    SIM 2



    Washington Bats- 7-5; 1/2 GB
    After starting 5-1, the Bats lose bother series 2-3, falling back to 2nd in the Stout at 7-5.

    The Good
    -2004 Rule V draft choice SP Pat Powell made his debut as a starter this week after a brief relief appearance the opening week. Against Philly, he pitched 8.1 innings, 5 hits, 2 ER, 6 strikeouts in a 3-2 win. I really like this kid. Former 17th overall pick in 2000, I was shocked he fell to me in the Rule V. If he can avoid the long ball, he should be able to survive at this level despite skipping Triple-A.

    How about SS Cy Gray? He is currently on pace for 27 homeruns and 176 RBI. Obviously with career highs of four HRs and 56 RBI, he won't even sniff half of those numbers, but right now he is crushing it. I think he likes hitting in the #9 hole, after the pitcher.

    The Bad
    Already made my first "benching" of the season. OF Willie Garcia has been demoted to #5 OF from starting LF. In his place, OF B.J. Jobe returns to the starting lineup and OF Toby Day will be the top backup. Not huge news, as I expected all three to platoon for time with the OF depth this team has.

    The Ugly
    Anytime Wilmington is in first place, it looks ugly.

    Next Week
    Stout Week! Three @ Death Valley and three @ Wilmington. I'm expecting good things. I'll say a sweep of DVS and 2-1 against the Blue Wave.

    The Minors
    I'm interested to see how accurate the new minor league system report is. I'm seeing a lot of guys that are projected to be ready for the next level that I wouldn't have expected to see so early. Might wait it out a little.

      Yeah, I had 4 guys in AAA, 4 guys in AA(Including a catcher with his first at bats ever in AA) and 2 in A.

      Told my scout to blow himself. We cook a bit more then that here.

            Have you guys seen the HOF selection list? It is about 50 players on there. Brad must have his hands full trying to make threads for all of these guys.

              Haven't dug that deep. But I think with OOTP14, combined with the removal of compensation picks, there will be players found in the 5th round.

                It's a mess at the moment. Some of those guys that are presently showing have already failed on previous ballots. I'm assuming it has something to do with the update of Statslab versions. I'm hoping this weekend to have it cleaned up.

                  I saw that. The fact that Cahill didn't get inducted is a shame.
