Probable Starters

 

Tennessee: LHP Brooks Raley (1-0, 2.79 ERA, 19.1 IP, 8 K, 2 BB)

Daytona: LHP Austin Kirk (1-0, 1.54 ERA, 23.1 IP, 9 K, 5 BB)

Peoria: LHP Gerardo Concepcion - (2010-11 in Cuban National Series: 10-3, 3.36 ERA, 101.2 IP, 53 K, 43 BB) - US pro debut

Hey hey three lefties and one or two might not suck.

[Guest]

Oh, damn. I missed where Concepcion got the call up from XST. Nice.

[Guest]

Gerardo Concepcion isn't the only Cuban lefty to get bumped up from Extended - Frank Del Valle is making his 2012 debut as Daytona's starter.

[BeerHere]

I'd like to see Raley miss more bats but he's keeping the walks down so far. Mildly impressed with his start to the season.

[BeerHere]

Del Valle went 6 but gave up 4 on 5 hits, a walk and 6 K's

 

Szczur was 0-3 but drew a walk, scored twice and had two SB. 5SB's total for Daytona. Torreyes was 2-5 with 2 runs scored.

[sneakypower]

Torreyes also played SS and stole 2nd & 3rd during the same AB

 

.421/.522/.737 his past 5 games (0 K)

[Guest]

Horrible 1st for Concepcion: 1 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Horrible 1st for Concepcion: 1 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR.

 

We've made a huge mistake.

[BeerHere]

Horrible 1st for Concepcion: 1 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR.

He's settled down after that rocky start. He's still in there in the 6th and has not given up another run since the first.

Well at least Concepcion settled down. Any tweets or something in velocity?

 

Is he 19 or 20?

Yesterday in Arizona, Jose Arias impressed:

 

The Cub Reporter[/url]"]21-year old 6’5 RHP Jose Arias got the start for the Cubs and worked three innings, and although he did allow two runs on four hits and a walk, he also struck out seven. Arias was considered the Cubs #1 pitching prospect in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) last season, and will likely be a rotation starter at AZL Cubs this year. He was throwing gas today.

 

Today, Dan Vogelbach hit a HR and Javier Baez broke his 0/20 slump:

 

The Cub Reporter[/url]"]Even with the recent batting skid, Baez is hitting 278/278/750 with three HR, three triples, two doubles, and 12 RBI in ten EXST games (36 PA). He also has no walks and 11 strikeouts (all swinging), two stolen bases (no CS), and he has committed six errors in the field (four throwing, two fielding).
