hahahahaha. Looks like I missed out on a good time.

Jose Paulino piggy backed for five innings after Steele went two. Paulino struck out 4, walked one, and gave up three hits. He's got 50 Ks in 45.1 IP, along with 18 BBs and 3 HRs.

Yeah, he's been someone I've been following since he put up good numbers in the DSL as a 17-year-old and then again the following year. He's 6'2", needs to fill out some. I'm just a box score scout, so all I knew was that he fit the profile of a hit per inning or less, a K per inning or more and a good K/BB ratio. Once I heard AZ Phil's scouting report on him, then I really started following him. Any age appropriate lefty who throws low-to-mid 90s and can miss bats has a chance. He''s got plenty of developing left to do, but he's got some tools to work with for sure.

This probably falls into the category of who gives a flying [expletive], but as of yesterday, Taylor Davis was at AA, leaving Taylor Teagarden and somebody Luke Carlin as the AAA catching tandem. Not that I'm concerning myself with any of the three, though Davis is a decent enough fringe prospect, but I have to wonder if the intent is to move Contreras to AAA, but wanted to wait until after the Tenn. double header.

Well which is it, dammit?

Tseng threw 6 with 7 Ks. He gave up 6 hits, 2 runs, and a walk.

 

Tseng's been very good after his rough start to the season. And at 20 years old, he's about 3 years below his league average.

 

Random Stuff

 

Vogel-back (yeah I went there) 1-1 with a 2B and 3BB in his triumphant return for the AZL Cubs.

 

Also for the AZL, Carlos Rodriguez (one of those guys who only I care about) went 3 scoreless with 3 H and 0/8 BB/K.

 

I think Mendy's dead.
