Re: Thursday 8/09/2012 Minor League Updates
Billings is just underway. Zachary Vincej singled in the first and is now hitting .440. Sal Romano pitched a perfect first, fanning two.

That's what you want to do with Marmol on the mound.
Swing at the first bleeping pitch. |

Re: Thursday 8/09/2012 Minor League Updates
Thought we should point out a combined 2-hitter by Billings last night: Sal Romano (5 IP, 2 H, 4 K), Nick Routt ( 2 IP, 3 K), Jordan Remer (I IP,, 2 K), Erik Miller (1 IP).
It was a 6-0 victory, featuring three hits by the evidently fabulous (who knew?) Zachary Vincej, who now checks in at .453. |

Re: Thursday 8/09/2012 Minor League Updates
I wonder if Vincej skips Dayton next year to head to Bakersfield, allowing Valor or Juan Perez to team with Brandon Dailey in the middle infield? Seems like someone there has to make a jump.
Ditto for Mejias-Brean at 3B with Rahier likely to be ready for full-time duties in Dayton. Junior Arias will either shift to the bench or 1B, I'd presume.

Re: Thursday 8/09/2012 Minor League Updates
I too like what Vincej has done so far.... but we need to be sure to realize that he has 50 at bats and that he was a 37th rounder for a reason.

How did Mike Piazza start out his minor league career? Did he blow the doors off the thing right away, or did he develop for a few seasons before putting up huge numbers? At 20, he put up a .762 OPS in A- (57 games) At 21, he put up a .670 OPS in A+ 88 games) Then he takes off At 22, he put up a .884 OPS in A+ (117 games) At 23, he put up a 1.000 OPS in AA & AAA combined (125 games) At 24 he was up in the majors for good. Anyhoo, I know it doesn't have anything to do with Vincej, but I found it interesting none the less. |
