Tom Brennan - INTERESTING MINOR LEAGUE HIGHLIGHTS ON APRIL 25


NO HITS! SHADES OF CHRIS DAVIS!

First of all, the agony - Binghamton was NO HIT!  STINKS!
  
Pause, and let that HIT you for a minute.  OK, let's proceed. 
The Bingo pitchers allowed only 2 runs, and fanned 13, but yesterday's game was no hit with Binghamton fans.

Elsewhere, Syracuse rallied for an 8-7 win.  Yesterday's topic of conversation on this site, Adeiny Hechavarria, went 4 for 5 with 3 RBIs and is hitting .348.   Rajai Davis (.240) had 2 hits and a walk, and seems to be heating up.  The weather was great - which the hitters must love.

In another high scoring nail biter, St Lucie won 10-9.
Blake Tiberi had 3 hits and 3 runs, Carlos Cortes had a single, triple and homer, and delightfully, former 3rd round pick Quinn Brodey is HITTING this season, with 4 hits and is hitting .355 through 20 games after hitting just .224 last year.

Finally, Columbia lost 5-3, but although Wunderkind Simeon Woods Richardson allowed 3 unearned runs in 3 IP, he amazingly fanned 7.  
In 14.2 innings, in point of fact, he has fanned 22 and walked no one.  K to walk ratio?  Infinity, folks - and he is just 18.

Another big, young hard thrower, RHP Bryce Hutchinson, started the season with 2 rough outings, but in his last 8.2 IP, (1-0, 3.21 ERA): 3 IP, H, 2 R (ER), BB, 5 Ks, 1 earned run and 4 hits.  Clearly another dude to watch closely.

Offensively, Ronny Mauricio had 2 knocks and is hitting .324.  

Go, Ronny, go Ronny, go Ronny, go!


That's my take, folks.

Tom -

The Ryley Gilliam promotion yesterday could be the beginning of promotions within the affiliates.

Yeah, I know it is early, but nothing has moved faster than Ry, who pitched Brooklyn last year and now, in April, is in AA ball.

Other possible promotions to consider soon:

Bing to Cuse - RPs Joseph Zanghi and Stephen Villines, CF Braxton Lee, SP Anthony Kay

Lucy to Bing - 2B Blake Tiberi, OF Quinn Brodey, RP Briam Campusano, SP Tony Dibell

Col to Lucy - SS Ronny Mauricio, RP Andrew Mitchell
