Its a wild world. A wide world filled with box scores. Before I get to that, 2 notes. I’ve now included the VSL box score in the daily recap. Second, I will be working on a draft piece this weekend, hopefully with some guys that I find interesting, some video, some scouting blurbs, etc etc. So look for that. Also, am I looking in the wrong place, or has minorleaguebaseball.com not uploaded any scouting reports yet for draft prospects? Last year I thought they started putting stuff up in early April, this year, nothing. What gives? Anyway, the box scores.

Stats and observations behind the dish. Starting pitching report next some late week or weekend..
Lehigh Valley
Erik Kratz, 30, .275/.390/.394 in 69 AB’s; 6HR 14RBI; 14% bb rate 19% k rate; .310 vs. LH, .250 vs. RH., .263 with RISP. 7/17 CS (41%), 3 passed balls and 1 error in 22 games. Simply can’t ask for much more than what Kratz has given. Should be in Philly and Sardinha should be in Allentown.
Joel Naughton, 24, Hitting .231 in the 4 games he has played thus far. 0/5 CS in 4 games caught. Continue reading Around the System–Catcher
Box Score Recap, 16 May 2011
You no doubt have expectations. You’ve come here for box scores. Guess what I have for you? Check below the fold.
Oswalt Activated, Worley Sent Down, Grilli to the DL
Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Roy Oswalt has been activated from the DL and will be starting tomorrow against the St. Louis Cardinals. To make room on the roster, the Phils sent Vance Worley back down to AAA Lehigh Valley. Sources in Lehigh Valley say that Worley will be starting tomorrow night when the ‘Pigs start their series against the Yankees in Scranton. Worley could not have performed much better then he did for the Phils, both in the rotation and out of the ‘pen in his several weeks with the big club.
In another roster move, ‘Pigs pitcher Jason Grilli has been placed on the DL with back problems. Grilli threw 12 pitches yesterday before removing himself from the game with a back problem. With both Scott Mathieson and Mike Stutes in Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley relief corps is very thin with Grilli’s placement on the DL. Grilli had been unscored upon 11 of his last 12 outings, currently throwing ten consecutive scoreless innings.
Clearwater Threshers Report (5/2-5/15)
Recap: Clearwater went 9-4 over the past two weeks and currently sits two games behind Daytona in the FSL North at 24-13. Lots going on at Brighthouse Field the last two weeks, with big leaguers on rehab assignments, one Top 10er coming off the DL and one going on, and a rare chance for those of us in the Philadelphia area to catch a Threshers game on TV. Plus some brilliance from Jarred Cosart to end the stretch. Continue reading Clearwater Threshers Report (5/2-5/15)
Reading Phillies Recap 5/15/2011
Reading at best treaded water over the last two weeks going 7-8. New Britain, New Hampshire, and Reading appear to be the class of the Eastern League this year, and all are in the same division, meaning it will be a tough fight for Reading all the way through August. The R-Phils averaged 5.4 runs/game over the period while yielding exactly 5.4 as well, leading to the .500 stretch. Details below the fold.
