Minor League Discussion & Boxes 9-4-2006

Bah, nothing in the BoiseHawks.com writeup:

 

Tri-City had just four hits, one off the starter Jose Ceda who pitched just two innings, two off Mike Billek in two and one-third innings and one of Ruhlman.

 

If I can't find anything else tomorrow, I'll drop their announcer an e-mail.

Oh yeah, thank you to Ron and Nathan. And thank you for Outshined for doing these threads (except when you wuss out because of school :P).

 

I concur! Great job guys and thanks to all of you that help make this possible.

Hrm, the story on BoiseHawks.com and the story in the Idaho Statesman make it sound not that big a deal that Ceda didn't last that long - all reminiscent of that time when Guzman went 1 inning only because he was being saved for the big league team.

Felix's final AAA numbers:

 

.283/.342/.452/.794 - 33 2Bs, 8 3Bs, 15 HRs, 46 BBs, 126 Ks, 17/28 SBs.

 

Not good enough:

 

We do wish he'd done better. He's got a few things to learn, according to our scouts, about playing the game. Everybody's clamoring for him, but it's not up to me."

I am really completely fine with keeping Pie away from Dusty, Clines and Sarge.

 

The less time he spends around them the better.

Hahaha. The funny thing is Pie's season mirrored Pierre's in terms of average; was around .240 the first half before pushing his average up to .283 at the end of the season. Baker is very quick to give Pierre his share of praise, but when Felix has a similar season (and when he's learning on the job how to hit AAA pitching at only 21 years old), he's all over him.
