Down in the Minors: The 12th of July

Let's take a brief look at what was going on down in the minor leagues...

AAA Scranton

Kevin Russo: 1-3 .308
Ramiro Pena: 2-5 2B K .308
They demoted to the minors partly because they wanted him to learn how to play the outfield, so he could be a Joe McEwing-type of supersub. He started in centerfield in this game. He didn't make an error and Chad Jennings says that he made a nice running catch. Counting the days until they have him replace Cody Ransom...
Austin Jackson, Eric Duncan, Shelley Duncan, Yurendell de Caster, Colin Curtis, P.J. Pilittere: all hitless but Shelley walked thrice and Pilittere, Jackson, and de Caster once
Doug Bernier: 2-4 2B .176
Sergio Mitre: See previous post...
Edwar Ramirez: 1IP 3H 2R Has been really poor all year in Majors and minors.

AA Trenton

Austin Krum: 3-5 2B 3B .206
Reegie Corona: 2-3 2B .293
Eduardo Nunez: 1-4 BB .307
Jorge Vazquez: 1-5 HR(13) .333
Chris Malec: 1-4 .291
Edwar Gonzalez: 2-4 2-2B .219
Kyle Anson: 1-4 .240
Marcos Vechionacci: 0-3 .202
Kanekoa Texeira: 5IP 4H 0ER 0BB 7K 2.92
He has been starting lately to get work with pretty good results. I wonder if they are going to make it a permanant thing.
Jason Schmidt, Eric Wordekemper, Grant Duff, Jose Valdez: scoreless innings each

High-A Tampa

Dan Brewer: 2-5 HR(1) .275
Austin Romine: 2-5 2B .293
Brandon Laird: 4-4 2B HR(7) .264
Hitting .417 over the last 10 games; the breakout has begun. Now watch him explode.
Damon Sublett, Kevin Smith, David Adams: hitless, Sublett and Adams walked twice
Hector Noesi: 5IP 5H 3R 1BB 8K 5.40
