AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Oklahoma City Redhawks 7-5:
Tyler Graham(CF)- 1 for 2, 2 BB. BA= .250.
Ryan Rohlinger(SS)- 1 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .177.
Brett Pill(1B)- 1 for 1, HR(6), 2 BB, SF. BA= .311.
Andrew Kown(RHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.35.
Henry Sosa(RHP)- 1.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 10.41.
Marc Kroon(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(10). ERA= 3.12.
Amazingly enough, there is apparently a sizable contingent of followers over on mccoveychronicles.com who think Rohlinger should have gotten the callup instead of Burriss. It seems that the buzzword for a player with speed is "VROOM" which is derogatory to them. Not saying Grant is in that camp. He's still writing some good articles, but the comments have become pretty much unreadable.
AA Erie Seawolves topped the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-3:
Justin Christian(LF)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .289.
Nick Noonan(SS)- 2 for 5, HR(3), BB. BA= .250.
Ryan Verdugo(LHP)- 6.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K's. ERA= 3.07.
Noonan showing a bit of power. Verdugo was hampered by 4 errors in the game. Those K's look good.
A+ San Jose Giants outslugged the Stockton Ports 12-9:
Gary Brown(CF)- 4 for 5, 2 2B, 2 SB(28). BA= .378.
Brandon Crawford(SS)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .296.
Ryan Cavan(2B)- 3 for 5. BA= .287.
Hector Sanchez(DH)- 3 for 5, 3 HR(8)! BA= .313.
Chris Dominguez(3B)- 1 for 3, 2 BB, SB(7). BA= .278.
Zack Wheeler(RHP)- 4 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 6 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.32.
Huge breakout game for Hector Sanchez. Oh my! I know some of us have believed in him since he was putting up interesting numbers in the DSL a few years ago. Brown has cut way down on his CS in the last couple of weeks. Dominguez drawing some walks and stealing some bases, an endlessly fascinating player! Wheels seems to be regressing in is control but all the damage came on a Grand Slam HR in the 5'th inning.
Augusta Greenjackets outscored the Charleson River Dogs 11-6:
Carlos Willoughby(2B)- 2 for 4, BB, SB(18). BA= .291.
Ryan Scoma(1B)- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(4). BA= .258.
Devin Harris(RF)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .244.
Chris Lofton(CF)- 2 for 3, BB. BA= .224.
Robert Haney(3B)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .271.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 1.80.
Seth Rosin(RHP)- 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K. ERA= 4.58.
Lofton is hitting .281 with a .395 OBP over his last 10 games. He has a .357 OBP overall. Another good start for Kickham. Disappointing results so far for Rosin. He needs to miss more bats!

Adam Foster of Project Prospect released a bit on Wheeler, although it didn't really include much new data. Foster noted that he felt that Wheeler was an injury risk due to timing problems but was also pretty close to the majors. Unfortunately, with a walk rate like that it's nearer to the "J. Sanchez" line!
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, what's up with the Rohlinger v. Burriss? Is there particular some upside to either?
what is derogatory about 'vroom'?
ReplyDeleteDoc,
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to Michael Main? He pitched in 2 games for SJ (doing quite well, IIRC) then disappeared. I assume he is hurt. Any word?
Burriss, if you look at his minor league and major league batting lines, is able to control his strikeouts, making him a much more viable MLB hitter than Rohlinger. Add to that he can steal, has a lot of speed, plus can play 4-5 positions, makes him a great asset on bench. Rohlinger's main positives to me are that he has some power that MI's don't have and he can play multiple positions.
ReplyDeleteBurriss still has some chance of becoming a regular; Rohlinger at best is a utility player.
What is derogatory about VROOM? I really don't know. You would have to go read through a whole bunch of comment sections on mccoveychronicles.com to get the flavor of it. It started with Eugenio Velez and now seems to have extended to pretty much any player with speed and suspect hitting skills. It is definitely used over there to label a certain type of player in a sarcastic, derogatory way.
