* PROSPECT NEWS *

Joba Chamberlain had an absolutely fantastic start today. He struck out 9 and walked 2 in 8 innings, allowing just two hits. More on him below. Jose Tabata, Juan Miranda, Francisco Cervelli, and Kevin Russo all hit doubles today for Tampa. Tim Battle smacked a home run and struck out his other four times to the plate.

Trenton split a double header that saw Brett Smith give up 3 runs in 5 innings and reliever Mike Gardner make the other start. Gardner just turned 26, but is having a great season. He allowed just two walks and one hit in four scoreless innings. Kevin Whelan relieved him with 4 strikeouts in 2 scoreless innings, and Kroenke continued his scoreless streak with a one inning save.

Eric Duncan was 2 for 3 with a walk today for Scranton. He has just 2 strikeouts in his last 10 games. Chris Britton allowed a single in a scoreless inning, and Alberto Gonzalez hit two singles in four at bats. Gonzalez is starting to turn it around, hitting .294/.368/.411 in his last 10 games.

Mitch Hilligoss brought his hitting streak to 33 games. He

Keeping Hughes in A+ and AA longer than he needed to be there made sense to protect his arm, which didn't even have 100 career innings on it when he reached AA.

But these guys are more polished, older, and ready to move on.

I believe Joe D had a hitting streak in the minors over 60 games, he holds the record in both...so I guess that article was wrong.

I honestly think Chamberlain and Kennedy were AA ready when they were drafted... the organization is just taking it slowly with all of our prospects.

I definitely agree. I have no problem with going through the motions with these guys and putting them through each level. But when they prove they can't learn anymore or be challenged there and they have enough innings under the belt in their careers, move them on. Kennedy should've been promoted already, but definitely after his next start. With Joba I can see waiting a few more starts because he missed the first month or so of the season.

AAA
CP EDWAR RAMIREZ

2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 BB 3 K's
0.41 ERA, 0.82 WHIP


I finally saw him on MiLBtv.com first Edwar is skinny I mean feed this kid :o , and his change up is filthy probably better than Jeff Marquez's, he relieved for Clemens and shut the door. IMO BRONX BOUND BUT FEED HIM IN THE OFFSEASON :lol:

A
CP/MRP DAVID ROBERTSON

1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K's
0.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP

A
CF ACTION JACKSON (RUMORS OF CALL UP ?)

2 for 4, 2B, BB

A
OF/2B ANDRES PEREZ
Image
2 for 3, 2 RBI SB(4), BB

I need to add this....
Andres is also one of my favorite prospects since last season I said he would prove the doubters wrong I have been a fan of his game since way back I'm rooting for him especially for the OF position one day. For those who forgot who Andres Perez is here are the basics of his story first he is a NYC born kid won the NYC batting title in his junior year after hitting .643 and slugging .929 before attending Stony Brook his best sports moment was greatest moment in sports was hitting a homerun at Shea Stadium in the City Championship game , Andres Perez became the sixth player from the 2006 Stony Brook baseball team to sign a professional contract when the five-tool player from New York, N.Y. signed with the New York Yankees. In one year with the Seawolves, Perez was second on the team with a .327 batting average, blasted a team-best seven homeruns and drove in 29 runs.

Over the summer, Perez played for the Torrington Twisters of the New England Collegiate League. Perez was second in the NECL with a .355 batting average and hit eight doubles and six homeruns. For his outstanding summer, Perez was named as the number two prospect in the NECL by Baseball America.

he has the speed and range to also play CF and 2B and has a gun for an arm we might here future promotions for this kid he looks like he's catching on finally.
