Jarrett Parker(RF)- 1 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .255.
Devin Harris(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .268.

Tomlinson has always been a field first guy, but since hitting .203 in April, he's hit .278 since which is impressive for the EL.

Blake Miller(2B)- 1 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .308.
Joe Biagini(RHP)- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.90.

Hernandez and Brooks were the two HS pitchers drafted in 2013.  Hernandez is having success despite a bad K/BB in a SSS.  Brooks is still trying to get his feet under him.

  1. The strikeouts are still pretty concerning (and might always be) for Mr. Gary Brown, but the organization asked him to improve his hitting against RHP, and he has. Up to. 278 this year, with all 7 of his HR. Not out of this world #'s, but an improvement. I truly think he would make the decision a much easier one on the front office if he were stealing bases and a better clip. But, like you say DrB, it's probably now or never for the kid. He could very easily end up in another organization who gives him a chance to produce at the MLB level... it might as well be the team that drafted him that gives him his first taste.

  2. Is it possible Brown turns a corner this year? If only his steal/CS rate weren't so horrific.

    Also, nice to see Duvall pick up where he left off in Fresno.

    And what about Duffy? Could this guy be competing with Crawford in a year or two?

    Lucky

  3. What the fuck are you talking about turd snacker? Brown is a zero wash out. Duvall, given a chance will rake and hit HR's. Free Matt Duffy!
