Opening night for AZRL.

Mike Olt making his MiLB debut tonight.

Engel Beltre, OF, Rangers (High-A Bakersfield)
As a 19-year-old, Beltre was overmatched by California League pitching last year, which brought even more attention to some of the non-baseball issues in his game, as he plays with an edge that the optimist would describe as intense, but others might use more colorful language. He gained some national attention this year for starting a brawl with a game-winning home-run trot that included a snail’s pace and taunting his opponent, but for the first time since 2008, his play is earning attention as well. He’s a true five-tool talent who is finally coming into his own, batting .444 (24-for-54) in his last 14 games and .326/.374/.464 overall, and at 20, he’s still young for level, despite the repeat performance.

I can’t figure out why Cole threw a changeup at 3-2 with the bases loaded.

Great dive by the CFer, even though he came up just short.

Still, a changeup when he’s still hitting 96 in the 7th? Now 97.

One of the early reports on Perez from there was that in the short time betweeen when he had signed and when FIL started, he had already made it a priority to begin working on pitching low in the zone. I like that type of coachability; it’s even better that he has a great deal of physical talent to go along with a good attitude.

Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'

Per Scott Lucas
In his last nine starts covering 241 batters, Beavan has yielded one homer and five bases on balls. That is ridiculous.

This is exactly the type of stat that could lead teams to perceive Beavan as a top prospect. (This is also the kind of stat that should cause people who have been writing him off to quit it).
