    Tennessee down 3-1 after 3 innings. Jake Fox with an RBI double. Only one walk for Donnie in the fourth: 4 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 7 BB, 1 WP Mike Cooper gives up a run so far in the bottom of the 8th and Vero Beach leads it 4-3. Peoria tied at 1 in the middle of the third inning. Josh Lansford is 2 for 2 with 2 double. Muldowney: 2 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 3 K, 0 BB

    Needing a triple to hit for the cycle, Colvin strikes out swinging in the 7th inning.

    Not a great overall line, but he only walked one. The increase in his BB rate after his promotion last year had been the concern going into this season, so it's good to see that he's throwing strikes in his starts so far. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Also, he only had one bad inning today. I'm definitely much more disappointed with Veal - he's struggling to make up for his lack of control (he was able to dance around it at Peoria and Daytona and Sean was able to avoid too many problems at West Tenn last season despite the control issues).

    Ugh. 3 IP, 3 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 6 BB, 1 WP, 1 balk Peoria down 1-0 after 1. Lansford finally gets his second hit of the season and gets his BA over .100 (.125), but it's a double, so he's slugging .375.

    The first reason is why I can't see all three in the rotation at the same time. The Cubs got 1.5 (counting Prior as a half) out of a much more heralded trio of Prior-Cruz-Zambrano. It's just unlikely that all three will succeed at the bigs. While Samardzija is the furtherest behind, I think it's a near lock he'll make the big leagues before Veal since Samardzija is likely to get a September call-up since he's on the 40-man. I have to disagree with EJ on one thing, Samardzija is throwing his slider and change - not just his FB. He's still struggling with the mechanical aspects of his secondary pitches.

    Jesse Estrada gives up a run in the bottom of the 6th and Vero Beach ties Daytona at 3.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Samardizja's final line: 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 1 HR Daytona up 3-2 in the middle of the 6th.

    Peoria - game two: Camp 2B Mota SS Lansford 3B Canzler 1B Joseph CF Carter RF Lewis LF Lopez DH Castillo, W C Muldowney P

    This is Colvin's first game batting since game number 1 right? If so, that's a great very, very early start-5 for 6 with 2 SB and 1 HR. No, he played both games yesterday, going 1/7 with a double and K.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Haha, the announcers just compared Tyler Colvin to Grady Sizemore. Colvin got a single and SB in the fifth. He's now 3 for 3 and a triple shy of the cycle. Daytona leads it 3-2 in the middle of the 5th.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mark Reed with an RBI single and Daytona takes a 3-2 lead in the top of the 5th.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sounds like Colvin hit a solo shot. He's got a double and a homer so far in the game. He did! Bah, Samardzija gives up a 2-out double in the fourth inning. Jeff works around it. 2-2 in the middle of the fourth. Samardzija: 4 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 1 HR
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Daytona ties it up at 2 in the bottom of the third.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Walker, C CF Salas SS Fox LF Kroeger RF Craig 1B Spearman, J 3B Cates 2B Richie C Veal P

    Peoria suffers their first loss of the season in game one, 4-0. Albuquerque and Pawelek's lines in my earlier post were their final lines. Julio Castillo pitched a shutout 7th inning for Peoria. Blake Lalli had Peoria's only hit in the game.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Actually, why are there *any* flights from Albuquerque to Omaha period?
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Moore will take BPA, if the Royals feel Wieters is the BPA, they'll take him. There's always the chance that Wieters can't stick at C in the pros. I'd take Price or Wieters without hesitation if either was available.

    Tennessee loses 5-2. Gallagher: 5 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 1 HBP Daytona and Vero Beach tied at 1 after 1 inning. Samardzija with some control problems: 1 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP. Peoria down 4-0 after 5. Alburquerque and Pawelek have struggled in their 2007 debuts. Alburquerque: 3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR Pawelek: 2 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 1 WP
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Is it wrong of me that I was more interested in reading about Cliff Andersen, Chris Huseby and Robert Hernandez? And Prior's only strikeout was Ryan Harvey? Amusing, to say the least...
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria @ Quad Cities (game one): Camp 2B Heredia CF Lansford 3B Canzler 1B Joseph DH Carter RF Lalli C Lewis LF Johnston SS Alburquerque P I have pretty high expectations for Josh Lansford. He needs to get it going, he has started the year 1/12 (though the 1 hit was a HR).
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    They go better when the minor league squads have Gallagher, Veal and Samardzija all pitching on the same day!
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    And if he goes to TB he won't have to face Pujols this year. World Series. So...Raisin's on record now for projecting a WS of Tampa vs St. Louis! Raisin also had Rafael Dolis in his top 30 list. :)

    Common. I voted for Nas, though.
