Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-24-12

[Guest]

In a sign that the person manning the stats for the AZL Cubs must be drunk, Jorge Soler is apparently playing SS with Almora playing 3B.

 

AZ Phil has mentioned a few times to always take AZL box scores with a grain of salt because the official scorer is busy calling in MiLB headquarters to relay what happened every half inning.

Albert Almora reaches on a fielding error by shortstop Dorssys Paulino. Shawon Dunston scores.

Jorge Soler reaches on a force attempt, fielding error by shortstop Dorssys Paulino. Albert Almora to 2nd.

 

$1.1 million signing bonuses don't go as far as they used to.

Almora grounds out but Soler has an RBI single. Everyone freak out or something.

[rawaction]

Almora and Soler both with RBIs in the 2nd.

 

Almora RBI groundout. Almora grounded out to SS with runners on 2nd and 3rd and both advanced. That's odd. Soler IF hit for RBI.

Amlung struck out the side.

Dunston is having an encouraging stetch as of late. Has his BA up to .292 and has a 2B and 3B tonight.

@billazbbphotog: Albert Almora with a nice running, over the shoulder catch in left center for AZL #Cubs. Covered a lot of ground.

40 speed, 80 range. This is a real thing.

[TruffleShuffle]

almora plays the game so well that opponents play the game the WRONG way against him. he's reached three times on errors tonight.

[Quakers]

Dunston is having an encouraging stetch as of late. Has his BA up to .292 and has a 2B and 3B tonight.

 

I think Dunston is going to end up being a decent prospect. He was just a bit over matched at the plate in Boise. Give him some time.
