Bradley Zimmer 2 HR (16) :)!

Finally getting to go see Zimmer play for the first time next week. Can't wait!

Bobby Bradley HR (21)

Shaping up to be another good day for Indians' prospects. :)

I'd love a promotion to Lynchburg for the last three weeks of the season. Really high strikeout rate, but not a huge concern yet since he's so young.

Justus Sheffield's line - 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 5 K

All things equal, Sheffield put together a pretty nice season for, once again, someone as young as he is. A great strikeout rate (114 Ks in 104 innings) and a solid walk rate (32 in 104 innings) make up for his higher ERA. But overall he's had a quality first full pro season.

Dansby Swanson makes his pro debut for Hillsboro.



Dansby batting 2nd tonight for Hops against the Canadians. I feel like his stay in Hillsboro will be short; he might get promoted to A/A+ at the end of the current Hops' homestand.

Hey OP - You seem to have your finger on the pulse of all things related to minor league baseball, so I was wondering if you could offer up an opinion on something. If you were having to choose between Kodi Medeiros and Jack Flaherty right now based on your expectations of future success, which one would you go with?

[Tarheelsfan2012]

Looks like Buxton is wanting to be back up in the bigs. 4 for 5 tonight.

Flaherty for me.

4 singles?

[mjwoop]

Flaherty for me.

Thank you for the response. I sweated over that choice last night in the draft for the '14 Bowman Draft 15 case break last night. You just made me feel better about my decision!

What JP said and it's not even close...I know Flaherty had a lat or abdominal strain early in the year but there is no explanation for why his prices are still so low, I feel like a kid in a candy store

[shortstopguy12]

Anything on Foley?!

You don't want to know :(

What happened to Foley.. Hopefully that's a one time thing.

I'm seeing 3 for 5 everywhere I look...

His 4th hit was overturned and ruled an error after the game concluded.

Oh ok, got it. Thank you

[WalterAZ31]

Touki continues to be horrific ever since the trade

aside from one start where he had 6 no hit innings of work, its been a nightmare

his era and walk rate have almost doubled
