Minor League Games Thread - Saturday, June 30

I have been having some computer problems. I don't know that I will keep posting the schedules. I don't guess that they are important, anyway.

The Memphis Redbirds are at New Orleans Zephyrs @ 6PM.
Probables: Tomo Ohka vs Philip Humber.
Will they continue the losing streak as they go on the road?

I went last night. I don't think Hawksworth can throw over 91 MPH. He had a good game pitching out of trouble. The pitching was good. Hanson and Ankiel made 2 good fielding plays. Ankiel has won few games hitting,while leading the PCL in homers. I think he has lost quite a few looking very bad with his bat. I don't think he should be moved up, except at the end of the season.

The Springfield Cardinals are at Frisco Rough Riders @ 7PM.
Probable: Mitchell Boggs. I have seen on 3 different lists 3 different pitchers for Frisco. I don't know how they get 3 different pitchers on the mound at the same time. A difficult arrangement for sure. The batters will have to be very careful dodging 3 baseballs at the same time.

In looking thru some of the lower level stats - put this guy on you radar from the VSL Cards-

Minor League Baseball: Stats: Player

the 17 year old is leading the VSL in lowest ERA 0.74 is 3rd in lowest WHIP 0.85 in 36 innings he has 38K and has given up only 17 hits.

Coop · June 30th, 2007, 11:13 AM

Thanks Jim.
Very impressive.

In the home edition of Commercial Appeal they had Redbird Postgame which wasn't online, today.

It mentions Tm Raines Jr.'s pinch hit off Kelvin Jiminez driving in the losing run.
Hawksworth's impressive game.
Sizzlin' Mather's home run that I forgot to post. Our only run.
Fizzlin' Ankiel.
Tomo Ohka has agreed to stay with Memphis 2 more starts.
They are waiting to see if Stinnett will report to Memphis.

Pagnozzi caught last night. I was glad, but teams run on anybody we have, often without a throw. Three catchers listed on the roster, but we need a carcher who can hit and throw.

BleacherBum593 · June 30th, 2007, 11:47 AM

Coop - Could it be that the runners are getting huge jumps on the pitcher and therefore no throws by the catcher? Something for you to keep an eye on.

Coop · June 30th, 2007, 02:29 PM

You are right. Our pitchers are not good holding the runners.

Thinking about it, there is very little our team is doing good.

It took Frisco a little longer to warm up all three of those starting pitcher for this game.

A lot of former 1st round and 1st round sandwich picks on the mound tonite - several impressive outings:

-Lambert was not one of the nice performances as he gaves up 3 runs in 1.2 innings of relief

Herron, Mortensen, and Ottavino were:

Palm Beach
Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Ottavino (W, 6-5) 6.0 6 0 0 0 5 0 2.78
HBP: Holden (by Ottavino), Dorn (by Ottavino).
Ground outs-fly outs: Ottavino 9-4,

Quad Cities
Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Herron (W, 8-4) 6.0 3 1 1 0 10 0 3.06
Ground outs-fly outs:Herron 5-3,

Batavia
Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Mortensen (W, 1-0) 5.0 1 0 0 1 4 0 0.90
Ground outs-fly outs:Mortensen 9-2,

Perez with a save at AA

Boggs with a solid out to get the win at AA

Norrick with a win in the other half of PB doubleheader

Here is a 19 year old in the GCL league to keep an eye on - last year in the DSL he k'd 63 in only 44 innings - so far in 2 outings for GCL he has yet to be scored on -

GCL Cardinals
Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Rosales 4.0 2 0 0 1 5 0 0.00
HBP: Booker (by Rosales).
Ground outs-fly outs:Rosales 2-3,

Lot of shuffling in the minors the last few days
Degerman is promoted to Palm Beach. And Quad Cities is going to the traditional 5 man rotation - Hernandez, Furnish, Dickson, Garceau & Herron.
King has been sent down to Batavia. Jason Cairns has been activated off the DL.

The hot bat at Batavia, Steven Hill was promoted to QC, along with reliever Marco Gonzalez. Charlie Pelt was moved up to Batavia from Johnson City, along with JC closer Pete Parise.

Johnson City has signed P Ray Silva out of the Univ of Texas-PanAm. They also called up draftees Joey Hage and Tony Cruz from the GCL club, while sending light-hitting (so far) draftee Brian Buck down to GCL.

BleacherBum593 · July 1st, 2007, 09:02 AM

Jim - I went back and checked out the Top Prospect lists that ArRedbird and I put together back in January. I had Rosales at #30.

I missed out on a few players - Mather and Walters - for sure. My own saving grace on Mather is that I picked him to have a breakout year, along with Webber, on another thread.

And my pick as "Comeback Player of the Year" is doing me proud - Kyle McClellan.

I think I'll go back and update my Top 40 this week. (Probably will exclude this year's draft choices till I can get a better handle on them).
