Kanny Game 2

Hawkins debut

 

Voyagers @ Orem 8:05

Brennan

 

Birmingham and Bristol off

Santiago pitching his ass off again. If the Sox needed an emergency start I think Hector could give them at least 5...

Hawkins playing CF, was 0-1, BB, R, SB in his debut.

Brandon Short has been pretty great since he returned.

Heck of a final line for Santiago. 6.2 IP 0 ER 1 BB 5 K 95 pitches

So no runs at AAA in just under 15 IP. I'll take it.

Jared Mitchell would be lucky to hit above .200 in Triple A

All you heard around draft time was that he was a true RF profile. I hope they keep him in CF for as long as they can though.

No doubt about it. Keep working on the range and reads off of the bat.

He was headed for AAA when he went down. I kind of hope he'd be tearing up A+. The key thing is that he's healthy and playing earlier than expected, in his rehab assignment.

Hector in three starts so far at AAA: 14.2 IP, 9 H, 0 R, 6 BB, 13 K

If he can just cut down the walks a little he definitely has what it takes to b a major league starter.

I was at the Voyagers game. I like Micah Johnson offensively. His homer was clobbered, all his hits hard hit. Defensively he seemed kinda slow-footed. So many of Orem's hits were seeing-eye singles that were just out of the reach of the Great Falls infielders. This kid Barroso has a strong arm in RF. Brennan was pretty impressive. He had a good mix of pitches. Beck came into the game with the bases loaded and 2 outs and fanned his man. His fastball was clocked at 92. He looked pretty good but struggled with his control. It was a fun game until the bottom of the 8th. There were a few Sox fans in attendance, that's cool to see these young guys get some support at a road game.

Thanks for the report! Always nice to hear from someone there in person.

 

If you look at the game recaps for a lot of GF's games, a large portion of the hits for both teams end up being infield hits or ground balls through the infield.

That's outstanding, have we found our Strasburg?
