Lehigh Valley Report 21 April 2011

7. Lehigh Valley

In light of the daily box score update, I think it may make some sense to do away with daily game summaries and attempt to focus the weekly updates on how particular players have been performing along with general team updates.  So, along those lines each week I will update half of the team.  Infielders, catchers and starters one week and then outfielders and relievers the next. That should allow a constant continuing picture of what we have at the AAA level.  Look for that on Thursday or Friday each week.  I hope to combine that with occasional additional features and player interviews throughout the season.

Romero to the DL, Zagurski Called Up

Transactions

The Phils placed LHP JC Romero on the 15 disabled list with a calf strain and called up LHP Mike Zagurski from AAA Lehigh Valley. Zagurski, 28, was the Phils 12th round selection in the 2005 draft and has spent parts of two seasons with the big club.  In the early going for Lehigh Valley, Zagurski has appeared in three games, without allowing an earned run in 3.2 innings. He has walked one, struck out 7 and earned one save. 

Called up to take Zagurski’s spot in the Lehigh Valley ‘pen is RHP Chance Chapman. Chapman, 27, was the Phils 8th round pick of the 2007 draft. In 29 appearances for Reading last year, Chapman was 2-3 with a 5.36 ERA in 50.1 IP.  He walked 22, struck out 27 and had a WHIP of 1.45. Chapman has been impressive in the early going this year, with three scoreless appearances, allowing just a lone hit in 3.2 innings.

Clearwater Threshers Report–4/18/11

5. Clearwater

Recap:  The Threshers went 3-4 on the week, dropping 2 of 3 to Daytona (Cubs), taking 2 of 3 from Brevard County (Brewers), then losing the opener of another series with Daytona.  Clearwater sits at 7-4, a game out of first in the FSL North.  The most notable news out of Clearwater has been the loss of Brody Colvin and Jonathan Singleton.  Colvin was placed on the DL with a back injury and Singleton sat out all week with a left arm injury.  He made it back into Sunday’s game, but after a caught stealing while he was batting, he didn’t take the field.

AAA Weekend Update 17 April 2011

7. Lehigh Valley

Friday–Lehigh Valley went back over .500 with a 9-4 victory over Rochester, taking two out of three from the RedWings. The ‘Pigs fell behind early on a series of miscues, but bounced back with two runs in the fourth when two runs scored on back to back sac flies by Josh Barfield and Matt Miller. The ‘Pigs put up a four spot in the 7th, when Rochester got very sloppy. The big blow in an inning that featured errors, wild pitches and run scoring bunt singles was a two run single by Ronnie Belliard. Lehigh Valley tacked on three more in the 8th, two of them coming on an RBI double by Delwyn Young. Nate Bump started and went 4 innings giving up 4 runs (1 earned) on 5 hits.  Drew Carpenter picked up the win in relief, pitching three hitless innings.  A big night at the plate for Kevin Frandsen, who had 3 hits.
