Nice game. Hopefully he's changed since I last saw him.

I thought Carr was drafted as an outfielder or something, I don't think he's been pitching his whole professional career so I'll cut him some slack.

But I never new how to evalute BB for pitchers and hitter, I knew they were good for hitters and bad for pitchers obviously but not what good and bad ratios where. And Carr walks someone pretty much every other inning same with Zinicola. To me Carr is just rated a average prospect for his velocity. Zinicola is playing a level higher than Carr and is a year younger and his numbers are a bit better. He will hopeful play to potential and become a reliable bull-pen guy. Our best bet is some of our prospect starters becoming relievers which will happen then we will have a good pen.

PJ Dean started for Vermont last night, he went 4.0 innings letting up 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, and struck out 4. He has only let up 2 ER in 7 starts this season, a 0.77 WHIP and 20:10 SO:BB ratio. He has yet to let up a HR or more than 1 ER in a game yet this season.

A draft pick from this year, Paul Demny, won the game for the GCL Nationals [5.0 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 4 SO, 0 ER]. He is now 3-0, has a 1.87 ERA and has also not let up a HR this season. Demny is only 19 years old and has got a great start to his pro career with us.

When is Zimmermann gonna start? He hasn't started in 5 or 6 days.

Alaniz pitches tomorrow and then Zimm and Justin Jones pitch the 2 games of the Double-Header on Thursday.

Atilano was pitching a great game until they started to get on him.

Chris Curran has been impressive in the GCL. Anyone have any scouting reports on him? He seems like a Mike Daniel or Roger Bernadina clone to me.

This is sort of a scouting report. It also has a Q&A.

Thanks.

Bernadina keeps hitting. He tripled and homered tonight off of Radhames Liz.

His numbers in AAA: 28/86 (.326 AVG/.408 OBP/.535 SLG), 5 Doubles, 2 Triples, 3 HRs, 12 RBIs, 15 Runs, 11 BBs, 18 Ks, 9 SBs, 1 CS.

btw, Leonard Davis hit his first homer for Columbus tonight. About time.

Once again, does anybody have a scouting report on Norris?

Drafted for his bat. Projects extra base power. Played primarily 3B in HS but scouts believe he has the arm/agility to be a catcher. He just needs time at catcher.

I've seen him play. He's got nice speed and he's a professional hitter.

How 'bout Mike O'Connor guys? Complete game shutout, 7 hits, 1 BB, 4 K's.

We were discussing that on another thread, towards the bottom.

it seems like columbus has been losing a lot of games recently thanks to the promotions. not like the w-l matters as much as developing, just wanted to throw it out there. Sounds like T-Clip had a rough outing. The bats waking up a bit though.

This may be why Zimmermann was pulled early today. There is one promotion coming up shortly and they want to be prepared. Clippard may be squandering the shot.

We don't really have a spot open in the rotation, though. Maybe Redding or Perez will get traded.

Edit: You might have meant a promotion to Columbus. I forgot he's in Double-A right now.
