If I could get two-for-one Sierra Nevadas on the possibility that Juan Duran might strike out, I'd be at the stadium every night.

Stephenson: 6 IP, H, BB, 9 K

Watched his outing on milb.tv. Very impressive -- fastball at 96-97 consistently, with run on it. Commanded it well and down in the zone. Secondary stuff -- curve and change -- were also consistent and commanded well. Didn't see the big breaking curve I saw earlier in the year -- not sure if he has modified that pitch or not.

San Jose was overmatched. He could move up, easily.

Jackson Stephens: 6.2 IP, 5 H, ER, 5 K

Garrett and Travieso have the publicity, but do not sleep on this teenager.

Hell, you would follow him around the country. Winter ball even.

I said it two weeks ago, Jackson Stephens is a guy that no one is talking about that people should be talking about. He has a real good arm.

I don't know if it was here or on your site, but I have plugged him since I first saw him on MILB TV several weeks ago. Solid fastball and promising secondary stuff. Looks like a competitor, too. To my eyes, he looks better than Travieso, who is having a hard time keeping the ball down and getting consistency with anything secondary.
