Nice AB for Mes; unfortunately Dorn and Frazier K and Griffin is out too. L'ville 11-3.
Nice AB for Mes; unfortunately Dorn and Frazier K and Griffin is out too. L'ville 11-3.
Sappelt is 2-4 with a HR in game two. Now htting .358.
Anytime now...
Bakersfield is being shut out on two hits through six, 4-0.
Todd Frazier is now OPSing around .825 despite only hitting .227. He entered today with a .235 BABIP, and his walk rate (11.4%) and K rate (20.6%) are both solid. He's now got 5 HR in 75 atbats. Once his BABIP normalizes, if his power and K/BB remain where they are, we could see his OPS get back in the .900 area.
I think he's a better bet to provide value to the Reds as Rolen's backup than Francisco at this point.
Bats win 11-5

This is a day old but Kevin Goldstein mentioned Yorman Rodriguez in his minor league report yesterday.
•Yorman Rodriguez, OF, Reds (Low-A Dayton): 2-for-4, HR (3), 2 R, 3 RBI, K, SB. 18-year-old tool shed is hitting just .206/.250/.382, but power is starting to blossom an upside remains tremendous.

Yorman now has a seven game hitting streak and is OPSing .808 in his last 10 games.
From the DDN:
http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayto...y-1148003.htmlCOMING AROUND: Prized Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Yorman Rodriguez brought a .206 batting average into the Fort Wayne series, but he leads the team with 15 RBIs. The 19-year-old blasted a three-run homer Wednesday, then followed up with three hits Thursday, including two RBI singles and a triple.
“He’s coming out of (an early slump),” DeShields said. “Slowly but surely.”
Rodriguez has a seven-game hitting streak going.
The DDN also has an update on Mariekson Gregorius.
http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayto...y-1148003.htmlSTILL WAITING: Didi Gregorius, last year’s Dayton shortstop, remains in Arizona awaiting results of tests to determine the severity of a kidney issue. “We should have a plan of attack (soon),” Benavides said. “There’s been a setback. We’re praying for him.” Gregorius would join high-A Bakersfield (Calif.) when pronounced healthy, Benavides said.
Yorman Rodriguez was mentioned in Kevin Goldstein's minor league report again today.
•Yorman Rodriguez, OF, Reds (Low-A Dayton): 3-for-4, 3B, R, 2 RBI. Seven-game hitting streak has him up to .236/.276/.431; has plenty of time to convert the tools into skills.
