11. Casey Kotchman
16. Joel Guzman
18. Andy LaRoche
19. Brandon Wood
28. Kendry Morales
37. Jeff Mathis
38. Chad Billingsley

And with that, on to the show...

2005-08-17: Salt Lake 4, Portland 2

Quinlan: 0-4
Pride: 1-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Mathis, J: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Gorneault: 1-3
Woods: 3.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 6.62 ERA
Andrews: (W, 7-8) (in relief), 3.2 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 6.38 ERA
I was listening to Angel Talk -- please, I don't make a habit out of it, try not to think less of me for it -- after tonight's game, when some nitwit stepped to the microphone and made the comment that the team should haul up Curtis Pride because he's a clutch hitter. Oh, God, I thought, and then -- this. Well, maybe he was right, but only at AAA.

Mathis continues his bid to return to the big club, and not just as a third caddy.

2005-08-17: Midland 5, Arkansas 8
Aybar, E: 0-4
Willits, R: 0-3
Kendrick, H: 1-5
Napoli, M: 2-5, 1 RBI
Murphy: 2-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI
Morales, K: 1-3
Aspito: 2-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Porter: 0-2, 2 BB
Eylward: 2-4
Serrano: (W, 2-0) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 1.10 ERA
Tommy Murphy smacked a walkoff grand slam in this one, which ended a six-game losing streak. Murphy's was the first walkoff slam since the Travs became affiliated with the Angels in 2001.
2005-08-17: Visalia 3, Rancho Cucamonga 0
Wood, B: 1-3
Edwards: (L, 6-7), 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 6 K, 1 BB, 4.57 ERA
Thompson: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 5.16 ERA
2005-08-17: Southwest Michigan 6, Cedar Rapids 7
Casilla: 2-4, 1 RBI
Rodriguez, S: 1-2, 2 BB, 1 RBI
Sutton: 2-3, 1 RBI
Collins: 1-3, 1 RBI
Madrigal: 1-3
Ray: (W, 6-4), 5.0 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 2 K, 2 BB, 4.45 ERA
Simard: 2.0 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 5.90 ERA
Gonzalez: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 4.65 ERA

Sales: 2-4, 1 RBI
Davies: 2-3
Espinoza: (L, 4-3), 6.1 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 8 K, 2 BB, 3.92 ERA
West: 2.1 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 3.86 ERA
Another Gustavo Espinoza special, complete with the usual wailing about the necessity of missing bats. Kid can strike 'em out when he's on, but he's also plenty hittable.
2005-08-17: Orem did not play
2005-08-17: Las Vegas 3, Tacoma 5
Young, D: 1-3, 2 BB
Aybar: 3-5, 1 RBI
Grabowski: 0-3, 2 BB
Nall: 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 7.04 ERA
Mahomes: (L, 8-9) (in relief), 2.1 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 5.11 ERA
2005-08-17: Jacksonville 9, Mississippi 4
Weber, J: 0-2, 3 BB
Martin, R: 0-4
Guzman, J: 2-4
Loney: 2-4
LaRoche, A: 1-3, 2 RBI
Ruggiano, J: 3-4, 1 HR, 4 RBI
Juarez: 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 4.14 ERA
Perez: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 K, 2 BB, 1.04 ERA
Gonzalez, L: 2.0 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 2.02 ERA
Twelve wins? What's a measely twelve wins in a row when you can have a baker's dozen? Justin Ruggiano's grand slam powered the Suns to another franchise record winning streak. Birmingham also beat North Division-leading Carolina 9-4 to maintain a two and a half game lead in the standings.
2005-08-17: Vero Beach 4, Daytona 11
Hu: 1-5
Raglani: 2-5, 1 RBI
Kemp: 3-4, 2 RBI
Paul: 0-1
Dunlap: 1-5

Bruce: 2-4
Hoffmann: 2-4
Pimentel: (L, 8-8), 3.1 IP, 7 ER, 7 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 4.43 ERA
Pimentel got knocked out way early. Oops. Kemp and Raglani held up their end of the deal, though.
2005-08-17: Rome 10, Columbus 6 (Completed Early: Doubleheader)
Dewitt: 2-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Nelson: (L, 3-2), 4.0 IP, 8 ER, 11 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 4.96 ERA

Dewitt: 1-2
Laurin: 0-1, 2 BB
Elbert: (W, 7-5), 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 13 K, 3 BB, 2.88 ERA
YOW!! Man, look at all those, pretty, pretty K's, and that beeyootiful 2.88 ERA.
2005-08-17: GCL Marlins 8, GCL Dodgers 6
Bell: 2-5
Gutierrez: 2-4
Paris: 4.0 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 5.64 ERA

2005-08-17: Ogden did not play

Comments:
Wow, Kendrick doesn't even make the top 50?
 
And Hanley Ramirez is the best prospect at short in all of baseball? Yeah, right.
