Minor League Scorebook
News
- Kevin Goldstein ranks the minor league catchers out there now, and likes Jeff Clement best of all of 'em; the name Jeff Mathis never comes up, but at the tenth spot, Hank Conger does, an interesting comment considering Conger has yet to play the position professionally (he's been the AZL Angels' full-time DH).
- Howie Kendrick and Jered Weaver will be on the PCL All-Star squad, assuming they don't both get a callup tomorrow. Joe Saunders also gets a nod in his first AAA appearance. Dodgers prospect James Loney will represent the 51's.
- Following Friday's awful performance by Oliver Perez, the Pirates sent their erstwhile ace down to AAA Indianapolis, and recalled Tom Gorzelanny.
- Update: Thanks to the anonymous dude in the comments for mentioning that Jose Arredondo was promoted to AA Arkansas. The Travs, no doubt, will be grateful for the help, if indeed he proves to be help; recall Rafael Rodriguez's dominance at Rancho, only to be overwhelmed by the Texas League. Chris Hunter moves to the bullpen even though Arredondo's promotion merely completes a depleted roster (increased to 23 with the move). Arredondo will join the team on Sunday.
- Update 2: Thanks again, Anon, for the tip that Nick Adenhart has been promoted to Rancho and will start on Sunday. I'm SO there. (Karl Gelinas was moved to the inactive list to make room.)
- Anthony Ortega was moved up to Cedar Rapids from Orem to take Adenhart's place at Cedar Rapids.

Moseley: (W, 8-3), 7.0 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 8 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 3.14 ERA
Dustin Moseley didn't strike out too many guys, but he did a workman-like job of keeping the other guys down as the Bees won on another strong offensive showing. Howie Kendrick and Adam Pavkovich both homered in the win, Pavkovich driving in half the team's runs by himself. Howie's .388 average still leads the PCL.

Eww. Michael Collins and Sean Rodriguez both had good offensive nights, but that's about all we can draw from this game. The rest of it was all about Francisco Rodriguez and three other relievers getting scored upon in crooked numbers; only Kevin Jepsen and Rafael Cruz Chavez managed to post zeros, and that for only an inning and a third.

Not much going on here for the Owlz, but you do have to like some of those offensive lines. Possibly a tandem start for Kenneth Herndon, though it's hard to be sure.

Miller: 1.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 4.32 ERA
Back-to-back homers by Eric Riggs and Delwyn Young were part of a five-run first inning that gave the 51's a lead they would not relinquish. Both Joel Hanrahan and Greg Miller had fine outings. Lance Carter gave up an earned run for a two-out save, but despite it, his ERA is down to 2.31 in a tough environment. Maybe AAAA is his calling.

26-year-old non-prospect T.J. Nall pitched a very good game, but what is he doing in AA? Unanswerable questions aside, Justin Ruggiano clearly had a very good night, driving in half the team's runs.

Jose Arreodono was promoted from Rancho to Arkansas, by the way.

Well, I'm glad I made it out to Rancho last week to see Arredondo. I was planning to do so again for his next mid-week start, but I guess I'll have to go see Adenhart instead. I was really hoping for an A&A double-header. Oh well.
Too bad I can't go on Sunday; otherwise, I'd be there. Rob: I strongly urge you to invest in the best seats at the Epicenter, which are all of eleven bucks. You can sit right behind home plate, as I did, surrounded by scouts. I chatted with several when I was there. I gotta admit, sitting so close to the action, I actually flinched a couple of times on Arredondo's high, mid-90s fastballs. It's a pretty darned cool vantage point.
This move reinforces what some of the scouts said about Arredondo possibly being ready for the big leagues next year. This would put him on roughly the same track as Ervin Santana, who pretty much made the jump from AA to the majors, with a brief interlude at SLC. A couple of good starts at Arkansas, and Arrendondo probably becomes a pretty desirable piece of trade bait.
How's this for a potential 2008 rotation: Lackey, Santana, Escobar, WTY, and either Adenhart or Arredondo (or both if someone gets traded)?
