I've got the "other" Andrew Miller going for Fort Wayne against Jeff Manship of Beloit.

I'm still having a hangover from all the Tim Lincecum excitement yesterday.  That was quite an experience.  A bunch of Giants fans were there. Most of them haven't had much to say except his FB was 94-96 on stadium gun.  Most impressive was the complete helplessness the offspeed stuff seemed to induce in the hitters.  That's what really sets Tim apart, I think.  He not only has the great fastball, but if anything, the curveball is a better pitch and it sounds like he's used the AAA time to work in a quality changeup to boot.

be interesting to see if he gets bumped up to AA at some point this year.

Jeff Manship- A ball - 7 innings, 1 hit, 0er, 8 k's

Poveda's not getting hit. But when he does get hit they are all Hr's. He's not walking too many guys. He's kind of balk and forth with the K's.

He's a young guy who's still developing.

Looked like Richie Gardner had another decent start.

EL was idle today.

San Jose bopped High Desert 7-1.
Antoan Richardson- 3 for 4, HBP, SB(16).
Emmanuel Burriss- 1 for 2, BB, HBP, 2 SB(16).

Augusta edged Kannapolis 4-3.
Nothing to see here.

ERA-1.84
at Class A South Bend
what do you guys think of him?

Colorado Springs gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th to lose 7-6 to Tacoma.
--3B Ian Stewart (.291): 0 for 3, 2 runs, BB, E (3), reached on error.
--RF Sean Barker (.511): 3 for 3, 2 2B (8), run. I don't know what to make of him. He turns 27 May 26th, but it's hard to ignore his start. Obviously he's not going to keep up this pace, but he's hitting .511/.540/1.021. Has 8 2B, 3 3B, 4 HR in only 47 AB's!
--1B Joe Koshansky (.257): 1 for 4, run, RBI (13), E (5)
--RP Josh Newman (1.96 ERA): 2/3 IP, 2 BB. Lefty has 10 K's and 3 BB in 9.2 IP. Holding lefties to a .125 average.

Tulsa whipped up on Springfield 8-2.
--SS Jonathan Herrera (.337): 4 for 5, 2 runs, K. Was in a 0-for-16 slump, breaks out with a nice game.
--SP Ching-Lung Lo (2-2, 6.55 ERA): 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HR. Still only 21 until mid-August.
--RP Juan Morillo (3.86 ERA): 2 IP, zero's across the board, 4 GB-2 FB. Still adjusting to relief role.

Modesto, behind Hynick's gem, won a pitchers duel over Inland Empire 1-0.
--CF Dexter Fowler (.187): 1 for 3, run, SB (5), BB, K
--2B Eric Young Jr (.237): 1 for 4, SB (13), 2 K. Hitting .333 with 8 SB last 10 games.
--SS Chris Nelson (.267): 1 for 2, RBI (11), HBP.
--SP Brandon Hynick (3-0, 0.00 ERA): 9 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K, 14 GB-6 FB. Continues to impress. Not room for him in Tulsa with Reynolds, Morales, Mattheus, Lo, and soon to be Deduno (one more start in Modesto). Unless of course they decide Reynolds is ready for Tripe-A.

Asheville lost 8-7, giving up 3 runs in the top of the 9th to Greenville.
--SS Hector Gomez (.227): 2 for 4, 2B (7), 2 runs, BB. Just turned 19 year old now has 5 BB, 2 K's last 4 games. Slowly showing improvement.
--DH Michael Paulk (.424): 1 for 4, RBI (17), run, BB, SB (6)
--1B Logan Wiens (.362): 2 for 4, 2B (8), 3 RBI (17)
--SP Aneury Rodriguez (5.26 ERA): 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 6 GB-6 FB. Youngster's allowed 0 HR's in 25.2 innings.
--RP Ethan Katz (1.02 ERA): 1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER. Had not allowed a run in 11 games, spanning 16.2 innings before tonight. Has 2 BB and 15 K's in 17.2 IP, with a .161 OPP AVG.

Looking back in the month of April, here's some reflections on the system:
--Three players not really thought of as prospects (Barker, Paulk, Wiens) all have had big months.
--Morales, Reynolds, Hynick, Strop, Weiser have impressed. Jimenez and Rodriguez both have started slow, with Rodriguez pitching better lately.
--Couple prospects, Seth Smith, Koshansky, and Fowler in particular have started out slow.
--Stewart hasn't shown power but has shown more contact ability, and Nelson is hitting the ball hard.  

Lets see whats in store for the month of May...
