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:
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Salt Lake |
0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 9 | 1 | |
| Sacramento |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 1 |
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:
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| San Antonio |
1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 16 | 2 | |
| Midland |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 9 | 1 |
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.
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| San Jose |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | |
| Stockton |
0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 3 |
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
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Wisconsin |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | |
| Kane County |
0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | X | 6 | 7 | 1 |
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..
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Everett |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 7 | 3 | |
| Vancouver |
1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | X | 3 | 6 | 0 |
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.

1. It’s 2 games.
2. His contact rate is bad in those 2 games.
With stout hearts, and with enthusiasm for the contest, let us go forward to victory. ----Hero Defector Montgomery

He's had 4 hits, 1 contact out, 3 strikeouts
In 8 at bats….I’m not too familiar with contact rates and what’s good or not, but I’d venture that 5/8 is pretty solid.
More importantly, of course, is #1.
Outman, fighter of the Hitman, champion of the K, he's a master of scoreless innings and friendship for everyone.

I read a post by someone who say him play
who said that the two strike outs in the first game he played were rather questionable calls.
I think before people start questioning Dixons contact rate we need to all look ourselves in the mirror and say to ourselves, “SMALL SAMPLE SIZE!”
Sometimes life will strike you out on a curve ball and the only choice you have is to flip off the umpire and walk to first base anyway.

Or "WIDE STRIKE ZONE SIZE!!!!"
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

I still have faith in Simmons.
i still think he makes a good 4th Starter. Blanton like.
"Their Triple-A rotation, led by Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, could be better than some big-league rotations; Michael Ynoa is the best Latin American prospect of the decade; 2008 draftees Jemile Weeks and Rashun Dixon bring much-needed tools to an advanced group of hitters." - BaseballProspectus.com

2007 Joe Blanton that is.

My favorite prospect.

minors news
They have sent SS/2b mike affronti from AA to the AZL to learn catcher
on the AZL roster has recently signed picks 9th richard/5th parker/11th spina/45th shaw
A’s have added lefty daniel haigwood from independent leagues to AA midland. Haigwood was a solid prospect who went with gio/rowand to philly in the thome deal several yrs ago. in 06 sickles top 3 philly prospects were hamels/gio/haigwood, outman was 17th. he was last with the red sox and pirates this spring and then released
A’s have signed UDFA catcher from seton hall
http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20090619/SPORTS0101/906190371/1095/RSS05
Marc Sauer, the Northeast scout who signed Affinito, said Athletics Director of Scouting Eric Kubota reached out to all Oakland area scouts earlier this week to let them know the organization needed another catcher.
3rd rd pick justin marks is looking for more $$
“I’d like to get a little more money,” said Marks, a record-setting pitcher who fashioned a 29-7 collegiate record for the Cardinals. “I don’t want to look back years from now and have any regrets about these decisions.”
Marks, a Baseball America third-team All-American who formerly starred at Owensboro Catholic High School, said the downturn in the nation’s economy has had an effect on signing bonuses.
“Prices are down, some people are saying, maybe 10 percent,” said Marks, a 6-3, 195-pounder who just completed his junior season at U of L. “But, I am very hopeful we can hammer this thing out. Two or three weeks from now I hope to be playing ball somewhere for the A’s.” "

Congrats Kane County!
At least some A’s are winning something.
They are the 2012 A’s or those that may be used to sweeten trades.

Let's hope..
that the 2012 A’s don’t include anyone from Stockton (except Jemile Weeks).
Rivercats 45-25
Midland 36-32
Stockton 25-45
Kane County 41-29
Overall: 147-131

yeah, we dont want Ross or Hunter to pan out
Don't believe in yourself.

Hunter's in KC
But frankly, I’d be surprised if Hunter or Ross work out. They seem like Italiano-type projects who have the velocity but not much else. Plus, they’re college picks so they don’t have the time Italiano has (had).

Well
I would love for EVERYONE to “pan out”. Personally, I don’t think Ross will pan out. Too many issues. The Stockton team is probably a little nervous right about now (1st Half Over for Kane County). I bet there are a couple guys who will be shipped to Kane County, Vancouver, or worse, home to Mom & Dad.
