Perez going for Frisco.
via web.minorleaguebaseball.com
Boscan for Hickory.
Henry going for Spokane.
Roark for Bakersfield.
Doozer for OKC.
According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are sending right-handed relievers Thomas Diamond, Brennan Garr, and Evan Reed, catcher Doug Hogan, infielder Marcus Lemon, and first baseman-outfielder Mitch Moreland (plus an as-yet-unidentified pitcher) to this year’s Arizona Fall League.
Miguel Velazquez (.298/.357/.539) is looking damn good.
Michael "I ain't dead" Main starting for AZL Rangers. Struck out the side in the first inning. Thank you YourNameHere for the heads up.

unidentified pitcher...
potentially rangers sign scheppers and send him? probably not, but that would be interesting!
baseBALLIN!
Christ
Perez has thrown a TON of pitches and he’s not even out of the 2nd yet.
To elaborate...
He’s unable to put people away right now. He’s getting good counts on guys, but they’re just fouling off a ton of pitches.
18 years old dude

Good thing we have a good scouting report on him
and not just some bonus info….right?

...
Thanks for telling me how old he is. I thought he was 26.
Well hes facing guys who are 4+ years older than he is
Complaining about him not being able to put guys away is a little nitpicky IMO

You’re going to have to point out where I’m complaining, because I don’t see it.
The title "Christ" gave me that impression

It's true though
He was having the exact same issue with Tulsa. I guess he was just able to work around it against these guys.

good work from Boscan tonight
Great to see him bounce back and post seven really solid innings. Walk free innings.

Perez should be done for the night

Very nice rebound effort for him.

just bitch slapped you for dissing him
do it again next time he starts
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Your first post sounded like you were disappointed he was giving up foul balls
The title “Christ” gave off that feeling. I know you werent dissing him but its fun to poke fun at people when thats what it sounds like
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Ok, I didn't respond to this the first time since it's kind of absurd.
Christ referred to the amount of pitches he had thrown through 1 1/3 innings.
When I said “To elaborate”, I explained why he threw a ton of pitches.
That’s it.
Im just telling you how it sounded to me
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
im giving you a hard time
its ok
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Just a thought: maybe we should rec the final lines of our top pitching prospects in minor league threads
I get lost trying to find them sometimes, and they don’t get updated too often in the fanpost

I guess so
but I just don’t have a problem clicking on the box scores from shroom’s site, usually linked in these very threads, or getting them the next morning from Lucas, Hindman.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
Michael Main...
Per milb.com, it appears that Michael Main will be starting tonight for the Arizona Rangers. Here’s the box.
Scott Baio. Rick Fox. Brian Austin Green. My heroes have always been mediocre.
Greg Golson doesn't do extra base hits.
I'm tired of the suspense; why won't they just tell us what they mean by 'Male Enhancement?'
Struck out the side in the first
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
According to the box score
he is done after one inning. Probably trying to build his stamina back up.
"Stats are like a woman in a fine little bikini. You can see a lot, but you can't see everything." -Dirk A. Tron
Would anyone be disappointed if
He can build up his strength and be ready for Frisco next yr? Can he regain his prospect status at AZ?
I don't think theres anyway he starts in Frisco

random bullpen thought
Seems the Rangers could really use a lefty killer in the ML bullpen down the stretch.
Just happened to notice that Pedro Strop, who is pitching lights out lately (13.5 k/9, 0 walks in the last 2 wks), has held LHB to a .191 average in his career (.196 this year), with a very nice gb rate (52.4% career, 55.8% this season) to boot.

i have been throwing out the idea
in various threads that he could make sense as a september add because he’ll have to be added this winter anyway, but i hadn’t noticed that jewel of a stat.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
he's been one that we've kept hearing "if it all comes together for him"
wouldn’t it something if that time was now. There really isn’t another pitcher that I’d feel great about adding in September. Moscoso and Madrigal – I don’t really see them getting much more than mop up work, but Strop might be somebody that works his way to the ML pen and then into crucial situations pretty quickly. At least that’s what I’m hoping for, cause the pen needs another impact arm, preferably a lefty killer and I think Strop is the best (only) hope that we have for that role.
"You can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' playoff chances for 2009." - AJM on 7/26 with the team 4.5 games out
I think they will have him prove it in OKC first
But, if he can keep his control rate in check, we have dead weight in the big club with Grilli and Jennings.
rosters expand in a week
If he has 2-3 good outings in that time, I’d love to see him added to the forty and the ML pen.

hey great catch
he’s really been pitching alot better, but im not sure when you can really trust this to be for real. You might have to wait til OKC seasons end to get Strop alot of outings in OKC to prove himself
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I don't know if I would want to put him in any kind of pressure situation
He struggled mightily at the jump to OKC at the beginning of the year and just now got himself back there. To ask him to jump to the bigs and go into the middle of a pennant race and be put in pressure situations may be a bit much.
I wouldn’t mind seeing him up in September but just not used as a primary setup man or brought in tight game situations
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
i don't know if it was the "pressure situations" that got to him
or if it was simply the fact that we tried to aggressively start him in AAA when he had only previously pitched a total of seven innings above A ball. to me, he sounded like a kid that knew how to throw more than pitch at the beginning of the season, and hopefully he’s come a long way since then.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
ehh, your probably right and I'm probably being way too optimistic
But I think that if a reliever has legit plus stuff and can throw strikes, they can be successful right out of the chute.
These guys are streaky beasts, and Strop is going really well and his stuff is reportedly somewhere between filthy and downright pornographic. I think he is a guy that could possibly make quite an impact for a month down the stretch.

Any guesses who is called up for when Kiker is leaving Frisco for olympic ball after next start?
Bleier seems to be going best, but Gomez has been dominant recently too.
They'll probably go back
to 5 man rotation and add Laughter to the pen.

think Strop can get ML hitters out right now?
think he will get a chance soon?
"You can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' playoff chances for 2009." - AJM on 7/26 with the team 4.5 games out
But the Rangers do want to keep the winning MO in Frisco too
Will they bring up someone from the lonely Baks team to supplement for an ace leaving. I think Frisco is only team that is closest to making a playoff run in minors in Ranger Org.
Man, great night
the game, Perez, Main…

Prediction
Main puts up tantalizing numbers at AZRL, gets everyone’s hopes up for next season, and then develops Gout and misses all of 2010.
Can a rotator cuff get herpes? Cause if so I got 5 bucks that says Main gets it next Spring and misses 7 months.

damn if you missed 7 months for herpes the red sox would be setting all kinds of new DL records

Derek Jeter would have never played a game after he hit the bigs.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

Yah, except that Derek Jeter's jump throws pretty obviously make him impervious to STD's, you dumb idiot!

why isn't Perez going to AZRL
or did I miss something
by blueballlefty on Aug 26, 2009 1:00 AM CDT up reply actions
Because he's really young, and there's no need to build up his innings that quickly.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now. -- Tenacious D
yea, i essentially see AFL as a way to get some extra innings in
or to put a guy who is a borderline prospect in a place where he can be studied very closely. Also, its another way to get closer evaluations of players who might need to be put on the 40 or taken off the 40 (like with TD)
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
If anything he'd probably play in the VZ winter league, but more likely they'll ask him to simply rest that golden arm of his this winter. .

i think theres some confusion here
the AZRL is a rookie league, the AFL is a fall league that usually consists of players at AA or above.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
