Pawtucket 1-5. Least Artie Stewart is putting in a noble effort.

Back in the minors:

Org #8 prospect Ito joined Saucedo in AAA this week and just like every level he's played in did well (.368/ .842slg) Even though he hasn't cracked the top 100, he just feels like a player to me. Probably destined for 3B.

Overall we feel good about our future IF with Boyce/ Saucedo/ Ito. Just won't see much power amongst this group which maybe why these kids won't see much play on the top 100.(my scout has POT contacts of 6 for all of them) Our power will probably come from our OF's. Keep an eye on former Colonial Bobby Lopez ! 22 homeruns in AA. One of many switch hitters in our system at the moment.

Speaking of top 100, we moved down to #11th this week though its less about players dropping and more about Virginia rising 15pts past Pawtucket this week. If anything the 6 kids for us have been having fine seasons with Quinn obviously grabbing most of the headlines.

Lol, Wilmington and Washington are being real stubborn about they're draft position.

[Carlos]

The goal was to be 3 GB after this week. We fell back to 4. Can't beat Hartford or Mississippi. Been like that all season.

2-4. The starting pitching has been somewhat shaky. Bollati has really turned a bad corner this past month.

Yeah, Salcedo had another huge week in A and jumped to #5 on BA. Going to be a winner. Hope I have a place for him.

Virginia - 6-0 this week

California - 6-0 this week

I'm officially tapping out on trying to stay in the Homefield race. California is just destined to win 120 this year.

For one week, we seem to have momentarily halted our death spiral.

Von Haynes wants a huge extension and just completely fell off the top players list. Poor timing, my friend. In other top player news, RJ Curtis and his 2 wins this season have fallen to 4th among pitchers, just in front of teammate Alex Martinez. Still a good 1-2 combo, but RJ's inability to get his act together this year is disconcerting. I wish we had a bigger WC lead so we could shut him down for a bit, but alas.

thought I might be able to keep up with you, but we now have a losing record since the all-star break. The fans want LiquidCrash back.

Wow, a Dane Stanton sighting on the top performances list. Fascinating!

I thought everyone was ignoring the defending champs playing .592 ball with 2 pitchers on the top pitchers list?

Oh everyone is still ignoring us. We can't all be Virginia or California, but we're doing our thing over here in the DL.

[Clay]

If anyone in the DL is being under appreciated it's the Dinos.

Amazing record considering how many road games they've already player (64 : 44-20). Should be a fun series this week in LA.

[Jake]

Dana Scott is on pace for 22 HR's.

The Mayans were right...

I think the state of California is paying attention to a different Lager team.

Had another season ending injury to a top prospect. Javier Gonzalez out 7 months with the dreaded Radial nerve thing. He's already had the torn labrum so this is not good news.

The good news is we're still stockpiled with arms, but as you can see you can never have too many.

I was watching last year's Lager champ too - until they were beaten in the playoffs by an 80-win team.
