PrintNoone particularly interesting pitching today.
OKC - Delayed or postponed
Poveda's been hit around a bit but it doesn't matter because Spingfield's pitchers decided to collectively pull off their best David Price impressions. Tim Smith is 2/3 with a homer and 7 RBIs through 4 innings, Whittleman is 1/1 with a homer and 3 BBs.
Brigham - 2/1/0/0/0/4. Hamburger and Castillo aren't doing so hot. Macumba - 3/5, HR, 5RBI, Santana - 3/4, HR, 3RBI, Nooch - 2/3, HR, BB, 4RBI. Latin Wind went 3/5 with a couple of doubles.

That box score and game story is going to be fun to read. Wacky ballgame
What's the rumpus?
Whittleman

Whittleman is doing his best Barry Bonds impression
3 BBs 2 HRs… i hope its his breakout game and he starts hitting

btw, i just noticed that Whit's OBP was .360
thats not half bad, of course, he has shown zero power until today
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
He's got a good approach
Now if only he could hit…

I just hope he sticks with what's obviously been working for him.
I’d hate to see him press too hard or something and waste all of this progress.
Yep, he is what he is
It doesn’t seem likely he’s every going to be a .300 hitter, but we’d be happy with a .260 avg. that comes with a .360-.370 OBP. My fear is that he’d be a .220/.320 hitter, and with his reportedly suspect defense there’s not much value in that. How did he look at 3B to you?

He's still awful defensively.
I think his arm would play at a corner, but right now, there’s no telling if his bat will. That said, he’s been absolutely crushing baseballs lately, so I’m not going to say it’s unlikely.
That's what I was afraid of
I’m getting out to Frisco later this month, but haven’t seen him yet.

He flashes plus tools over there...
Good range, good arm. The problems he runs into is fundamental – dropped balls, bad footwork, questionable decisions. If we had other 3B prospects, I think we would have seen him in LF by now.

Brigham
2 innings? He didn’t have a strenuous couple of innings, so why the quick hook? Or is this going to be the norm in order to keep his pitch count manageable?
What's the rumpus?
I was listening to Brigham with one ear
He ‘tweaked’ something while pitching. The Mgr and trainer came out, he threw a coupla test pitches, said he as alright … then his next pitch was banged off the CF wall. Yanked for Hamburger.
He might need to go on the D.L. for a week or two. Or maybe an icebag will fix it. We’ll see.
Press release...
…describes him as day to day, but who knows.

I love how fuckers that have likely never watched Smoak, much less Davis, play defense on a regular basis can so definitively say one is better than the other.
ha, yea, its pretty stupid

My opinion is worthless to them.
But if the guy wants to rely year-old scouting reports that are clearly not that accurate, let him do it.
That is exactly what set me off over there
ignore the fans who are much closer to the situation and go with year old DMN blog smatterings from Tim McMahon. Sheesh.

check out the spokane/vancouver game
a hell of a pitching duel going on, no hitter going for the Vancouver pitcher and recently drafted 19 yr old JUCO kid, Brandon Tullis is dominating with 9 Ks and 0 walks through 5
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Tullis
His numbers were great coming in – save for hits and ER’s. Well, he avoided those pitfalls and had a great outing. 17-0 K/BB ratio and scads of GOs.
thats 17 Ks in 12 IP with 0 BBs... thats some great perps to start off on
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
4.0 GO:AO, and even though he’s given up more hits than IP, his opponents BA is .241. And as you said, just 19 in the college league

Is it too early to sig this one too?
Who is your favorite/sleeper pick?
I’m going with Braden Tullis as my sleeper
