- Francisco Rodriguez, the other one, won the MILB Player of the Day award for yesterday's complete game shutout of Visalia.
- I haven't been to a Dirtbags game in a while, anyway, but it's interesting to see 3B Evan Longoria still getting mentions as the top position player in the draft.
- Eric Neel has a piece up at ESPN Insider about the two Weavers ($$). Excerpt:
Jeff Weaver knows what you think of him.
He hears you snickering even now, about the meltdowns in Detroit and the Bronx, about the screaming into his glove, about the body language so obvious it reads like closed captioning for the hearing-impaired. He knows you have him pegged as a punch line: the soft surfer dude who couldn't cut it in New York, the hothead hot prospect who never really panned out.
You know what else he knows? He's not done yet.
Jered Weaver figures you've been laughing behind his back too, ever since his run-in with cops one night last winter at a Long Beach bar. He knows you know how good his numbers are, but he also knows you're waiting, believing the implosions and the flameout are only a matter of time.
You know what else he knows? He's just getting started.
- Buster Olney thinks the Angels system is loaded:
Manny Ramirez dangled in the winter trade market, and Angels GM Bill Stoneman could have plucked him like a ripe grape. Privately, talent evaluators from two AL West rivals prayed that Stoneman would pull the trigger on a deal that would have depleted some of the club's surplus of prospects, even if it meant seeing Manny in the LA lineup right after Vlad.
Huh, I swear that sounds familiar..."But he didn't," sighed one exec. "Now it's going to be a whole lot tougher for us in the future."

Another Jered Weaver gem. His strikeouts are down, his groundballs up, maybe a little (10 flyball outs vs. 5 groundball outs), and, well, so what now? Midseason callup? Colon's next turn? Nick Gorneault, who gets no love, homered, and Kendry Morales drove in two on a trio of singles; Curtis Pride went 4-5, his first multi-hit game since April 15.

Tim Didjurgis comes back down to earth, obscuring a good outing by Stephen Marek; Didjurgis failed to strike out anybody, and walked two. Is he injured? Or just having a bad night?

Julio Pimentel exploded for six runs over eight hits and five innings against a Lakeland roster that had every one of its batters get a hit. The Dodgers rallied in the ninth for four runs after giving up two in the top half of the frame, but couldn't quite tie it up.

Comments:
I really want to get out to Rancho to see Arredondo. If he keeps this up, he'll be in Arkansas pretty soon. Then again, it's only a matter of time before Adenhart becomes a Quake.

Another Jered Weaver gem. His strikeouts are down...
His strikeouts are down? It's one g**damn outing! He's still well over a K per inning!
Rob, I hate to say it, but either you are very picky or very dumb...
