Wonder if anybody will be sent to the GCL Reds, who have about 10 days left; or Billings, which has about three weeks left.

I doubt anyone makes it over before fall instructional league begins from the DSL Reds.

I will be in Dayton tonight to watch Serrano pitch. It will also be my first time getting to see Fellhauer play. I will probably be checking in from time to time to give a few notes on what I see.

The GCL Reds were crushed, 11-0. It was Tyler Cline's first bad start. He didn't make it out of the second.

Tucker Barnhart batted cleanup.

Bats @ Indians

Bolivar LF .247
Heisey CF .279
McDonald RF.324
Francisco 3B .414
Frazier 2B .000
Bankston 1B .260
Valaika SS .219
Denove C .300
Wood, T .375


I think Dorn must have a small injury or something. He hasn't been getting starts but is hitting very well.

I will be driving for the first part of this game. Somebody please give reports until I'm back home, if you can. :thumbup:

Nice to see Valaika hot

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

Negron has been promoted to Carolina. He's playing 2B.

Wonder if that means Cozart is about to be sent to Louisville.

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

Alonso is back in Sarasota. So far, he's 0 for 1 with two walks and a K.

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

I really like what I see so far with Fellhauer and Oliveras.

Serrano has a real good looking slider. Average fastball, good movement. 89-91.

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

Bats lead 3-2 in the top of the 6th
Denove and Bolivar are 2 for 3

Valaika and Cisco 1 for 3

Frazier with a walk and an error

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

I would say no. The Bats will need to send a player down to Carolina tomorrow when the player is sent down from the Reds when Rolen is activated.

Bats 3-2 after 6

Pitches-strikes: Wood, T 81-58 - 72%

Wood strikes out the side in the 7th

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

Indy put a shift on for Cisco. It worked as the 2B made a diving stop on a hard hit groundball to get him.

Re: Saturday 8/22/09 Minor-League Updates
 

Is JF an extreme pull hitter? Does he use the whole field? I seem to recall folks saying he had some opposite field hits.

You've seen him a fair amount now, do you think he can beat the shift?
