VSL Phils win the series and the VSL League Championship for 2012. Well done. Maybe we’ll see a couple of those names in DSL or even GCL next year.
Box Score Recap 8-7-2012
Couple of note from the GCL – Jiandido Tromp with a 4-5, 2xbh performance at the plate, bringing both his BA and his ISO over .200. Power to dream on for an 18 yr old. Also Braden Shull works a clean inning with 2K in his pro debut. Nice to see him on the field.

Lehigh Valley Weekly Report
With a patchwork lineup, the ‘Pigs have been the picture of mediocrity over the last several weeks, going 5-5 in their last 10 ten games, and now stand at 63-55, 2.5 games behind division leading Pawtucket in the Northern Division of the International League. Scranton is leading the wild card race, with Lehigh Valley one game back. After a day off on Tuesday, the ‘Pigs open a six game home stand against Buffalo against whom they play two, followed by two each versus Syracuse and Rochester.

Dugan and Franco with back-to-back jacks for Lakewood, while Asche and Ruf also go deep. And a very efficient outing from Perci Garner – 2 hits, 0 BB, and faced just one over the minimum in 5 scoreless IP.
Box Score Recap 8-4-2012
Jon Pettibone with a strong performance at AAA, followed up nicely by Valdes and Aumont, and Sebastian Valle hits his first AAA homerun. Oink.
Around the System–Catchers
Suddenly, a new mindset as we look at the catchers throughout the system. We now have three legit prospects (AAA, AA, High A) and two with legit potential to be outstanding in the majors. I am also intrigued by the Austudillo fellow in the GCL. Check out his numbers.
Lehigh Valley
Sebastian Valle, 22, Signed as a free agent in 2006; .258/.277/.428 in 318 AB’s between Reading and Lehigh Valley; 13 HR 47 RBI; 3%bb/26%k rates. 81 games caught with 1 error (.998); 9 passed balls; 26/91(29%)CS.

Box Score Recap 8-3-2012
Top pick Shane Watson with a clean inning and a K in his debut in GCL. Immediately vaults him to the top 10 on BA’s top 100. Right?
Box Score Recap 8-2-2012
Tyler Cloyd gets it done for Lehigh Valley. My mom was there. She said Cloyd throws as hard as “molasses in January”. Ok, she didn’t say that. But she was there.
Good night from Maikel Franco and Hoby Milner on the Delmarva, but the winner of that tilt is 2012 draftee Tim Carver from U of Arkansas, with his first pro homerun…it was of the “grand” variety.
