Winter Leagues: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly


Good

OF Shin-Soo Choo, 13 games, 45 at-bats, 12 runs, 2 home runs, 10 walks, .311/.446/.467
3B Greg Dobbs, 13 games, 49 at-bats, 12 runs, 2 doubles, 4 walks, .306/.358/.449
RHP Emiliano Fruto, 2.70 ERA, 3.1 IP, 3 hits, 1 run
RHP Rick Guttormson, 0.00 ERA, 5.1 IP, 3 hits, 8 strikeouts
LHP Cesar Jimenez, 0.82 ERA, 11.0 IP, 6 hits, 1 earned run
SS Michael Morse, 12 games, 45 at-bats, .333/.375/.400
RHP Tony Runion, 2.35 ERA, 7.2 IP, 2 earned runs, 12 strikeouts
SS Luis Ugueto, 11 games, 47 at-bats, 10 runs, 3 triples, 7 RBI, .340/.367/.553

Bad

RHP Edgar Guaramato, 4.15 ERA, 4.1 IP, 8 hits, 3 walks
IF Jesus Guzman, 3 games, 4 at-bats, 3 runs, 2 strikeouts, .000/.000/.000
RHP Jon Huber, 5.68 ERA, 12.2 IP, 17 hits, 7 walks, 16 strikeouts
C Luis Oliveros, 8 games, 28 at-bats, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, .214/.241/.464
LHP Jared Thomas, 7.71 ERA, 14.0 IP, 19 hits, 8 walks

Ugly

RHP Renee Cortez, 9.00 ERA, 3.0 IP, 4 hits, 2 home runs, 3 earned runs
RHP Brett Evert, 12.00 ERA, 9.0 IP, 12 hits, 2 losses
SS Juan Gonzalez, 8 games, 27 at-bats, 7 strikeouts, .148/.233/.259

Naturally, there are a few players not quite on this list yet. For want of a better sample size, LHP Jose Escalona, 3B Justin Leone, RHP Gustavo Martinez, SS Ramon Santiago, and LHP Matt Thornton did not make the cut, though most of them would have been defaulted to good anyway.

There weren't a lot of movements this week, but a few debuts. Guttormson's sick strikeout rate is making him look like another indie league gem. Fruto is back in the VWL hoping to improve on an unimpressive 2004 campaign. Huber got knocked around in a start, then pitched okay, and is now down to bad. Thomas got caught in the relief pitcher trap and gave up seven runs in two-thirds of an inning. Oliveros debuts with some power, but a low-average. Gonzo is looking terrible in the VWL so far, and Cortez gets knocked down despite not pitching for a week. The good news is that Brett Evert is making some progress, including a five inning, one run, three strikeout stint last night that got him a win.

The Winter League Recaps, week 3, are now up at InsideThePark. Not exactly a banner week for the guys down in the AFL, but there are some others who are tearing it up in the VWL, and not necessarily the guys that you would expect. Uggy Mojo lives on.
