DrB must be busy so far today, so I will start this for him. Amongst highlights for today are these two games:
-Liz and Bucholz are squaring off in Portland tonight, weather permitting
-Homer Bailey faces Ottawa
I didn't really look too in-depth at what today's schedule included, fill us in!

Butler faces off againt Wood

Wood sent down?
by cooper7d7 on May 2, 2007 8:35 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Didn't Wood get sent back a day or two ago?
If I recall correctly, I think Brandon Wood was sent back to AAA Salt Lake City Saturday or Sunday, so that matchup won't materialize just yet. :-)
Take care and have a great day!

Clay Buchholz is dealin'
4 IP, 0 hits, 0 walks, 0 runs, 6 K's.

Re: Buchholz
His dominance from Hi-A late last year has carried over to Double-A. I love this kid.

AA suns
Hu- 2-5 .340avg
Xavier Paul- 1-4 1hr(3) 1bb .293avg
Zach Hammes: 2IP 1H 0ER 0bb 2k
While playing CF, on the season he is hitting 293/375/467 with 3 homeruns.
he still striking out a bit too much (25% of PAs) but so far, so good right now. When drafted, he was lauded as a 5 tool player and it seems he might be putting it together this year. Hes a CFer with the strongest arm in the oraganization. He might have slepper/late bloomer potential if he can keep up his current line.
Zach Hammes is another bullpen sleeper. The dodgers are really high on this kid after he blazed through the Hawaii Fall League and saw his fb sitting in the mid 90s and touching the high 99s. This kid is huge, and might be a late bloomer himself. With Meloan probably getting promoted soon, Hammes will probably take over as the closer for the AA team.
both players are 22 yrs old.

Perfect game and no-no gone...
7 IP, 1 hit, 0 walks, 0 runs, 9 K's. 27/3 K/BB ratio on the year and a 1.61 ERA.

Phil Hughes Update
4.0 0 0 0 2 3 4.32
...against a pretty formidable Texas lineup. Go kid, go! Now that the jitters are behind you, time to flash that pinpoint command. Hopefully he sticks with the Yankees after this start - God knows the pitching staff could use a boost.

Good work, son. Look forward to seeing start #3 against the somewhat anemic Mariners' lineup later this week (God willing).

Giants Report
Fred Lewis- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B. BA= .241. Fred needs to kick it into gear here or he ain't ever going to see the major leagues.
Nate Schierholtz- 2 for 5, 3B. .302. Good to see Nate back up over .300.
Justin Knoedler- 2 for 5. .272. Could be a backup MLB catcher someday. Longshot though.
Matt Palmer- 5 IP 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 2 K. 2.83. Unexciting numbers, but a 2.83 ERA isn't bad for the PCL.
Scott Munter- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, GO/AO= 6/0! Munter had the ol' sinker going today.
AA- Altoona beat CT 6-2.
John Bowker- 2 for 4, HR(4). BA= .319.
High A- San Jose topped Stockton 3-1.
Antoan Richardson- 2 for 3, 2B, SF. BA- .326. Antoan continues to confound the critics.
Joe Martinez- 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 11 K. Nice rebound from a rough start last time in Lancaster. Not quite Tim Lincecum, but not bad. ERA= 2.86.
Low A- Kannapolis outhit Augusta 8-5.
Adam Cowart- 5 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 5 K, GO/AO= 7/2. ERA= 2.06. Is the league figuring out Cowart the second time around, or did the law of averages just catch up with him?

Rockies Report
--3B Ian Stewart (.306): 3 for 6, run, K. Still not showing much power, 4 XBH in 85 AB's.
--1B Joe Koshansky (.267): 2 for 5, 2 RBI (15), K. Has 12 BB, 21 K in 75 AB.
--SP Ubaldo Jimenez (8.14 ERA): 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K. 64 of 108 pitches for strikes. His last two starts, spanning 13 innings, he's allowed 8 H, 3 ER, 5 BB, 11 K.
Tulsa had a 7-run bottom of the 9th to tie the game at 8 before losing the game 9-8 in 10 innings to visiting Arkansas.
--2B Corey Wimberly (.000): 0 for 4, run, E (1), HBP. Season debut after hamstring injury.
--SS Jonathan Herrera (.333): 1 for 4, 2 RBI (9), run, BB.
--RP Darren Clarke (0.00 ERA): 1 IP, 1 H, 2 K. Season debut for hard throwing righty after groin injury. Fastball in mid to high 90's, must stay healthy.
Modesto went into Visalia and beat Upton and the Oaks 12-6.
--CF Dexter Fowler (.212): 3 for 5, 2B (2), 3 runs, BB, CS (3). Finally over the Mendoza-line!
--2B Eric Young Jr (.247): 2 for 4, RBI (12), 2 runs, BB.
--SS Chris Nelson (.277): 2 for 4, 2B (6), HR (3), 4 RBI (15), 2 runs, BB.
--SP Samuel Deduno (6.55 ERA): 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 1 HR, 2 WP. Is more than likely his last start in Modesto, will be up in Tulsa soon.
Asheville whipped up on Greenville 8-1.
--SS Hector Gomez (.216): 0 for 5, 2 K, E (9). I think I jinxed him yesterday.
--2B Daniel Mayora (.295): 3 for 4, 2B (8), HR (1), 2 RBI (11), 3 runs, K.
--1B Michael Paulk (.416): 1 for 4, 2B (9), RBI (18), 2 K.
--RF Victor Ferrante (.290): 3 for 4, 2B (2), HR (3), 3 RBI (16), run, CS (4).
--SP Simon Ferrer (2-2, 5.65 ERA): 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.
It's hard to root against Ferrer. For those wondering and don't know, the 26-yr-old converted infielder is now facing long odds, trying to make his journey to the majors as a knuckleballer after failing as an infielder. Here's a very good article printed about a week ago on Ferrer:

Michael Bowden
6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's.
Season line- 1-0, 1.91, 33 IP, 7 BB's, 37 K's.
Anybody got info on him. He's faring much better than some more highly touted BoSox prospects in the wilds of the high desert. 20 yo on high A is impressive too!
