Minor League Scorebook
News
- Not that anybody cares especially but me, but it looks like Saturday's scorebook is going to be delayed until I can rewrite some of the XML parser to generate the missing index page.
- Kevin Goldstein looks
at the Dodgers' 2008 draft:
Draft Philosophy: While the first-round pick was exactly the type of talent one normally associates with the Dodgers, after that there was a surprising focus on college talent.
First Pick: Ethan Martin, RHP, Stephens County HS (GA) (15th overall)
How High He Could Have Gone: If the scenario that had one of the top college talents in the draft falling to Texas did not come to fruition, he could have gone high as 11.
Path To The Big Leagues: Martin has tremendous upside on the mound, but he’s probably going to move on the standard development path, taking three to four years.Rest of the First Day:
2. Josh Lindbloom, RHP, Purdue: A college reliever, he has a Lee Smith body and almost as much stuff.
3. Kyle Russell, OF, Texas: Plus-plus raw power and arm strength, but it comes at a cost in average and strikeouts.
4. Devaris Strange-Gordon, SS, Seminole CC (FL): Tom Gordon's son has crazy-good tools, but very limited experience and refinement.
5. Jon Michael Redding, RHP, Jacksonville CC (FL): A strike-throwing machine with solid fastball/slider mix.
6. Tony Delmonico, SS, Florida State: The son of a coach who plays the game the right way, but profiles as more of a utility type.Best Second-Day Selections:
7. Cole St. Clair, RHP, Rice: Expected to go higher, but an undefined arm injury made teams nervous; talent-wise he’s not far below Joe Savery, another Rice product who was a first-round pick last year.
16. Kyle Conley, OF, Washington: Size and power to spare, but he's a left fielder at best who will struggle to hit for average.
20. Zach Cox, 3B, Pleasure Ridge HS (LA): Built like a linebacker and with plus in-game power, Cox will need a significant bonus to sign.
Scores
Duff: 0-1, 2 BB
Loux: 6.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 9 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 4.27 ERA
Jepsen: (L, 0-1) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 1 HR, 3.18 ERA
Brandon Wood's solo homer was pretty much the highlight of the game from the Bees' perspective; Shane Loux managed to pull off another smoke-and-mirrors apperance, dancing through nine hits, walking three, and striking out only one batter. But in the end, the 51's pulled it out, as Justin Orenduff won it, thanks to John Lindsey's three-run homer in the top of the ninth off Kevin Jepsen, who was helped out when Freddie Sandoval failed to catch his end of a 1-3 groundout.
With the win, Las Vegas took the four-game series, while Salt Lake goes into a bit of a funk, losing four of their last five. Nonetheless, the Bees still have the best record in the PCL at 44-25, and are 8.5 games up on second-place Portland.
Ortiz, W: 0-3, 2 BB
Smith, Cor: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Collins: 2-4
Walker: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K
Toussaint: 1-3, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Ortega: (W, 7-4), 9.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 H, 10 K, 2 BB, 3.43 ERA
Anthony Ortega pitched a three-hit complete game shutout, as Drew Toussaint's fourth inning three-run jack turned out to be the scoring highlight of the game.
Phillips: 0-1
Nieves: 2-3, 1 BB
Mount: 1-4
Conger: 2-4, 2 RBI, 2 K
Anton: 5.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 H, 4 K, 5 BB, 5.40 ERA
Chambers: (L, 0-1) (in relief), 1.1 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 3 BB, 9.00 ERA
Leon: 1.2 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 9.72 ERA
Michael Anton survived his first Cal League appearance with a not terrible line, but it was the bullpen that really blew this game open, with the next two relievers each giving up three runs. Quakes pitching hit two batters, though neither had an effect on the outcome of the game.
Romine: 0-3, 1 BB
De Los Santos: 0-3, 1 K
Johnson: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Walden: (W, 3-5), 6.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 2.74 ERA
Bell: (H, 1), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 9.00 ERA
Towns: (S, 1), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 3.63 ERA
Trevor Bell got an unusual hold in only his second relief appearance of the year, and Jordan Towns got his first save of the season; Towns hasn't allowed an earned run in his last four appearances. Tyler Johnson hit a two-run homer, his fifth of the season.
The Kernels finished the first half of their season winning nine of their last eleven, but that couldn't stave off a losing 32-36 record and a fifth-place finish.
