Houck was drafted as an OF out Kutztown St. He's played mostly 3B for the Volcanoes. He's hitting .459/.556/.892 over his last 10 games. Jones has shown nice power this summer. Maybe Mota needs to go back on the 'roids?

Franklin Matamoros(1B)- 2 for 3, 3B, BB. BA= .220.
Valdez is hitting .368 over his last 5 games. He's a kid to keep an eye on.

Gary needs to working his SB%.
ReplyDeleteGo Gary Brown! Maybe he can help us in September (well, not if he's CSing...)
ReplyDeleteSign the D-backs are desperate: they just signed Brett Tomko (we should know....)
Ferocious hitters.
ReplyDeleteThe older one gets, the more ferocious one becomes.
I'm not sure how I would define a "ferocious" hitter, but I have come examples in mind: Mike Napoli, Josh Willingham are two who come immediately to mind. Back in the day, I would call Jim Ray Hart a ferocious hitter.
DeleteIt's guys who really only do one thing really well, hit and hit with power. They'll probably never make the HOF but they can produce a lot of runs for their teams.
Here are my game notes from last night, sorry for the mess.
ReplyDeleteBurris pop out, Bond 8 pitch battle GO, Peguero double ripped to right cf, Pill HBP, Linden double off right cf wall, lollis GO to 2nd. Grizzlies lead 2-0.
Ciriaco at SS just brought up from AA? FO, Eli FO to cf, Stevenson GO. Top 3, top of order, Burris reached on error, Bond just hit the pitcher with a shot to the leg, Pegs GIDP, Pill GO. Top 4 Linden solid single to left, Lollis k, Ciriaco GO, Eli BB semi-intentional to get to P Stevenson who Ks looking. Stevenson throwing 81-82 fastball with a plus curveball. Lollis w a nice running catch in cf. top 5. Burris GO to 1st, Bond GO to 3rd he is pretty quick, Pegs shot to P who makes a great grab to save his face.
Bond playing 3rd nice dive to his right followed by strong throw to 1B, Pill does his part coming off the bag to receive the throw and dive back to 1B tagging it with his glove. Pill GO, linden FO, lollis BB, Ciriaco single to LF, Eli weak grounder to SS and everyone is safe. Nady Ph for pitcher with the bases loaded, pitcher change, Nady weak groundout to 2nd to kill the rally. Grizzlies 2-0 in bottom of 6.
Mitch Lively in to pitch. 3.5 era 6'5 91 mph FB, 80 change. Burris w a nice play at 2nd. Top 7. Burris FO, Bond GO to 2nd, Pegs easy FO to RF. Peguero with another long running catch at the foul line to quiet the crowd on what they thought was a sure hit. His defense is ready for the show. Lively strikes out Brad Snyder looking with runners at 1st and 2nd to end the inning. Snyder hitting 305 with 17 HR on the season.
Top 8 Pill GO to SS, Linden GO, Lollis GO to 2nd. Edlefsen pitching. 82 changeup 92fb 85 curve to K 1st batter on 3 pitches. K's next batter with 81 change up, K's the side with last batter going down on a 92 mph FB down in the zone. Ciriaco IF single to 3rd, Eli hitting Ciriaco SB, Eli K, Gillaspie PH K swinging, Burris intentional BB lol, Bond smokes one hitting the pitcher again for IF hit, bases loaded for Pegs 8 pitch AB BB RBI, Pill liner between SS &3rd to score 2, Linden K . 5-0 grizzly's.
Jean Machi the Fresno closer is in. 11 saves 4.04 era. 94k 94k 87k curve and see ya, 94 that Downs send back up the middle, 82k 86k 88 Texas leaguer to Cf , runners on the corners, 87k 87k 87f 94b 87f pop out, 94b 82k 87k runner scores on foul tip not called by blue ball goes to the backstop Eli pissed, 87f 93f 89b 82b 89 GO to Burris. 5-1 Grizzlies win.
So far I would say the only position players worthy of a spot on the 40 man are Peguero, Pill, Burris, Bond and Jackson Williams.
DeleteI was impressed with Brock Bond. He hit the ball pretty hard each at bat and twice absolutely ripped a ball up the middle that ate up the pitcher. I thought he looked a bit on the small size the other day but up close he is ripped with big forearms, probably 5'10 200. They were playing Burris at 2nd and so Bond played 3rd and looked good doing it with a strong arm. Much stronger than Noonan's arm. I think Bond can play 2nd base at the next level with fair contact skills.
You can see why the Giants org likes Burris as his defense is the best on the infield every game.
Peguero has made a nice running catch in each of the last 3 games. He looks ready with the "D", now he just needs to tear it up with the bat. He makes steady contact and has a nice RF approach. The Redhawk outfield alignment even had a shift on when he was at bat that looked like a lefty was in the box. Maybe he needs to start pulling the ball to increase his power. More on this in the Dave Williams interview I am preparing.
