Jesus

goes yard again. With 5 homers in his last 4 games, he seems to be handling the adjustment to AA.

Austin Romine was 2 for 3 in the 1st game of a DH for Tampa with his 11th homer and a double. 0 for 1 with 2 walks in the 2nd game of the DH. He’s showing some real pop, and should not have trouble staying at catcher.

The 2 BB

are nice. But his 9:45 BB:K ratio is still kind of scary.

Should not have trouble staying at C

That goes against everything I have EVER heard about him…

I shamefully withdraw my drunken comment.

Matt LaPorta

Big game for him, 3-5 with 2 2B and a HR (10) and 5 RBI.

Dexter Carter

I don’t think he pitched tonight.

was at the Charleston game tonight, but I was in a box, so I wasn’t able to watch much of it. Hagadone was on a strict pitch count I found out after the game, said his arm is feeling good. Obviously control was an issue tonight. Wish I had more to report.

Cory Arbiso had a very strong 5 1/3 tonight for the Riverdogs.

Tigers

Alex Avila: 2-4, BB, 2B (question about Avila- where does he rank as far as top prospects? Is he top-200 material?)
Wade Gaynor: 1-3, K, BB
Cale Iorg: 1-5, 3K
Wilkin Ramirez: 1-4, 3K
Scott Sizemore: 0-4, 2K, BB
Ryan Streiby: 2-5, HR, K

by David Tokarz on Jul 3, 2009 12:49 AM EDT reply actions

Avila

He is definitely a top 200 prospect. I would put him in the 80-100 range. He looks like a safe bet to be the starting catcher in Detroit in the future.

Matt Dominguez

1-4 2 Run HR

That’s 3 consecutive games with a HR.

Great to see that from him.

4 Good starts in a row now.

"Their Triple-A rotation, led by Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, could be better than some big-league rotations; Michael Ynoa is the best Latin American prospect of the decade; 2008 draftees Jemile Weeks and Rashun Dixon bring much-needed tools to an advanced group of hitters." - BaseballProspectus.com

4th Starter

Are we still looking at his ceiling being a 4th starter like John said in the Oakland preview?

by Ion293 on Jul 3, 2009 1:42 AM EDT up reply actions

Prob.

I see best case him being a #3. Joe Blanton clone. The good one from 05.

by Syphon on Jul 3, 2009 2:18 AM EDT up reply actions

William Smith

7 IP, 1 R (unearned), 2 H, 6 K, 1 BB

One of the best pitching prospects no one is talking about. Chatwood is too.

Smith’s season: 70 IP, 68 H, 16 BB, 61 K, 3.58 ERA, 48% GB

David Lough!

2-4 with a stolen base in his AA debut. wooooooo this guy is good.

Jason Taylor

2-4, double and home run

he’d be one of the better hitting prospects in the game if he could pull his head out of his ass and focus on baseball. he’s got power, patience, and nice athleticism.
