Minor League Scorebook
It's Monday, which automatically means a lot of news. Let's get busy...
- Allison Ann Otto in the Press-Enterprise suggests that the Dodgers should now be thinking about trading Sele and calling up Billingsley.
- The weekly notebooks are up for the PCL (Bees, 51's), the Texas League (Travelers), the Cal League (Quakes), the Midwest League (Kernels), the Southern League (Suns), the Florida State League (Vero Beach Dodgers), and the Sally League (Catfish).
- No players in any of the Angels or Dodgers system were given a Player or Pitcher of the Week award.
- In my most recent slide show, I talked briefly about J.R. House. Here's a piece about him, and how he was a former quarterback in high school, and ultimately signed with Houston as a free agent.

Saunders struggled to make a seven-run first inning from his offense stand up; the Bees chased Rainiers starter Francisco Cruceta after only one inning. Bulger has a sexy ERA, and Dallas McPherson took a walk per Mike Scioscia's request:
"He is trying to get a consistent shorter path to the ball," Scioscia said. "His swing is like a lot of power hitters. It is long and it has a lot of holes in it."Nick Gorneault was a home run short of the cycle.McPherson has 48 strikeouts in 99 at-bats this season, but the Angels would live with the higher strikeout numbers if he could balance his production by walking more.
"There has been a walk in his game in the Minor Leagues, but as he progressed that has kind of disappeared," Scioscia said.

Alvarez, C: (W, 3-0) (in relief), 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 8 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 3.43 ERA
Justin Ruggiano blasted a pair of solo homers, while two other Suns had multi-hit nights, including Matt Kemp, who hit a grand slam. Justin Orenduff left the game in the second inning after walking two batters; he reported a sore shoulder. The start of the game was delayed almost 90 minutes due to rain, which may have had something to do with it.

Castillo, A: 3.0 IP, 8 ER, 9 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 3 HR, 6.88 ERA
All the crooked numbers: Blue Jay Ryan Patterson went 6-6 with three homers in a slugfest that saw six balls leave the park. Five errors (three by Dunedin, two by Vero including one by Blake Dewitt) helped grease the scoring, too. It took a total of ten pitchers (six for Dunedin, four for Vero) to get out of the game. Nominal shortstop Jimmy Rohan made his first pitching appearance of the year, breaking Aaron Mathews' bid for a 7-7 night.

2006-05-08: Columbus 10, Kannapolis 1 #
De Jesus: 4-6, 1 3B, 1 RBI
Pedroza: 2-6, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K
Mitchell: 2-6, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
Mooneyham: 3-3, 1 BB
Sutherland: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Apodaca: 2-3, 2 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Bastardo: (W, 3-1), 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 3 BB, 1.39 ERA
Pratt: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 4.79 ERA
Rodriguez, J: 2.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 2 BB, 8.27 ERA
A scoreless tie through four, Kannapolis posted its only run in the bottom of the fifth on a sac fly from Leonardo Acosta. The crucial sixth inning was a comedy of errors, starting with a double by Russell Mitchell, an HBP on Jason Mooneyham, and an attempted Andrew Locke sac bunt. However, third baseman Adam Ricks threw away the ball, and everyone was safe, thus setting up the bases-loaded chaos that ended up with five runs scoring that inning alone. Great game by Ivan De Jesus.
