge, Scranton now has a two game divisional lead.

Hitter of the Week- Ben Gamel continues to be all sorts of awesome in AAA. The 23 year old had four multi- hit games including a three RBI game this past Saturday. Gamel is sixth in Total Bases and 10th in OPS.

Runner Up- Jose Pirela. All He has done since going back down to AAA is hit and play all over the place and yet he can’t crack a spot on the major league roster. Pirela had three multi-hit games, drove in six and is hitting .368 in his past 10 games. No big deal.

Pitcher of the Week- Kyle Davies

Davies picked up a win this week and was pretty solid in his two starts this week. In 13 innings, he did walk seven, but he only gave up five hits and one earned run in those starts. The 31 year old has been okay in AAA this season and has given the Yankees some good depth there.

Runner Up- Bryan Mitchell

Mitchell was finally sent back to AAA to start and all he did was go five innings, strike out seven and give up two runs and pick up a win.
