With the minor league season almost finished I thought it would be useful to pull together the scouting reports and interviews I published this summer. Over the minor league season I was in Fort Myers to see the Dunedin Jays, in Lansing twice to see the Lugnuts, in Erie and Binghamton ......
As quickly as it began, it was over. With Dunedin eliminated last night, Lansing followed suit tonight asthe young hitters were never able to muster up much of an offensive.
Dayton 7 Lansing 3 (Loses playoff series 0-2)
No wins on Wednesday. Dunedin's season ends as they lose 2-0 in the playoffs. Lansing lost game one and must win tonight. Auburn completed the trifecta.
The Jays bullpen tried to give this one away, but the Twins defence wouldn't hear of it.
Now that was a fun game. For the first six Innings AJ was pretty well cruising. He was spotted a couple of runs by Inglett and Snider in the third, and although the Twins offense was looking a b......
I spoke with Dane Johnson, the Jays minor league roving pitching co-ordinator, last week in Lansing. We talked about several of the Jays pitching prospects and talked about more bad news for Gustavo Chacin.
Once again my voice recorder was not working so I have had to rely on my notes fo......
Less than a month to go. What can we look forward to in the next (30 - 2) days?
Well, what I'm most excited about, as I'm sure many Bauxites are, is following the progress of Travis Snider. Yeah, I don't think he's ready for the big leagues, and I don't want him to be on the opening day roster ne......
I spoke with the Lansing Lugnuts manager, Clayton McCullough, last week in Lansing. McCullough talked about his young players and highlighted what has impressed him this season.
Note that my voice recorder was not working on this trip, and my shorthand is non-existent, so I am rep......
Dunedin is behind the 8-ball in their best-of-three playoff series against Fort Myers and Auburn gives their fans a nice parting gift in their home finale.
The Jays added six players to their roster today. Brad Wilkerson and Kevin Mench; Shaun Marcum, Scott Richmond and Brian Wolfe; and Curtis Thigpen. David Purcey takes on the Twins tonight, facing Glen Perkins, he of the sub-4 ERA.
I don't see Wilkerson or Mench getting much playing......
After posting a Q & A feature about major and minor league affilations on their official website last week, the Syracuse Chiefs are about to end their......
I attended two Lansing Lugnut games last week, both Lansing losses. The scouting report is below as well as some player comments. Tomorrow I will have an interview with Lugnut manager Clayton McCullough and on Thursday look for an interview with the Jays minor league roving pitching i......
Sunday marked the end of the regular season for some while others have to work on Monday as well. In any event, it was all pretty boring stuff. But Ricky Romero continued his rejuvenation.
Well, if you're just playing out the string, might as well make sure that the Yankees are just playing out the string as well. Gives one's life a little bit of purpose...
Anyway, I think I'll share some random predictions regarding the ......
