Spencer Howard RHP- 4 IP 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K.  ERA= 4.63.
Clay Helvey RHP- 2 IP,  1 H,  0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.75.
Cody Stashak RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.  ERA= 2.70.
Nick Avila RHP- 1 IP,  0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

6 different River Cats ad 1 hit each. Luis Matos hit was a double.  Reminder that Spencer Howard is a former top prospect who fell on hard times.

AA:  Akron Rubber Ducks edged out the Richmond Flying Squirrels 4-3:

Hunter Bishop DH- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .247.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds beat the Spokane Indians 7-2:

Lonsway and Corry are two LHP's with good stuff who have been plagued by control/command issues.  Are they figuring it out?

  1. This is Hunter Bishop's 6th year.
    He became R5 last year (or before?).
    Does he become a Free Agent this year?

  2. Doc, I know it's early in the season and probably my frustration should be tempered. But I am starting to worry about this Front office's ability to actually produce position players. The inability to have Matos or Luciano force the team's hand is really starting to worry me.

    Ramos and Casey Schmitt performances have been great, but I think it's clear that their ceilings are probably second division regulars at best.

    But the pipeline is looking really really thin. If at least a couple more of this grouping of position players can't force the issue, I would be seriously worried for this Front Office's future. They can't sustainably keep filling the starting 9 from FA.

    Though on the other hand we also cannot forget about Patrick Bailey but he is the only one to break through so far.
