Salty gets a chance to get re acclimated and gets a chance to build a better relationship with Feliz…

Add to it Feliz gets innings to refine his pitches…

Going to have to do a lot of reading WL box scores

FALL GUYS

• Stephen Strasburg (Nationals) and Tanner Scheppers (Rangers), two of the more heralded pitchers in the 2009 draft, both made their AFL debuts on Friday.

Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the Phoenix Desert Dogs, yielding two hits and walking one while fanning two. He threw 50 pitches, 32 of them for strikes. His top speed was reported at 99 mph. Strasburg’s debut was the Fall League’s big event for the week; the attendance for the Desert Dogs’ night game against the Scottsdale Scorpions was announced at 1,138, a large crowd by AFL standards.

Earlier in the day, Scheppers, drafted by the Rangers in the supplemental first round, pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Surprise Rafters against the Solar Sox. He struck out two batters while giving up one hit and one walk. The Fresno State product, who re-entered the draft one year after suffering a shoulder injury just before the end of his junior year of college, was clocked at his pre-injury speed of 98-99 mph.

From Keith Law:

"Tanner Scheppers, a supplemental pick by the Texas Rangers this year who signed for first-round money, was even more impressive than Cashner, sitting at 95-98 with a vicious curveball with hard, late two-plane break. He appeared to be amped up for the short outing; I doubt he’d sit at that velocity as a starter, but even 92-95 with that breaking ball would get hitters out multiple times per game. His arm works well, and his potential to be a front-line starter is really just a question of the state of his shoulder."
