Stock: Juan Urbina, Marcos Camerena, Jack Leathersich, Craig Missingman, Luis Mateo

8-18-11: - Stock Up – SP Juan Urbina – Look, the kid has had a rough season this year, but he put it all together last night, going: 6.0-IP, 0-R, 5-H, 3-K, 2-BB. Had nine fly balls in the 18 outs. Urbina needed this one and, hopefully, he’ll string out a couple of good ones before the season ends. You will see this kin pitch winter ball. 8-19-11: - Stock Up – SP Luis Mateo – Mateo continues to dominate the DSL league. The 6-3 right pitched five more scoreless innings, striking out eight. He’s now: 6-1, 2.00, 13-starts, 63.0-IP, 80-K, 5-BB.

8-18-11:- Stock Up: - SP Marcos Camerena – Almost prospect “Marco” continues to impress, striking out eight in 4.2-IP last night. Yearly stats are now: 2-3, 3.27, 11-starts, 52.1-IP, 41-K, 12-BB, .305-BABIP, 3.74-FIP, 5.4%-BB/PA. Looks like a Sand Gnat shoe-in in 2012.

8-18-11: - Stock Up – RP Jack Leathersich – Leather pitched 1.2 last night and only had four strikeouts. Poor baby. Seriously, that’s seven relief outings so far this season, for 8.2 innings, and he has 20 strikeouts. Let’s see… 8.2-IP is… 26 outs, 20 of which are whiff. That’s a 58.8-K/PA and a BABIP of .455. Really.

8-18-11: - Stock Up – P Craig Missingman – This smart kid signed early after being drafted in the 37th round and reported to the GCL team. So far, (turned 18 this month), he’s pitched 8-G, three of which he has started, and has posted a 3.86 ERA in 21.0-IP (17-K). These are the kind of high school kids this team never drafted and all you want them to do this season is get their feet wet. Well, Craig is doing more than that.
