Short season baseball is full of new draftees, very young players and players coming up through Latin America. It’s an odd mix of older, often low upside players, and very young, very raw high upside players. The level of competition in a league is highly inconsistent from year to year (and from game to game for that matter).

We recap two of the Cardinals’ short season affiliates in Batavia and Johnson City but have not typically covered the Gulf Coast, Venezuelan or Domincan Leagues with any degree of regularity. If you want to take at the short season statistics from time to time, make sure and check in on these 5 players (in no particular order).

Steve Hamel who follows the Connecticut Tigers in the NY Penn league recently asked me some questions regarding players who may be slated for Batavia in 2010.  You can find my answers here.

Batavia defeated the Jamestown Grapes (that’s what their stupid mascot looks like at least — I refuse to find out what it actually is) 9-3.  They brought their good bats to the game breaking out for 13 hits including 4 doubles.

• Colt Sedbrook was 1-for-3 with a pair of walks in the leadoff position.
• Shane Peterson went 3-for-5 with a double.
• Frederick Parejo gets offensive honors for his 4-for-4 effort with a double.
• Hector Cardenas threw 6 innings of 4 hit ball with his only ‘error’ being a solo shot in the 6th.
• Adam Reifer had a lock down ending recording 5 outs (3 Ks) allowing just 1 hit.

Congratulations to the Muckdogs as they won the New York Penn League Title!
