This is obviously a bad sign, and your mind starts to wander toward the possibility that he is going to need surgery. Get well soon Justin.
Hot or Not
Another week in the books. A few observations.
It may be time to really take notice of Tyler Cloyd. He has been very consistent over the last two years and knows how to pitch.
Maikel Franco is starting to turn some heads as a legit 3B prospect. The question remains whether the youngster can hit for power.
Kyrell Hudson needs to start hitting…how does the adage go, “you can’t steal first base”.
Possibly the worst line I have ever seen from Lino Martinez.
Phillipe Aumont’s control issues are noteworthy and should be watched.
Hot Hitters: Erik Kratz (.462, HR, 4 RBI); Maikel Franco (.455, 2HR); Gustavo GOnzalez (.400)Brian Pointer (.364, 3 RBI, sb)Tuffy Gosewisch (.364); James Murphy (.357; 3 RBI); Scott Podsednik (.333, 4R, 3RBI, SB); Steve Susdorf (.333); Cody Overbeck (.318) ; Darin Ruf (.313, HR, 4 RBI).

Box Score Recap, 19 April 2012
Just a reminder. Last April, Jesse Biddle couldn’t get anyone out, and people here thought he was overmatched and a lot of other things. And then suddenly he wasn’t. Its a few starts. Remain calm.

Hot or Not
Edition Two of “Hot or Not” with plenty to talk about. At the dish, Reading had a huge night last evening, influencing numbers and sending Cesar Hernandez and Darin Ruf climbing up the charts. Leandro Castro has also been consistently ,making things happen. Anthony Hewitt’s “promotion” is not going well early on and the struggles of Jeremy Barnes continue.
Nice to see Brody COlvin breaking through on the hot pitcher list, which included two nice starts by Trevor May. Jesse Biddle had a rough outing this week, but too early for real concern. The Lehigh Valley bullpen plays prominently in the Hot Reliever section with two real nice outings by Kenny Giles getting him some “pub”. Continue reading Hot or Not
