Lots to talk about here – but probably the most interesting thing I see is Severino Gonzalez’ first start stateside. He went 4 innings, giving up 3 hits and striking out 5. If they think he’s got the stuff to stick there, he’s suddenly jumped from likely a fringe/non-prospect at Williamsport, to someone on whom we’ll need to get more information. That’s a big jump, and one that would be surprising for anyone to make successfully. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 6/9/2013

2013 Draft Tracker
So I’ll post this graphic here with whatever info I can compile from the various media reports. I’ll try to scan through the comments here for that kind of info, so if you see I’m missing something, just make mention of it in a new comment at the bottom of the page, and please post any media links if you have them, so I can save them on my end.

Pete Orr and Michael Martinez both went deep for the Pigs…somewhere Rube regrets his decision to hang onto Cesar Hernandez. Lesson learned, I’m sure. Quite an outing for Phillippe Aumont – 15 pitches, 14 strikes, struck out 4 of the 5 men he faced. And JC Ramirez got the save in that game. THE SECOND CLIFF LEE TRADE IS FINALLY PAYING OFF!
Jesse Biddle again reminding us that pitcher wins are a useless stat – 7IP, 1R, 4H, 3BB, 7K, 1 “Loss”. I’d give the loss to the Reading hitters, personally. They can share. So I guess Biddle still gets part of the loss. 1/9 of a loss.
And after being no-hit on Friday, the DSL club managed 2 hits on Saturday. An improvement of infinity %. So good for them.

Cody Asche had a nice day over 2 short games. Ethan Martin had a pretty bad day on the hill. John Lannan threw for CLR – Nothing to write home about, but he’s on the way back.
Just noticed the DSL was no-hit. Brutal.

Lotsa rain and a dead laptop while I am
on the road. But there was a draft, so that’s cool.
Almost no way I’ll be able to get you the graphic on Friday, so here’s the link at least.
Box Score Recap – 6/5/2013
Hoby Milner keeps doing things. 7IP, 1R, 5H, 0BB and 6K. Quite a night from Michael Martinez. 4-4 with a HR, drove in 2 and scored 2. Sebastian Valle with a HR in his second straight game pumping his OPS to .857 in his last ten games. Seth Rosin didn’t get out of the third – his second straight clunker.
Cesar Hernandez and The Mythical Fourth Option
So, a couple different times now I have seen people reference the idea that Cesar Hernandez is out of options. And at least once I have had someone say how dumb I was for thinking that to be true. (They said it nicer than that, but whatever – and whoever that was on here, please speak up and take credit for beginning my enlightenment).
So here it is – Cesar Hernandez qualifies for a fourth option year in 2014.

Box Score Recap – 6/4/2013
Lots to see in those Clearwater boxes – first off, there has been a Miguel Alvarez sighting. 1-4 with a double in his season debut with CLR. Dugan and Franco also doubled in that contest, Franco had 3 hits and doubled in the rain makeup from earlier in the day, and Aaron Altherr had 2 hits, including his 5th homerun, and stole his 14th base over the course of the day. Nick Hernandez got the job done in the nightcap – 6IP, 1R, 8H, 0BB, 4K, and he got Giancarlo Stanton out three times on fly balls, so that’s something.
And back for a second turn through the DSL, fresh off slaying a dragon or saving a princess or something, Seranthony Dominguez. Nice line for the 18 year-old righty – 2 hits, 2 walks and 7K in seven scoreless innings. Too bad the team didn’t think him prospect enough for the GCL. The name plays. The stuff? Maybe not so much.

Box Score Recap – 6/3/2013
Not much activity last night – VSL DSL and AAA. Clearwater got rained out and two other off-days. A nice night from Raul Valdes as a starter again for Lehigh Valley, 6IP, 1R, 5H, 0BB, 6K. A walk-off homerun from Leandro Castro won that contest. Here’s a link to the video of that action. On the replay near the end, you can tell he gives a bat-flip after he hits it, though there’s no video of how the bat flies. Shame. Looks like it would have been a nice one.
General Discussion – Week of 6-3-2013 – Domodition
Please, someone talk about Dom Brown because we haven’t heard enough about him lately.
Actually, I’m fine with it. So go ahead.
