walrond has 5 ip with 0 runs & 1 hit so far. does he have a future with the cubs or should they trade him? hoffp is 3-3 so far-when do they get rid of maybury & give this guys a chance in the majors?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Around the minors:

 

Iowa is up 2-0 in the 6th inning. Walrond has a 1-hitter going thus far. Felix Pie with a solo HR and is 2/3 (single and CS, HR to RF, GO 4-3).

 

WT is up 1-0 after 6 in Jackson, thanks to a Chris Walker solo HR. The Jaxx' only other hit is an EPatt IF single. Randy Wells has given up 4 hits through 6 shutout wtih 6 Ks.

 

Daytona lost 2-1. Jake Fox went 3 for 4 (all singles) with an RBI. Holliman went 6.1 and gave up 2 ER (7/1).

 

Peoria is up 6-1 in the 5th. Kyle Reynolds with a solo HR. Norwood is 2 for 3, Reynolds is 2 for 2. Scott Taylor has given up 1 ER on on 3 H through 4 innings.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Randy Wells' night should be over: 7 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 7/0, 106 pitches.

 

Randy's ERA is down to 1.12, WHIP to 0.89 in 47.1 innings. And he has 43 Ks to 8 BBs.

 

After 7, WT is still up 1-0. Clay Rapada now in for the Jaxx.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jaxx win 1-0! Clay Rapada gets the 2-inning save (his 17th of the season) to cap off Randy Wells' masterpiece.

 

After 7, Iowa is still up 2-0. Walrond now has a 3-hitter and has lowered his ERA to 2.22.

 

Peoria up 6-3 now in the 7th. Peoria had knocked out Burlington's starter with 5 ER in 0.1 innings.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa wins it 3-0. Walrond goes 8 shutout, gives up 4 hits and gets 6 Ks. Lightenberg pitches a 1-2-3 9th for the save. Hoffpauir went 3 for 5, Deardorff went 2 for 4, Fontenot 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and Pie 2 for 5 with that solo HR.

 

Peoria wins 6-4. Taylor went 6.1 and gave up 4 ER. Campusano gets the save.

Wow, there are a lot of pro-UCLA basketball, baseball and softball avatars and sigs in this thread.

 

I declare myself the king of this thread and Cedric Bozeman, Hector Ambriz, Andrea Duran and Mike Huff are my loyal soldiers.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Peoria is up by 2 in the first half wild card race.

hey can anyone tell me anything about this Randy Wells kid?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hoffpauir is the new Richard Lewis.

[Jon]

It's early June and Fox's OPS is still over .900.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

hey can anyone tell me anything about this Randy Wells kid?

 

Randy is a converted catcher. Not exactly sure about the pitches he throws - not sure if this is right, but I think he throws a low 90s FB, a slider and a change. He's generally had pretty good control and doesn't give up too many HRs. Here are his career stats.

 

He actually has his own journal here at NSBB: viewtopic.php?t=30283

walrond has 5 ip with 0 runs & 1 hit so far. does he have a future with the cubs or should they trade him?

 

He's a career minor leaguer who's 29 years old who's been bounced around the STL, KC, and FLA minor league teams, including a brief stint in the majors with KC where he got shelled.

 

I'd like to see the guy succeed and everything, but the odds of that happening are really slim.

Dopirak's bat hasn't lit the world on fire since he came back, but it's nice to see him striking out less and taking a few more walks. He doesn't seem to have lost anything defensively after the foot injury so hopefully if his bat comes back around he'll be considered a top prospect once again.
