Agreed on Jon Edwards – I thought he was going to break with a full season squad last year. VERY surprising he didn’t break with a full season squad this year…… hmmmmmmmmmm

well the gun being slow makes boggs first five innings last nite even more encouraging…most of the time he was around 89-90 but he hit 92 at least once, so add the 2-3 mph and he was throwing 94-95 even into the 5th/6th innings

i have heard that springfield tends to run a little hot while memphis is a little slow, but i have never been to either stadium so i have no idea if that is accurate.

VolsnCards5 said “I actually wonder if the gun was right. Perez was sitting at 91-92 and topped out at 94. I was kinda expecting a little more heat(though he was very effective).” From what I’ve heard the Memphis gun is 2-3 mph slow – So if you add 2-3 mph to the readings that puts Perez about 93-94 topping out 96-97. By the way, does anyone know what most minor league parks use for a stadium gun – Stalker, Jugs, other – I assume Springfield and Memphis use different guns?

just watched the archive on milb.tv, and it was definitely a slider.

vols, i have never seen perez throw a change, but his slider is about at that velocity.

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, but the Birdhouse is reporting that Josh Dew has been promoted to AA Springfield.

The corresponding move was a demotion to Palm Beach for John Mikrut.

I don’t think they could be moving Dew along any faster than what they are right now.

Maiques´problems are almost strictly against lefthanders where he has 14 of his 15 walks in 2.1 IP.

I´ll start noticing Robinson when he learns to take a walk. Though if he were to continue his +.200 slugging (doubtful) I´d take notice w/o the walks.
