Totally missed Cam Greathouse getting demoted to Mesa.

[StarlinOnYou]

Simpson smacked around again.

 

1ip / 2 ER / 3 hits / 2 Ks / 0 BB

 

8.56 ERA in the AZL....

 

I will not waste the 12 seconds looking up one of his boxscores again.

[imb]

Man, at least we had a few months of happy Pawelek days before he ate himself out of baseball.

Is that what ultimately happened?

Arizona Phil[/url]"]Cubs 2010 #1 draft pick RHP Hayden Simpson got the start today, and threw one inning (21 pitches - 15 strikes), allowing two runs (both earned) on three hits (a single, a double, and a triple), with two strikeouts, and one pick-off.

 

While it might appear that Simpson had a bad outing, he actually looked OK. He threw his fastball consistently for strikes, and both of his strikeouts came on his curve ball (which he is now throwing in games again). The double was a high chopper that bounced off the rock-hard dirt in front of home plate and up & over the head of third-baseman Gioskar Amaya and down the LF line, the RBI triple was a grounder that bounced over the 1st base bag and rolled into the RF corner, and the RBI single was a broken bat blooper into short right-center. Why he was limited to throwing just one inning (and 21 pitches), I do not know.

[TruffleShuffle]

austin reed is back to throwing batting practice.

[TruffleShuffle]

vitters went 2-5 and hit a game-winning single off jeff allison (remember him?)

 

someone needs to tell vitters to stop trying to steal bases, though. 4 SB/9 CS this year.

[StarlinOnYou]

Donovan Tate is killing Boise :banghead: -- 4/5 with 3 RBI

 

Golden has doubled in a run however. DeVoss is 0/2 with two walks.. I really like his approach.

 

Vitters continues to hit as mentioned above -- walkoff single and a 2 RBI game. .288 average on the year now.

[tfarks]

DeVoss is 0/2 with two walks.. I really like his approach.

 

Indubitably.

Does Vitters get a shot as a September call up?

[jersey cubs fan]

Does Vitters get a shot as a September call up?

 

I doubt it, and he really shouldn't. I think September call-ups are for guys with a decent shot at making next year's team, or as a nod to aging minor leaguers who deserve a cup of coffee. Vitters in the majors next April would be insane. Let him play all next year at AAA, and if he rakes, then consider a call-up next September (or better yet, trade his inflated AAA numbers for better players).

That would be a good idea if the PCL inflates his numbers next year. I can't see this organization doing something like that though.
