Harrisburg has Bennett and Clemmy and Susana. Power rotation.

[IanRubbish]

Still walking too many guys, but I give him credit for keeping the ball in the park.

[imref]

Ugh: 3⅓ IP, 8H, 8R, 8ER, 1BB, 3K, 4HR

[Slateman]

Ugh: 3⅓ IP, 8H, 8R, 8ER, 1BB, 3K, 4HR

Only 1 walk.

To be honest, Im not surprised. Double A is where guys have an idea of what the strike zone is

Never get hopes up about a prospect before AA. I'll get intrigued in A+, but no true excitement until AA.

I'm not near closing book on Clemmey. He was young for Wilmington, he's super young for Harrisburg. I'll worry if he is getting shelled 10 months from now, but I'm still optimistic

[IanRubbish]

Another rough outing

1 K, 4 BBs, 1 HR, 5 ER, 84 pitches in 3 and 2/3rds

[welch]

Starts tonight for Harrisburg.

[imref]

Lit up again

[Smithian]

Clemmey is my cautionary tale for next time I want a "challenge him" promotion

[Slateman]

Eh, struggled early but settled in.

Honestly, I like sending guys to Double A as early as possible. Gives them an offseason to work on what they need to

[nobleisthyname]

Only just turned 20 so he's still pretty advanced level-wise.

[IanRubbish]

Only just turned 20 so he's still pretty advanced level-wise.

True, but probably years away from being able to consistently pitch clean 5 inning, 80 pitch games in MLB.  Maybe in the post-Hickey era this org will help bring along guys to get to that point, but nowhere near there yet.

Age: 20
Team rank: 5

Good start yesterday, walks are still there, but 3 in 6 IP isn't terrible:

6IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 6K, HR, HBP, WP, 83-49

[imref]

Very nice outing: 6.0 IP | 4 H | 1 R/ER | 2 BB | 2 K | 78-50

[welch]

So Clemmy and Bennett finished well at Harrisburg. I'm looking ahead with hope.
