7/31/07 minor league thread
I went to the Lake County Captains game last night against the Greenville Drive. Daniel Bard was the starting pitcher for the Drive. He was all over the place. If you read the BA mini-update on him, you know that he had 3 wild pitches. But he was missing his spots up, down, in, out. He also had a hit batter that was called a ball. I believe it was Beau Mills (lefty) that did a little bounce-back to try to move out of the way and the ball still hit him on the top of his back foot. The next pitch was a ball and Mills walked.
Aaron Fultz also threw an inning for LC. He looked good in his rehab outing. His breaking ball was in full effect and his fastball also looked good. 1, 2, 3 inning.
The best outing of the day had to be from the Darts catcher Ryan Smythe. He had two home runs, the second of which was a no-doubt shot out of the stadium in the eigth (I think). He was also very active behind the plate, getting into good position on a short pop foul and just missed a catch while diving for a foul bunt attempt.
Saw Ryan Juhl start at catcher, but he didn't do anything that I thought stood out.
Josh Papelbon (John's brother) also played. He's a righty submariner that did pretty well. He kept the ball low, but that's about all I recall.
Sorry there isn't more to this, but it was an outing with co-workers and I wasn't really paying full attention to the game. Just some things that stood out.

Franklin Morales Promoted to AAA?
http://www.tulsadrillers.com/news/?id=5033
Since it's from the Drillers' website, I'm inclined to believe it.
Not too surprising since Morales was pitching very well in 4 starts after the Futures Game and there are some in Col that want him up in the bullpen when rosters expand...

Thanks lenred for that report - greatly
Hello lenred,
I wasn't able to provide a Minor League report yesterday, but I heard that Beau Mills did quite well - you can see more about the Captains' game from Tuesday (7-31) here.
Also, on a related Indians' Minors note, SS Asdrubal Cabrera went 4-5 with 2 runs scored for the AAA Buffalo Bisons - you can see more about that, as well as LHP Cliff Lee's first AAA outing here.
I'll try to remember to mention Cabrera's performance from that game in tonight's recap, presuming he plays tonight and I have time to write a report.
Again, thanks for the Lake County game report, lenred - greatly appreciated! :-)
Take care and have a great day!

I, as a Yankee fan, am happy. I am more than happy with Melky and Duncan instead of him.

Giambi a great player?
He is still a good hitter when healthy. He can hit for power and has a great eye, but if he does come back Damon most likely goes back to CF and that is not good.

Yesterday you said you thought Andrus was better
Kind of like how you said Chamberlain was gonna struggle in AA, and now you pat yourself on the back for having in your top 10 pitching prospects.
Obviously you won't reply to this, because you haven't yet replied when I've brought this up before.

that's four straight african-american ballplayers. it occurred to me that this is very uncommon. (oh, and now fred lewis is running for barry bonds--also african-american.) can anybody think of another lineup like this from recent years?

Good news for Braves fans
With Andrus now out of the picture, it's looking like he'll have a shot to fight it out with Escobar for a long-term look at SS.
Either that or they'll trade both him and Renteria this off-season, meaning they will have dealt 4 SS in less than 1 full year. :-D
