Minor League Recaps: 5/30

Richmond 6, Charlotte 4 (final 10inn.)

J. Perry - 2-4 2B, HR(1), 2 RBI, SB, BB, K
C. Sammons - 2-4 2B

Jason Perry got the promotion to AAA and he just picked up right where he left off with the M-Braves. The guy appears to have a legitimate bat but the Braves have a crowded OF situation and he isn't on the 40 man roster so I don't see how he gets on the team at any point this season.

West Tenn 5, Mississippi 3

J. Holt - 2-5 SB
G. Creek - 1-3

Nothing much to say about this game. Jason Perry is gone and Reid Gorecki is on the DL still so the offense might suffer when it has to rely on Kala Kaaihue. Jordan Schafer comes off his suspension tomorrow and he will probably spend a few days working out with the team before he returns to action. I would look for him to come in during the series against Mobile.

Frederick 1, Myrtle Beach 7

G. Hernandez - 1-5 2B, RBI, K
W. Cabrera - 3-5 2B
T. Jones - 1-5 HR(8), 3 RBI, 2 K
T. Flowers - 4-4 HR(5), 2 RBI

The only reason I list Hernandez up there is that he has 27 hits this season and 14 of them have gone for extra bases. That is very nice. Will we look back in a month and say this is the game that Tyler Flowers broke out on? I dunno, but it is uplifting to see him hitting at home and hitting for power at home where he has struggled mightily. I think one thing is certain: he saw his name on the not hot list for Baseball America today. Scott Diamond allowed 1 run in 7 innings in his second start at The Beach.

Asheville 6, Rome 3

C. MIles - 3-4 SB
J. Heyward - 1-3 BB
C. Ludahl - 2-4 2B

Well Cole Rohrbough got hammered in his start, giving up 6 runs over 3 innings to seal the deal before they even got started. I honestly think that is the worst game of his short career. I mean the dude only gave up 8 earned runs in 61 innings last year and he gave up 5 tonight? Amazing!

Questions...

1. Where in the world is Steve Evarts? His DL stint is the longest 7 days I’ve seen in my life!

2. Okay, so Josh Anderson moves up to Atlanta, Perry moves up to AAA – I’m wondering if the trickle down effect will find Jason Heyward anytime soon. Yohan Silva got sent back down when Hernandez was activated at Myrtle Beach, and Rome sent down David Berres and Steve Shults to make room for Silva. I thought something may happen then with Heyward then because Rome had 5 outfielders on the roster (not counting Shults, who plays infield and outfield), but it didn’t.
I remember the year Ka’aihue was in Rome he was promoted at the all star break, which is about 2 and a half weeks away now for Rome. I’m sure the draft will also shake up a roster or two. I’m guessing Heyward will be gone by mid June.
So this one wasn’t really a question – just an out loud musing!

Well the draft is this week so don’t be surprised if the draft gets Heyward bumped up a level.

Heyward and Gorkys in the same OF in a couple of weeks makes me giddy

Guess I shoulda put up that post about carpooling! Still sitting here debating the 152 mile round trip at $4/gal., and wondering if I can get any night pics…
Take some more of those great shots if you can!
