When you sign 10+ career minor leaguers to fill out your roster. You’re the Retreads, inspite of our two brilliant young pitching studs.

No hits or runs, six strikeouts in three innings for Wacha tonight.

Wong hit and a double and triple but was picked off tonight; perhaps he was fatigued from running the bases.

Gast pitched tonight, albeit horribly. He’s actually just off the DL.

Gast is not on the DL. He is pitching (badly) today in Des Moines. Bad velocity and half his pitches are golfers.

More true than not, but Memphis now houses two of our top 5 or 6 prospects in Miller and Rosenthal – not exactly retreads….

Pretty certain that studies have shown that power is more important for generating doubles than speed.

You’d have a better argument for triples.

I dont want to get into an argument over SLG. My point was that there were different ways to value hitters. The hitter that hits a lot of doubles is demonstrating speed and base running skills that the stat wont register but will demonstrate themselves in other areas of the game. It is a gut reaction on my part not a bullet proof statistical argument.

Scott Gorgen took a ball to the left knee and left tonight’s Memphis game… Walked off but wasn’t good. Wonder if he will be done for the year, given only a couple weeks left.
