    A - Yes, but he's not as big league ready.

Dillon Gee:

            “Right now I feel good.My arm feels good. All the symptoms are gone. So that’s a positive. It’s been a long week for me. This thing kind of came out of the blue and hit me really fast. To be honest with you, it was very scary at first, kind of tough to go through."

Behind 6.1 strong innings from former Major League pitcher Juan Padilla, Puerto Rico handed the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team its first loss in Honkbal Week, 3-2, on Tuesday afternoon at Pim Mulier Stadium. A former relief pitcher with the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets, Padilla allowed two runs on six hits while striking out three to earn the win.  http://web.usabaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120717&content_id=35077294&vkey=news_usab&gid=  

AAA – Buffalo:

RHP Jeremy Hefner takes the mound tonight for his ninth start of the season. This will be his first start at Coca-Cola Field since May 15 against Gwinnett. In five starts at home, the righty is 2-2 with 2.84ERA in 31.2 innings of work. Hefner has gone at least seven innings in five of his eight starts this season. 

AA-Binghamton:  

Tonight –  L, 4-5

You know how much I’m hoping 2B Reese Havens can finish the season strong and end up at last at a .240-BA.  Two more hits tonight  and BA up to .222.

LHRP Robert Carson (4.78) gave up the winning run. 

A+ - St. Lucie: -  

Tonight – loss, 5-6

PC Phil Regan was thrown out after arguing restrictive zone during relief outings by Jack Leathersich and Jeffrey Walters.

DH Mike Baxter continued his rehab going 1-4, double, 2-RBI, .375. Look for at least one more in Lucy before a transfer to Buffalo. 

A – Savannah: -

Today – Win, 10-2 laugher

LF Greg Pron (.244… .385 last 10-games) – 3-5, 2-R, 2-doubles

2B Yucarybert De La Cruz – 3-5, 1-R, 4-R

QS by SP Jacob deGrom – 5th quality start in-a-row… 8-Ks in 7.2-IP 

A-Low – Brooklyn:

Kevin Goldstein

            Scouts don’t know what to make of him (Brandon Nimmo), other than really liking him. For such a raw player, he consistently puts together quality at-bats, but for every scout that thinks he’s going to turn into a power hitter, you can find one who thinks he’s going to be more of a high-average gap-to-gap type. The good news is nobody seems to think he’s going to be bad, and we have plenty of time to figure out what kind of good player he has the potential to be.

Tonight – L, 1-4

Tense moments when CF Brandon Nimmo was involved in an outfield collision, but everything turned out fine. (1-4, .250) 

Rookie – Kingsport:

Tonight –

CF Courtney Hawkins  single, double, triple…   

DSL Mets:

CL Carlos Coronado (1.80) – 8th save

LF Vincente Lupo – 2-2, 3-R, 1-HR, 2-RBI, .365
