May 12, 201015 yr Lehigh Valley @ Charlotte Zaleski Birmingham @ Jacksonville Nunez Winston-Salem @ Potomac Leesman Delmarva @ Kannapolis Serafin Edited May 13, 201015 yr by danman31
May 12, 201015 yr Morel 1/4 with an RBI, #19. 800 OPS. Nunez really pitched very well, one of his best, if not THE best start with us. And Salvador Sanchez has come back down to earth. Just can't seem to find much to get excited about with this team. Shelby's now down to .244 and fading a bit.
May 13, 201015 yr T. Thompson in that game piled up 5 RBI's, now at 16 on the season. My boy Dayan Viciedo (280/OPS aound 800) with his 7th homer, the power numbers are starting to look encouraging...his prospect "luster" is coming back again. RBI'S, Flowers (26), Viciedo 3 (15), Retherford (10). Edited May 13, 201015 yr by caulfield12
May 13, 201015 yr So its more than a bit worrying that Flowers is striking out something like 36% of the time right?
May 13, 201015 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 12, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Short 4-6. WTF? This guy is on fire. He's hitting I want to say .483 in May. Absolutely incredible.
May 13, 201015 yr Someone in the catch all said if Short hits .400, they could care less about how much he walks. I agree.

Nice back to back days for the Swisher prospects.

May 13, 201015 yr Before we get too excited about Short, lets all remember Jeremy Reed his .400 too, and he could take a walk....

May 13, 201015 yr Greene and Short both have OPS's over 1. Short's .400+ AVG is amazing at this point, and Greene's OBP is an absurd .452. And from what I can tell, both can play some D. Greene is old for his level and needs to be in AA, Short needs to improve his batting eye a bit and draw some walks. But I'm still pretty psyched for both of them, neither of which I gave a lot of thought to coming into the season.

I'm still pretty psyched for both of them, neither of which I gave a lot of thought to coming into the season. That's the beauty of it... one of the things I love most about minor league baseball... the guys who step up and surprise everybody. The odds of players making the majors are still pretty low, but it's great to see guys (especially late round draft picks) put themselves on the radar screen via great performance.
