I played my father in fantasy baseball this last week and I was leading 14-3 going into the last day. I checked this morning and be beat me 10-9-1. Add that to the A's loss, and I need to talk about our Minor Leagues.

Sacramento:

Recap | Box |

Ellis 2B: 1-4, RBI

Buck DH: 1-4, K  What roster move do the A's make when he returns from his stint with Rivercats--Barton?

Everidge 1B: 2-4, R, HR, 2 RBI, K  .347 Positioning himself nicely for a late season call-up. If nothing else, he should see himself get a shot with some AL team in the next few years. Combined with Midland, he now has 31 Extra base hits.

Simmons: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 K   No BBs in this start, back to back nice outings.

Midland:

Recap | Box |

Horton SS: 2-4, R, BB

Cardenas 3B: 0-4, R, BB

Carter 1B: 0-3, R, BB, K

Spencer LF: 2-4, R

Donaldson C: 1-4, 2B, 2 RBI

Padron, R DH: 2-4, R, 2 2B  Not sure what to make of this guy. It seems like he's been a roster filler whenever the A's need an emergancy catcher or left-handed bat...not sure. This year he's been with Stockton, Midland and Sac. Last year he was with Stockton and Sac. That's a lot of movement.

Fernandez: 5.1 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, BB, 2 K

Benacka went 1.2, with 3 K, and Demel had another scoreless inning of relief. Now has a 0.64 ERA on the season. Keep it up...or down I mean. 

Stockton: Final game of 1st half.

Recap | Box |

Keough LF: 4-4

Poirier: 4.1 IP, 3 H, ER, 4 BB, 5 K  Needs to cut down on the BBs. He now as a K:BB of 28:24

Hopefully with the next three days off for Stockton, Weeks will be returning to action.

Kane County: Cougars take the first-half league title!! Title

Recap | Box |

Christian 3B: 2-3, R, 2B, HR, RBI, BB Pretty active game. Batting .368 over his last 10 games, and .300 on the month. I'll admit, I know it was just one month, but I was worried about his May performance, this rebound is nice to see

Coleman SS: 0-2, R, 2 BB, 2 K, SB (16)

Desme CF: 0-3, R, BB, 3 K, SB (24)

Hernandez LF: 1-3, R, HR, 4 RBI  Big hit of the game.

Haviland (W, 5-3): 6 IP, 3 H, BB, 5 K  Was shaky in his previous 3-4 starts. Nice to see this effort out of him.

Vancouver: First win..

Recap | Box |

House CF: 1-3, BB, K

Crumbliss RF: 1-3, 2 R, 3B, BB, SB (2)

Dixon LF: 2-4, RBI, K, SB Two multi-hit games to start the season.

Leyja 2B: 0-3, BB  I'm really interested to follow his contact rate this season as well. Last season he showed a strong plate-discipline with a 31:19 K:BB.

Penalba (W, 1-0): 5 IP, 4 H, 7 K   This is his first stint in Vancouver. Last season spent time with the DSL and AZL A's.

Have an awesome Monday people.
