These things are always good- Bowden, Bumgarner, Kiker v Inman, Tanner, Jake McGee!, and Jason Knapp are scheduled to take the mound today- but I guess the real reason for this is to announce that the A's Chris Carter is making his AAA debut tonight.
2-3 so far, with a Double and 4 RBI. Cheers to the Black Deer!
Madison went 7-4-0-0-1-2 To the face of Garden-Haters. Though I can hear the bitching about the K's already-lol
Mike Stanton goes yard!, Eric Young got called up and is playing CF

only 1B ahead of him for me are Logan Morrison, Justin Smoak, Jesus Montero (assuming he switches) and he’s right around yonder alonso
Adoptive parent of Kyle Nicholson
Chris Withrow

Michael Main is alive! :)
Last night in AZL rehab: 1IP 3K. KG said he was hitting 93. Great for him… hopefully he is fully over the viral infection.

I posted this over at LSB, but
Wieland’s ERA looks awful, and way higher than last year, but I think it should be chalked up to the horrible defense he pitches in front of. His FIP (on firstinning) is nearly identical to last year, and his K/BB and GB rates still look good.

Carter now 3-5 with 4 RBIs
Grant Desme 2-4 with a HR. His 29th to go with his 39 stolen bases.
"Carter's 25-game hitting streak isn't any normal streak. He's 46 for 97 (.474 average) during the run, adding 16 walks and compiling 81 total bases in the process. I'm out of superlatives for what he's doing." - Kevin Goldstein
Jay Jackson
is still doing his penance in Daytona. 5 ip, 5 h, 1 bb, 3 r, 1 unearned, 11 K’s, 1 HBP. If Tennessee makes the postseason, I hope they bump Jackson back up. That said, tis better to send a message early than late, particularly to a prized prospect.
Josh Vitters – 1/3, 1 r, 1 bb. .247/.272/.370. Considering the time he’s missed this year, I’m glad the cubs are sending him to AFL.
Casey Coleman – 6 ip, 5 h, 2 bb, 3 K’s, 1 R. A very workmanlike arm had a very workmanlike outing.
Tyler Colvin – 2/4, CS, PO. .306/.345/.507. I have a serious love/hate issue with Colvin, but I imagine so do many Cubs fans.
Penance?
What happened?

Andy Otero
I normally don’t really pay much attention to DSL numbers, but this kid garners some attention. Otero turned 17 in June, and finished among the league’s leaders in ERA (0.84) and strikeouts (93 in just 64 IP). The 5’9" Panamian lefty dominated the DSL with low 90’s fastball, a plus curve and is said to have a very aggressive approach. His stuff is supposed to be in line with his numbers, and if that’s the case, watch out for this guy. Otero is way ahead of where Randall Delgado was when he pitched in the DSL, and the Braves sent him straight to Danville, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them do the same with this kid. He was the youngest pitcher in the Braves organization this year, and the youngest player named to the DSL All-Star team, in fact almost all the other players given that honor were at least two years older.
Q: If on-base pct is so important then why don't they put it on the scoreboard? -Failcoeur
A: Because the Braves don't want to show their fans how bad you suck.
certainly interesting numbers
but it’s always hard to tell with dsl numbers, particularly due to the strike zone differences down there. I remember the Cubs had an arm awhile back that lit up the DSL, but never amounted to much. Name’s slipping me at the moment, though.

Ike against lefties: .250/.338/.400
2 homers in AA. Admittedly small sample, but that is encouraging. Better than Alonso at least.
