Box Score Recap – 6/7/2014

Box Score Recap

There ultimately may not be a valuable, long-term big league starting pitcher among the four, but all four full-season starters pitched well on Saturday.

Severino Gonzalez – 3R, 2ER, 7H, 2BB, 5K in 6IP for Reading.

Colin Kleven – 4R, 2ER, 7H, 1BB, 8K in 7IP for Clearwater.

Jon Prosinski – 2R, 1ER, 4H, 2BB, 8K in 7IP for Lakewood.

And Brad Lincoln again pitched well for Lehigh Valley, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven over six scoreless innings. He’s had success as a starter at AAA before, so I will reserve my excitement for the day when he has big league success, I think. But if he figures it out in the rotation at AAA, maybe he can still be useful in the big league bullpen this year. He had a good 2012 out of Pittsburgh’s pen, so it wouldn’t be the craziest thing to ever happen for him to recapture his optimal mechanics and form after getting reps in the rotation.

  1. How long will it be until Forsythe is promoted? He is old for the level and it does not appear as if he is being challenged enough.

    1. I cant imagine it will be much longer especially with the influx of college kids coming in shortly.

  3. Probably not a big deal really, but I wonder why Rosin was sent to AA. His overall numbers aren’t good but the timing is odd since he was unscored-upon in 5 of his last 6 appearances. He had one really bad outing earlier that ruined his ERA (5 ER in 0.1 IP). I also wonder if he wouldn’t be better served starting, since he clearly has some things to work out and isn’t on the fast track as a reliever.

  5. Tocci with 4 doubles in his last 5 games. His slash line in June:
    304 / .385 / .478

    Okay, it’s just 7 games, but that’s a nice line.

  6. Anyone else notice that the experiment to have Franco be more versatile and play some 1B has ended? Also if Jiwan James is healthy and back on the Reading roster, why not have him play everyday?

    1. My guess is, once all the college guys get signed and assigned, all the Jiwan James’ types that currently reside in the Phillies system, will be let go
