Atlanta Braves Winter League Recaps: 10/23

Looks like Freeman bounced back a little bit.

Mesa 10, Peoria 11

B. Hicks 2-4 BB, SB(2)
F. Freeman 2-5 2B, 2 RBI, K
L. Hyde 0.2IP 1H 3R 2BB 1K

Brandon Hicks is hitting .318 in the desert so far with pretty good plate discipline so far and without striking out as much as he did in the regular season. Yes it is Arizona, but he probably could use some confidence building. I am glad to see Freeman hit with some authority as well, though I'm not sold that his wrist is back to 100% yet. And Lee Hyde finally got tagged up after he walked a couple of guys and then gave up a 3-run homer. Still no Heyward.

Navojoa 4, Mexicali 6 - 6th Inning

M. Young 0-3 BB, K
C. Rodriguez 1-3 RBI

Nothing much going on yet in this game. Rodriguez did go 4-4 last night with 2 2Bs and Brett Butts picked up his 3rd save for Navojoa. Young also went 0-2 with 2 BBs. Edgar Osuna also made a shot appearance but gave up 2 hits and a walk and didn't record an out before leaving the game.

Update on The Jay Hey Kid

Buddy of mine who lives in the Phoneix area went to the Saguaros game today. He said he saw Jason doing some light running and was running some balls down in the OF before the game, but didn’t look 100% and was taking it easy on himself. He asked one of the assistant trainers what happened and he said that Jason tweaked something in his upper leg while chasing a flyball down. He stayed in the game another inning or two, but then came out as a precaution. He also said the trainer thought Jason would be back sooner rather than later, but wasn’t completely sure.

Hopefully he’s back in action by next week. I wanna go check out another AFL game, but I’m gonna be really pissed if I make the drive just to see all the Braves guys are sitting out that day.
