Minor League Update (Since Wednesday)

AAA Scranton-WB

• Josh Kroeger: 3-13, 2B, RBI, BB, 2 K, CS (2)
• Danny Sandoval: 2-13, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, 2 K
• Brennan King: DL
• Carlos Ruiz: 2-12, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R, 3 BB, 2 K, PB (2)
• Chris Roberson: 2-3, 3B, R, BB, SB (13)
  
  
• Gavin Floyd: 3.1 IP 8 H 9 ER 2 BB 2 K (4 HBP)
• Ryan Cameron: 2.2 IP 1 H 0 ER 0 BB 2 K
• Brian Sanches (S, 9): 1.1 IP 0 H 0 ER 1 BB 3 K
• Eude Brito (L, 5-5): 8 IP 3 H 3 R 2 ER 2 BB 3 K

First, the bad news: Gavin Floyd has an ERA of 5.68 in 25.1 innings pitched after 4 AAA starts. The better news: Floyd's peripherals are encouraging - he has 24 strikeouts (and only 5 walks) in those 25.1 IP. Floyd's had two good starts in AAA and two bad starts in AAA. How his next start unfolds is anybody's guess...

AA Reading

• Michael Bourn: 5-17, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 4 R, 4 BB, 2 K
• Jason Jaramillo: 4-20, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R, BB, 2 K, picked off runner at second
• Angel Chavez: 6-22, HR, 2B, 3 RBI, 4 R, BB, 6 K, SB (4)

• Randy Wolf (L, 0-1): 3.2 IP 6 H 6 ER 2 BB 5 K
• Zack Segovia (L, 3-4): 6.2 IP 9 H 5 ER 1 BB 4 K
• Daniel Haigwood (W, 2-5): 5.1 IP 6 H 2 ER 3 BB 7 K
• Nick Evangelista (W, 2-0): 2 IP 1 H 0 ER 0 BB 1 K
• Gio Gonzalez (W, 4-7): 6 IP 4 H 1 ER 3 BB 7 K

Michael Bourn had a great week, the kid is a future big leaguer one way or another...I was in Reading for Zack Segovia's most recent start, I think his future lies in the bullpen (just a hunch)...the one big negative of my trip to Reading was not seeing Nick Evangelista come in from the bullpen...

High A Clearwater

• Mike Costanzo: 1-14, 2B, R, BB, 4 K, SB (1), 2 E (10)
• Brad Harman: 2-12, R, 3 K, E (23)
• Bryan Hansen: 2-11, RBI, 2 BB, K, E (6)
• Tuffy Gosewisch: 2-11, 2B, R, BB, 4 K, 2 E (4)
• Tim Moss: 4-15, 2 RBI, 3 K, SB (2)
  
  
• Derek Griffith: 7.1 IP 4 H 1 ER 2 BB 2 K
• Andrew Baldwin: 7 IP 5 H 3 ER 1 BB 3 K
• J.A. Happ: 6 IP 5 H 2 ER 3 BB 4 K

Rough week for the Threshers hitters, the pressure is really on Tim Moss (recently demoted from AA Reading) to light it up for Clearwater and reclaim his spot as a legit big league prospect... The hitting may stink, but the Clearwater pitching remains top notch...

Low A Lakewood

• Greg Golson: 4-13, 2B, R, 2 K, 2 CS (5)
• Welinson Baez: 0-9, BB, 4 K
• Lou Marson: N/A
• Jeremy Slayden: 0-7, R, BB, 2 K
• Clay Harris: 4-11, HR, 2B, 3 RBI, R, BB, 3 K

• Pat Overholt: 2 IP 2 H 0 ER 1 BB 2 K
• Andy Barb (S, 10): 1 IP 0 H 0 ER 0 BB 1 K
• Maximino De La Cruz (L, 4-2): 5 IP 7 H 4 ER 3 BB 2 K
• Justin Blaine: 3 IP 4 H 2 ER 0 BB 3 K
• Josh Outman (W, 5-4): 7 IP 2 H 0 ER 3 BB 4 K
• Brett Harker (S, 8): 2 IP 0 H 0 ER 0 BB 3 K

The 2006 Lakewood pitching staff = The 2010 Philadelphia Phillies big league bullpen?

• CF Quintin Berry (5^th Round): 0-17, RBI, R, BB, 7 K

• Adam Ottavino (St. Louis): 3 IP 0 H 0 ER 3 BB 4 K

The most important names to watch (for now) in the Muckdog lineup: Jason Donald, Joel Naughton, and Tim Kennelly...the most important pitcher on the staff (by far): Edgar Garcia...Adam Ottavino was St. Louis' first round pick in this year's draft and a player I saw pitch five times this past spring at Northeastern University in Boston...very impressive debut for Otto, I look forward to following his pro career from here on out...

• OF Terrance Warren (8^th Round): 3-16, 2 2B, RBI, 3 R, 3 K, SB (1), E (1)

Great week for Cardenas (the player to watch on this GCL squad)...Lieber with a solid rehab start, the target date for his return to Philly is still the pre-AS break series against the Pirates in early July...
