Gwinnett 2, Charlotte 9
Scott Diamond found the hitter friendly confines in Charlotte didn't agree with him, as he had his worst AAA start since his first one. Matt Young reached base 3 times and stole his 39th bag of the year. One more steal and he'll have his second straight year with 40 or more steals. Clint Sammons had a 2 hit game, but more impressively he made his first error of the whole season. Dan Nelson continues to destroy AAA pitching.
Mississippi 10, Birmingham 5
After an 11 day hiatus, Julio Teheran returned to the mound, capping off his season with a solid start. For the year he had a 2.55 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 6.7 H/9, 3.9 K/BB, 10.1 K/9, and 2.6 BB/9 in 137.2 innings between Rome, Myrtle Beach, and Mississippi. LV Ware has been hot in AA, with a .389 average and 1.000 OPS in 5 games. Christian Colonel was a nice pick up out of Indy ball, hitting .346 with a 1.077 OPS in 9 games since joining the organization.
Myrtle Beach 3, Lynchburg 4
Gerry Rodriguez has averaged a homer every 24 at bats, which is much less than the one every 19 at bats he averaged last year with the Pelicans. He's also had a lower average, on base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS than last year, and is striking out in 35% of his at bats this year compared to 32% last year. Paul Clemens had a so-so start, allowing a few too many hits. But, on the positive side, he didn't walk anyone.
Rome 0, Lexington 6
Joey Terdoslavich has now made 5 errors in 16 games at third base for Rome, after making 5 in 18 games at third for Danville. He's made an additional 11 errors in 33 games at first base, so with a combined 29 errors in 65 games in the field (he's been the DH 3 times) you have to wonder if he's going to hit enough in the future to make up for his lack of defensive ability. Apparently Arodys Vizcaino left the game in the second with an injury to his arm, so hopefully this is just a minor aggrevation of his previous injury and not a new, more catastrophic one. Ryan Weber gave up a few too many hits, and had some poor defense played behind him, but he managed to get out of things without giving up too many runs.

Ugh
that really sucks about Vizzy.

Beachy
Following story…Beachy might get called up to take Lowe’s place in rotation Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Cox is done with KK.
Read the Braves website for more details.

He really ripped into KK last night. I’ve never seen Bobby do that with reporters before.

Trust me, they’ve been tired of the KK saga all year. Things in Atlanta aren’t peachy, but they’re about to be “Beachy” if Lowe can’t go.

J. Terdoslavich
Sounds like he is pretty brutal at the corner infield positions. Still, he is early yet in his career. It isn’t out of the realm of possibility that his defense becomes serviceable in the Majors.
Personally, I’m still looking forward to the day that we see him performing for us at third base in the not so distant future. God knows he doesn’t have a future at first, what with the advent of Freddie Freeman. Maybe left field, though?
What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game.... There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability. ~George Bernard Shaw
I’m not sure he has a future at third with the presence of Joe Leonard. When they played together at Danville he mostly played first.
I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it:

Salcedo has had a load of errors as well...
I wonder if he starts next year at SS or if they go ahead and move him to 3B or the OF.
Also on Vizcaino, did you hear he might be hurt, or just going off him being pulled one out into the 2nd? He may have just reached his pitch limit early, cause the Rome paper doesn’t seem to indicate injury.

The writeup from Lexington had him leaving with an apparent arm injury.
No, Salcedo isn’t moving off shortstop anytime soon. The Braves couldn’t be more pleased with the way he’s playing. Johnny Almaraz had nothing but positive things to say about his defense. He’ll be back at Rome playing SS to start next year.

Ah, I see.
So does he have a future in the outfield at all? I didn’t know that Leonard was a superior prospect at third. With Freeman presumably locked in at first, does that make Terdoslavich trade bait?

I’d say at the moment they think a little more of Leonard. He was only with Danville for 10 games, but he played all of them at third base. (Barrett Kleinknecht spent most of his time at third while Terdoslavich was at first a lot.) They moved Leonard up quick while Terdoslavich was with Danville a lot longer. Leonard got hurt (broken hand, I think) and ended up playing half as many games, but he’s got a better chance to be a slugger at the hot corner.
I think looking at either one as trade bait at this point is very premature. They’re both 22 year olds who need to develop as hitters and fielders (Leonard had 7 errors in 22 games at third) and work on becoming Major Leaguers. I’d guess that Terdoslavich will end up playing mostly at first base, even though it looks like he’ll end the year with 1 or 2 more games played at third.
