Bristol loses 13-5 in thirteen. Stires .1 IP, 5 BB, but no hits, so I suppose that's a plus. Jason's boy Woodson not so good either. Texeira has that ERA down to 0.47 with 1 H and 2 K in 2 IP. Gartrell 3-6. Jacob Jean screwed up in the thirteenth, allowing 8 runs, 6 earned, on 3 hits and four walks. Bristol pitchers walked 16, which generally doesn't work.

You know if Garza dominates it'll only enrage me further.

 

Step it up, Tracey.

Tizz, I'm actually surprised that you haven't mentioned Daniel Cortes being the next "Liriano" simply because for one, he just traded a talent like that for a reliever who is injury prone, also the fact that he is a 19 year old kid extremely raw with, from what I heard, good stuff, also being a latino doesn't hurt eigher. Maybe if you see his numbers looking better you will?

Honestly, I didn't even know Cortes existed before he was traded. I heard assessments of his "stuff" -- and obviously noticed his quality statistics from this season -- but can't say I was labeling him the next Liriano immediately upon his departure.

 

The extent of my minor league knowledge is Futuresox and occasional browsing of Baseball America, MiLB.com. I follow boxscores and individual progress of upper affiliates more than lower class ones.

 

For MacDougal's injury problems, if either Lumsden or Cortes develop into anything more than a reliever than we've already lost. You, or someone else, can suggest "If we win a world series with MacD it doesn't matter," but it does. The success of either is pivotal when you consider they're in our own division. Imagine battling Cortes and/or Lumsden both in the rotation for 6+ years. *shudder* For an inconsistent reliever, giving up Lumsden alone -- our top SP prospect -- definitely could be considered overpaying. Cortes merely is an add on. Which is another similarity to Liriano.
