Minors 8/11
Off day for the good guys today so lets get a minor league thread going instead.
Pimental starts today for Spokane
Michael Main tries to keep up with Beavan's amazing hot streak and starts for Clinton tonight. He had 6 Ks in 6 IP with 4 hits and 2 walks, 0 ER, in his last start.
The Shroomer has Kiker as being the starter for Bakersfield tonight and Henry for the AZL Rangers
Hodges is set to go in Frisco
Ballard is making his 5th AAA start

Speaking of Main
Are the Rangers still letting him hit?

Risk of injury
Main has stated his main thing to concentrate on is staying healthy for rest of season. Rangers were fearful of him injuring something on the basepaths.

For those in the know
What has changed for Poveda, he seemed to have a miserable start in A+, yet 2nd half of year, he seems renewed and throwing great.
by gamerabcd on Aug 11, 2008 7:02 PM CDT 0 recs
He was injured I believe
or at least coming off an injury

If it was injury
Then he should be up in time for playoffs in Frisco.

I think his peripherals
also showed that he was pitching much better than his ERA showed. In June, he struck out more a batter in each 4 PAs while having his best monthly BB rate at 6%. He had a .404 BABIP though and a 7.71 ERA.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Just a heads-up—I’m going to wrap up “In their Footsteps” this week and then launch a new weekly column for the Rangers MLB.com site in which I will rank the Top 20 prospects in the system and adjust the list weekly, as appropriate, with bullet point notes on each player.You’ll find at least one surprise high up on the list.
But the Top 20 feature won’t show up until August 21. While I have a pretty good sense of how that 20-deep list will look 11 days from now, the state of the 2008 season is not nearly as clear. The Rangers’ backs are against the wall, but they’ve shown us so many times in 2008, maybe more than ever before, that it’s in exactly that situation when the best in this club comes out. How this season is ultimately shakes out hasn’t been determined yet, but one of the ways it will be defined, no matter what happens from this point forward, is as one of the most resilient clubs in franchise history.

Jamey's #1
I’m picking either Arias or one of Boscan/Perez. He’s been high on Arias in recent rankings.
Holland will be high but just isn’t a dark horse anymore. He’s probably the ace of Frisco’s staff next year. Maybe this year.

ranking Arias #1
would be a good way to instantly lose credibility.
No way that Jamey, or anybody else, would rank Arias anywhere near the top.
Warner Madrigal makes Ezequiel Astacio look downright handsome.

I think Feliz is going to be everyone’s number one.
Even the relatives of other prospects are prolly gonna have Neftali #1.

He’s suggesting a surprise entrant “high up on the list”, not at #1.
Feliz is gonna be #1.

My money's on one of his homeslices of bread
like Vallejo, Cristian Santana or Font being top ten or something.
Jamey loves him some blind smother-love.

so that wouldn’t really be a suprise…

starts the game with a K. Beavan enjoys seeing Mains bulldog style and curveball, which is what the K was on.
