Arizona Phil[/url]"]Recently-signed 20-year old Cuban mega-defector Jorge Soler ($30M nine-year contract) is taking BP with the AZL Cubs, but he isn't quite ready for game action yet.

Vitters declined the spot in the HR derby that Myers also turned down (that I mentioned in yesterday's thread, I think).

Geez. What's with the lack of love for the HR Derby?

It does them no good in their quest to become major league players, and there is a perception that this type of event can hurt your performance in the following weeks.

i don't understand how this is much different than trying to hit home runs in batting practice.

I don't think hitting coaches want you trying to hit HR in BP. But taking an out of control hack or two is probably different than going through an entire tournament of HR hacks.

Buckner commented the other day that if a guy does hit one out in BP for Boise, they are required to either go up-the-middle or opposite-way on their next swing. Don't want guys getting HR-happy.

 

Steven Bruno has 6 errors in 12 games.

 

Marcano and Malave each are hitting .250. But K-rates are very modest. Malave has 19 walks and 83 AB.

Albert Mineo made his U.S. pro debut this morning in Arizona. He went 0/2 with 2 BB and a K. Vogelbach went 1/5.

[rawaction]

Jackson took the first 3 pitches out of the zone, before looking at strike 1, missing strike 2, and looking at strike 3. Vitters with a 4-pitch walk.

[TruffleShuffle]

judging by the gamecast, vitters swung at a first pitch in the dirt with the bases loaded and the pitcher having walked the previous two batters on 9 pitches total. :?

 

did hit a sac fly on a 1-2 pitch though.

There's a reason they call them Runs Batted In and not Runs Walked In, Bro

[ctcf]

Swinging K #2 on the night for BJax

[ctcf]

Vitters came back from down 0-2 and evened up the count before hitting an RBI single.

[TruffleShuffle]

loving the walks from szczur

[imb]

mega-defector is a great term

[davell]

Candelario with an RBI single in the 1st.

[Little Slide Rooter]

With a line of .378/.481/.556, is Jenner Emeterio close to joining the ranks of Amaya and Hernandez as another exciting young MI prospect? And can they please just send Encarnacion to Boise or Peoria?
