Memphis 5, Albuquerque 3
- Daniel Descalso was 2-for-4.
- Amaury Cazana was 3-for-4.
- Brandon Dickson helped his own cause going 2-for-3 at the plate. Dickson pitched 7 innings allowing 7 hits and 1 walk for 2 runs. He struck out 3.
- Fernando Salas pitched a scoreless frame.
Springfield 2, San Antonio 6
- Matt Carpenter was 1-for-3 with a HR and a walk.
- Aaron Luna went yard for his only hit in 4 ABs.
- Kyle Mura was knocked out of the game after 2.2 IP. He allowed 4 hits (2 homeruns) and walked 2 for 4 ER.
- Thomas Eager walked 6(!) batters in .2 IP. Miraculously, he was tagged with just 1 ER.
- Adam Reifer pitched 2 innings striking out 3 and walking 2. He allowed 1 hit.
Palm Beach 5, Lakeland 4
- Jermaine Curtis was 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. Curtis is struggling this year with a .619 OPS.
- Xavier Scruggs was 1-for-3 with a HR and a walk.
- Tommy Pham was 2-for-3 with a double.
- Scott McGregor threw 5 innings striking out 4. He was touched up for 5 hits and 1 walk totaling 1 ER.
- David Carpenter allowed a solo HR in the 9th before picking up the save.
Quad Cities 14, Burlington 5
- Ryan Jackson was 3-for-6 with a double.
- Jason Stidham was 1-for-4 with a pair of walks.
- Niko Vasquez was 3-for-5 with 2 doubles and a walk.
- Matt Adams went yard in his only hit out of 5 trips to the plate.
- Luis Mateo and Edgar Lara both went 2-for-5. Lara doubled and homered.
- Daniel Calhoun allowed 7 hits in 5 innings of work for 4 ER.
- Joe Kelly walked 1 in 4 innings. He allowed no hits and 1 unearned run while striking out 4. All 8 outs on balls in play were groundballs. Kelly has been simply dominant in Quad Cities with a healthy (though not crazy awesome) strikeout rate, a high groundball rate and excellent command. Considering he’s doing this while flashing a mid-90s fastball, it’s ok to be excited.

Joe Kelly and Shelby Miller: be still my beating heart.
The cardinals draft strategy should target some arms who have similar profiles as those 2. It would be a great idea to build up some 2-3 starter potential arms with good stuff and command. That would be a nice organisation philosophy, imo.
I would really like to see the Cards try drafting Brett Bruening and Andy Hillis again. Both 6-6, 6-7 nice tall pitchers with oustanding potential. Hillis went to Tennessee and Bruening went to Texas Tech after not signing with the Cards after they were drafted.
Hillis is not draft eligible due to the fact that he is at a four year college right now, and isn’t 21 or a junior or senior in college.
@mizzcards:
I’m not sure what Bruening’s stuff is like, but he’s put up some terrible stats this season.
Quad Cities has reached the 50 game mark and Alan Ahmady was suspended for 50 games. Any word on when he may be activated?
Dont be surprised to see Ahmady start 2010 in Batavia. Hooker finished 2008 at QC but after being suspended in 2009 they forced him to spend the entire year at Batavia once he returned.
Same with Tyler Bighames
@cariocacardinal: Yeah, but Hooker came out of high school, not Fresno State. No reason for the Cards to assiogn Ahmady to Batavia. We are running a business here, not fooling around.
@Andrew: Bighames should be assigned to the GCL. Work his way up.
@rydeshelby:
We’ll see. I’m just saying they basically demoted Hooker, it seems logical if they did that they wouldn’t promote Ahmady.
Bighames most likely would have started at JC without the suspension. I agree he’ll most likely start at GCL now.
Well they were placeld at QC because they got the the 50 game mark first. I was told that Bighames would probably start and play the whole year at a short season team not GCL.
Hillis is not draft eligible due to the fact that he is at a four year college right now, and isn’t 21 or a junior or senior in college.
