Minor League Roundup: April 13

Indianapolis 2, Norfolk 1

The Tides dropped this one in the bottom of the ninth on a meltdown from closer Bob McCrory, following an outstanding start from Hayden Penn. Penn went seven innings, allowing just three hits and one run. McCrory took the ball in the eighth, and got through one and a third before allowing a single to Steve Pearce, beaning Craig Wilson, and eventually giving up the game-losing single to Kevin Thompson.

Catcher Omir Santos was 1-for -2 with a double and a walk, and Sebastien Boucher had two hits. Oscar Salazar, Chris Roberson and Eider Torres also got base knocks. Scott Moore started at shortstop and batted third, and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Bowie @ Akron, PPD/Rain

The Baysox start a three-game set in Erie tomorrow.

Wieters Watch! 0-for-2, but he walked three times.

The Keys offense exploded for 13 hits on the day, with Brandon Tripp leading the charge, going 3-for-5 with a couple of solo homers. Chris Amador also homered, and Daniel Figueroa had three hits. Chris Vinyard was 1-for-3 with two walks in a rare start at first base, as Brandon Snyder got the game off.

Jacob Renshaw improved to 2-0 on the season, going seven and two-thirds with six strikeouts. He allowed three earned on four hits.

Lakewood 7, Delmarva 4 (11 innings)

The BlueClaws dropped three in the top of the 11th and Delmarva was unable to answer.

Pinch-hitter/left fielder David Cash had an RBI walk and an RBI single in the game, and the keystone combo of Jonathan Tucker and Pedro Florimon, Jr., had two hits each, and Tyler Henson was 1-for-5 with two RBI.

Tony Butler pitched six innings, giving up two earned on five hits and a walk, striking out four. Cliff Flagello took the loss in the 11th, giving up the three Lakewood runs.

Has MacPhail

or any underling said anything about Wieter's timetable? It seems like he could make the majors by the end of the year, but then it seems a shame to start his service time yet.

A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.

no

And it'd be no shame for him to start his service time. If he's that good, he's that good. Why dick around with having him in the sticks?

Well,

I'm not saying it should be delayed for any great length of time, just that it'd be to the O's benefit not to burn a year of service time this year, given that Baltimore probably won't compete this season. I was suggesting "dicking around" like the Twinkies did with Morneau (for example).

I kind of agree

If they don't plan to USE him if they were to call him up in September, assuming he's earned that sort of thing, why not just wait until next spring? But if they wanted to bring him up and let him start if Ramon keeps stinking up the jernt, then I see no problem with it.

Just my opinion anyway

Kid's going to be a stud no matter when he makes it up.

well, should ramon get hurt...

does anyone doubt that he'd be better than any option on the 25 man roster or in the system?

by j.q. higgins on Apr 14, 2008 9:58 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

when Ramon gets hurt

And this is a when, really, Wieters immediately becomes the most qualified man to start for the Orioles. Which is sad. Quiroz, Heintz, Davis, Santos -- come on. But I doubt they'd rush him up for that if it happened next month.

by SC on Apr 14, 2008 1:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah...

catching is a funny business like that.

by j.q. higgins on Apr 14, 2008 2:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

it should also be noted...

in two starts, erbe's allowed 5 hits and 1bb against 13k!
