Hessman has 15 homers already for Toledo. Great start for Broadway though, and Wise continues an impressive season. He really would be a nice addition to our bench.

Brad Eldred hit his 10th homerun today... and his average is up to .283

Damn, Lance. You really want to be up with the big squad. Maybe for Wassermann soon?

I know he's on the old side, but Cook has been a damn good hitter for a couple years in a row now. I wonder if he ends up in Charlotte sometime soon.

I'm betting he does. Not only is he hitting well, he's got great plate discipline.

 

> 1.000 OPS and walks>strikeouts is a good way to earn a promotion.

 

I'm particularly impressed that he's doing it in the Southern League, where he's seeing much better pitching than he did in A-ball.

Great game for Broadway...

 

7-inning complete game; 1 run; 3 hits; 3 K's; and 0 walks.

 

And he did it against one of best teams in the International League. Toledo is 25-12.

 

But I don't think they'll bring him up. Lance is our insurance policy against one of our starters going down. Gotta keep him stretched out.

What's the story with clayton richard? His groundball rate was stellar(14:3), and his K/BB has been impressive all season. The only time I've seen him was in a spring training game 2 seasons ago, and I haven't heard anything about him as a prospect.

 

Is there a reason for his improved control and increased K rate this season?

He was reasonably well thought of coming out of college... where he had 7-8 K/9; and a BB/9 under 3.00.

But in the minors so far, his K's were lower and BB's were higher than expected... so no one was terribly excited. Seems like maybe he's getting his act together and starting to live up to expectations. If so, that's a very good thing and he's likely to reappear on the prospect radar map.
