Minor League Scorebook
As usual, warmup news, all of which comes from FutureAngels, and a big hat tip as always to Stephen:
- Here's the hardly unexpected Angels press release announcing that Brandon Wood has been named the 2005 California League Most Valuable Player.
- I admit I don't check Fox Sports as often as I do ESPN, so that explains why I missed this day-old Dayn Perry look at the top prospects in the AL West. Would it surprise you to find the Angels have four prospects (Brandon Wood, Howie Kendrick, Jered Weaver, Erick Aybar), and the Mariners (just-drafted-and-signed C Jeff Clement) and A's (1B Daric Barton, formerly with the Cardinals) only one apiece?
- My favorite Aussie catcher, Michael Collins, has been named to the Midwest League All-Star game. Good on ya, mate.
- Update: Normally I would have waited until tonight to get to this one, as it's been leaked quite a bit over the last week, but since this post is still on top and somebody mentioned it in the comments below, here it is: Baseball America named the Dodgers AA Jacksonville Suns club the most talented team in the minors.
Dodgers fans can and will compare such a grouping to LA’s all-time infield of Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Ron Cey and Bill Russell, who were the Dodgers’ primary infield starters from 1974-81. It’s easy for fans to want the Jacksonville group to stay together, to have a replacement for their past heroes. That’s particularly true considering that when Adrian Beltre and Paul Lo Duca left the team last year (free agent and mid-season trade), the Dodgers had no homegrown starters left in the lineup.
“We are trying to keep them together, and we would like to,” DePodesta says. “We like the competitiveness we see in them and the camaraderie. To have them move up together would be a huge benefit to the whole organization.”

Shearer, a 14th-round pick from Elkins High in the geographically uncertain city of Missouri City, Texas, pitched his best game of the year, matching his season high for innings pitched, and setting the personal record this year for single-game strikeouts, doubling his previous best of five.

Doesn't surprise me. Hernandez, Rivera, Strong, Morse, Gonzalez, Blanton, Swisher, Street, and so on. All their prospects are already in the big leagues.
