Minor League Scorebook
News
- I earlier said that Jered Weaver would be "likely" pitching at Salt Lake for his final rehab start. Turns out I was wrong, as the Times has him also working out at Rancho.
- In that same article, Chris Bootcheck, who ended up a minor
league free agent in the offseason when the Angels pulled him
off the 40-man roster, had two choices: become a free agent, or
re-sign on a minor league deal. If he elected to re-sign,
Bootcheck faced a rotation seven deep, and a bullpen with only
one open spot — but he wanted another chance to work with
Mike Butcher, and another spring training camp.
So Bootcheck signed with the Angels. In the meantime, they traded for Phil Seibel and Chris Resop, two guys on major league contracts. But Bootcheck outpitched them in spring training and won that last bullpen spot, and Manager Mike Scioscia extended congratulations.
"One thing that will always stand out in my mind: He said, 'You earned it,' " Bootcheck said. "As a player, I don't think anybody can say anything else that would make you feel as good."

Gonzalez, M: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 0.00 ERA
A teriffic game by Nick Adenhart, making his debut for Arkansas this eason. Sean Rodriguez contributed a solo homer off Frisco starter Eric Gagne, working in the first; he struck out one and walked none, and now owns a 5.40 ERA. I'm sure he'd tell you that his arm felt just fine before the game.

Update: In Gagne's defense, the weather at Dr. Pepper Ballpark was blisteringly cold, 42 degrees at game time.
Despite being saddled with the loss, Gagne was pleased with his outing. ‘I felt a little stiffness, but felt good,” Gagne said after his appearance. “My curveball and change up were not as good as yesterday, but I tried to work everything.”
2007-04-07: Lake Elsinore 0, Rancho Cucamonga 3 #
Statia: 1-4, 1 K
Renz: 1-1, 2 RBI, 2 BB
Toussaint: 0-3, 1 K
Ortega: (W, 1-0), 5.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 H, 5 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
Anthony Ortega posted a very good start, striking out five while walking none and giving up only three hits over five scoreless frames. Jordan Renz walked twice and hit a sac fly that Storm centerfielder Yordany Ramirez misplayed into an unearned run and allowed Renz to reach. Darren O'Day struck out all three batters he faced to get the save.
Renz: 1-1, 2 RBI, 2 BB

Trumbo: 1-3, 1 K
Conger: 1-3, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K
Ortiz, W: 2-2, 1 3B
Phillips: 0-2
Herndon: 6.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1.50 ERA
Madrigal: (L, 0-1) (in relief), 0.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 13.50 ERA
Sub-freezing temperatures complicated a surprisingly tight pitching duel that featured a very strong outing by Kenneth Herndon. Hank Conger's fourth inning solo homer gave the Kernels the lead, but the Snappers scratched out a run in the bottom of the fifth to tie things up. Then, Warner Madrigal, who did well in spring training in limited (2.1 IP) service, got knocked around in a tumultuous ninth inning. Madrigal almost got out of a men-on-the-corners, one-out jam when he elicited a tapper to the box, with Conger getting the tag at home plate. But then with first baseman Johnny Woodard at second, catcher Gregory Yersich smacked a walkoff single to end the game in seven innings, the first of two scheduled; the second was postponed due to the freezing temperatures.

The Kernels have Sunday off, due to Easter, and will resume play on Monday.

2007-04-07: Las Vegas 3, Salt Lake 7 #
Abreu: 1-4, 2 K
Loney: 1-4, 1 RBI
LaRoche: 0-4, 1 K
Young: 2-4
Mays: (L, 0-1), 5.0 IP, 5 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 3.60 ERA
An RBI by James Loney and Delwyn Young's 2-4 day were about all the 51's could salvage from this stinker. Joe Mays got clobbered in his first appearance for Las Vegas, striking out nobody while walking one. Three of his five runs were off errors by shortstop Tomas Perez, who committed two, one of which resulted in Nick Gorneault scoring. In the fourth, Tony Abreu botched a play that allowed Matt Brown to reach, and eventually score (along with two others).
