DJ Wilson is back with South Bend.

[davell]

Hatch with a solid start, 5 6 1 1 1 5, on 85 pitches.

[davell]

MEKKES WATCH.....

 

2 0 0 0 0 4.

 

I deduct an unknown amount of points for not K'ing the other two helpless batsmen.

[Schmidt]

Eddy Julio with a HR for second consecutive night. Since all star break, these are his numbers (not counting tonight's 2-5 with a HR:

 

.380 .415 .560 .975

 

He's making me pay attention, although he has to keep it up for more than 15 or so games.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

15th rounder Jared Young (Old Dominion), 16th rounder Brandon Hughes (Michigan State) and 29th rounder Jake Steffens (Santa Clara) all made their pro debuts today with Eugene.

RP M. Rodriguez 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 1-2 GO-FO..

 

16K/1BB over last 10 innings. Is this the short

 

stocky Mexican guy who supposedly has a decent fastball and sometimes curve? Was used and decent in a Mexcian league at 18, then kind of went backwards last year?

 

Did he cost anything?

 

Wondering if he's JAG who's happening to put up some numbers against short-season. Or if he might be a big-league prospect.

 

Anybody have any insights or thoughts on him?

 

Cubswin, thanks for notes on Morel the other day. Might be a good hitting prospect, if he adds strength. Hmm, 11 errors in 23 games isn't super encouraging defensively.

That's the same Manuel Rodriguez. He got a $400k bonus last year. Well, we all know about the bonus system in Mexico - Rodriguez only actually got $100k of that and it's probably a lot tougher to value just how good a Mexican prospect is at his signing since their bonuses can be so easily and publicly manipulated.

 

The only thing Arizona Phil mentioned about Rodriguez this Extended Spring Training was to say he was more likely to stay and start in Arizona this summer than go to Eugene.
