Ha, touche. I guess I was holding out hope that he could at least be a guy that was shuffled back and forth between AAA and the Majors a few years down the line (which isn't saying much for a second-round pick). But he won't even get there.
I wouldn't care if they just released this guy. He has an Ivy League education, might be time for the kid to find his life's work.
Ramon Geronimo throws a 1-2-3 8th inning with a strikeout...he's now thrown 4.2 hitless innings with a 1 BB/8 K ratio since his promotion to Chattanooga.

I'm not sure how uncommon it is, but some of the performances out of the bullpen this year, throughout the system, seem rather remarkable. Not sure if I have all the pertinent updates from tonight, but I think it's something like this:
(Sorry the chart's so hard to read. Not sure how to do that sort of thing. I tried more spaces to line it up, but that didn't work.)

* Horst has four starts out of his 30 appearances. These are his total numbers.
All of that, of course, doesn't account for some of the other (sometimes more) highly regarded prospects in the system, the likes of Carlos Fisher, Terrell Young, Pedro Viola and Tyler Pelland, whose numbers, for the current season, don't match the ones above.

Is there a reasy Juan Duran has missed so many games?
You can line everything up by making sure it's lined up in Notepad and then using the code function (sometimes you have to click on 'Go Advanced' and then click on the pound (#) sign). Or if clicking isn't your thing, you can just type without the pound signs.
I think it's interesting how bad the Lookouts' bullpen has been. At the beginning of the year, some of us (including some national press) were saying it could possibly be the best bullpen in all of the minors. This was back when the bullpen still had Josh Roenicke and Danny Herrera, but they were sent to Louisville long ago. Thankfully, Robert "Bullpen God" Manuel and Ramon "Dr. Zero" Geronimo are with the team to help balance things out.

Yeah, it's crazy. Almost as crazy as a small-market team shelling out 40-something million dollars for a closer when they aren't even close to having all of the other pieces in the puzzle in place. What kind of team would do that?
