Let’s take a look back at the week that was and find out who was bringing it, and who was stinking up the joint.
Hot:
Quintin Berry: .448/.515/.552 — 7 R – 6 SB
Welinson Baez: .379/.419/.448 — 2 2B – 4 R
Carlos Monasterios: 13.2 IP, 2 ER (1.36 ERA) — 5 H — 7 BB — 8 K
Not:
Lakewood Trio (Cardenas, Milner, Henry): .179/.267/.284 — 12/67 — 3 XBH
Will Savage: 2.2 IP, 5 ER (20.46 ERA), 5 H, 4 BB, 0 K
Edgar Garcia: 6.1 IP, 6 ER (8.85 ERA), 12 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 2 HR
Notes:
* Brett Harker pitched four perfect innings, picking up 4 saves for Clearwater.
* Gus Milner, despite his struggles hitting the ball, still drew 5 walks last week
* Kyle Drabek had a nice week, just missing the list. 12 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 5 BB, 8 K
* James Happ continues to struggle with his control….not a good sign.
* Matt Smith had a decent week, pitching 3 scoreless innings, but he did allow 3 walks. That’s not good.
* Josh Outman’s command remains a problem (4 BB in 5 IP), but the K numbers are returning.

Make that “BRETT” Harker
ahhhhhh, a typo indeed. Thanks
Is Brett Harker considered to have the best curve?
Phuturephillies, do you know anythink about Walter Tejeda?
RE Harker, he has a very good curveball, don’t know where I’d rate it in the org, probably in the top 5 or so. As for Tejeda, he was 20 in the GCL last year, making his US debut, and wasn’t very good. Lots of hits allowed, lots of walks, but the K rate was promising. He must have been a guy I missed in my Prospect Grades.
Outman with a much much better start today, allowed only 2 walks and 6 hits and struck out 6 more in 6 innings of work for Clearwater. Hopefully his command is coming back.
