Sorry for the delay. Puppy problems threw off the morning plans. Tomorrow’s post will probably be a bit delayed as well.  Kind of a quiet night for prospects on Friday.

Have a good weekend.

Memphis 4, Nashville 3

• Eugenio Velez was 3-for-5 with a double.
• Mark Hamilton was 0-for-3 with a pair of walks.  Hamilton still looks like a prime candidate to be dropped from the 40-man roster despite having revived his season to something approaching career numbers.  He’s not a bad hitter but on a team with Allen Craig, Matt Adams and Matt Carpenter, Hamilton lacks a vocation.
• Bryan Anderson was 2-for-4 with a double.  He’s been quite awful this season as a hitter.  It’s easy to forget how good he was in Johnson City and the Quad Cities during 2005 & 2006.  Anderson once looked like an above average hitter with questions about his defense.
• Corey Patterson was 2-for-5 with a double. (Playing for the other team, just wanted to make everyone’s heart skip a beat.)
• Brandon Dickson went 7.2 innings striking out 6.   He walked 1 and allowed 1 run on 6 hits.
• Eduardo Sanchez made things close allowing 2 runs on 3 hits in 0.2 IP.
• John Gaub relieved him to close out the game by recording the last out.

Springfield 4, NW Arkansas 2

• Jose Garcia was 2-for-4 with a walk.
• Jermaine Curtis was 2-for-3 with a pair of walks.
• Oscar Taveras was 2-for-4.
• Scott McGregor allowed 3 hits in 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out 5 and walked 1.
• Jorge Rondon followed Sanchez’s lead allowing 2 runs in the 9th to make things dicey.
• Keith Butler came in to clean up the mess and record the final out for his 21st save.

Palm Beach 5, Tampa 4

• Starlin Rodriguez was 1-for-4 with a long ball.
• Chris Edmondson and Rainel Rosario both went 2-for-4.
• Ronnie Gil was 2-for-4 with a double.
• Todd McInnis struck out 4 in 5 innings.  He allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits and 1 walk.

Quad Cities 1, Clinton 10

• David Bergin was the only player to score. He was 1-for-3 with a solo home run.
• Quad Cities had 5 hits and 2 walks on the day.  Bergin’s home run was the only extra base hit.
• Brad Watson was lit up for 8 runs (6 earned) on 9 hits in just 1.1 IP.
• Robert Stock was asked to plug the dike pitching 4.2 innings.  He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits.  He struck out 3 and walked 2.  It was the longest outing of his season though he pitched 3.2 innings in his previous appearance. Stock has not been used exclusively as a one inning pitcher.
• Ricky Martinez was the only pitcher to escape damage striking out 3 in 2 innings and allowing just 1 hit.

Batavia 2, Brooklyn 0

• Alex Mejia (SS) went 3-for-4.
• Patrick Wisdom (3B) went 2-for-4.
• David Washington was 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles.
• Joe Cuda was dominant striking out 7 in 5 innings. He allowed just 1 hit during his start.  Cuda, now 4-0 on the season, has 27 strikeouts in 33 innings while walking 5.
• Ryan Copeland (returning from a medical condition that held him out for the start of the season) made his first appearance in Batavia allowing 1 hit, 1 walk and 1 strikeout in 0.2 IP.
• Yunier Castillo pitched a 1-walk, 1-strikeout scoreless inning.

Johnson City 6, Danville 5

• C.J. McElroy (CF) was 3-for-5 with a double.
• Ildemaro Vargas (2B) was 2-for-5.
• Jeremy Schafer (1B) was 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles.
• Cesar Valera (SS) was 2-for-5.
• Lance Jeffries (RF) was 0-for-5 with a golden sombrero.  Jeffries is striking out in nearly half his at bats and over 30% of his PAs.
• Silfredo Garcia struck out 6 in 6.1 innings.  He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits while walking 2.
