Aquasox Pics From 8/9/06
I can't get used to blogging only once a week, and the winter league stats comment section is getting a little crowded, so here are some pictures I took of Tony Butler pitching. Sorry about the one time I left the flash on, dude.
Better pictures from a better camera once I get the money.
More pictures from the same camera a few more times through the offseason. |

I appreciate that MLB.com has gone the extra mile and started posting their own weekly stat wraps for the winter leagues, after all, I wouldn't know if that was really Jon Nelson down there otherwise, but statements like "it hasn't taken long for Emiliano Fruto to blossom into a top prospect" kind of get to me. Fruto was in the minors for six years, most of them bouncing back forth between roles and posting numbers that were impressive mostly considering his age. Even then, he only got himself straightened out a couple years back, and some would argue how much of a top prospect a guy currently slotted as a reliever can be. Nit-picking again, I suppose.
The pitchers are improving all around by small degrees, with the exception of Bobby Livingston, who continues to get beaten up every time he takes the mound. The one outstanding performance this week from that group would have to go to Jorge Campillo, who pitched six innings and gave up just a solo home run and a walk while he struck out seven. That's not going to happen every time out, obviously, but if he continues to perform down there, he may get himself back into consideration for the fifth spot in the rotation.
For the hitters, it's mostly small improvements as well. Mini G is hitting far better than Wilson or Tui, but still can't get the regular playing time out there. Clement still struggles to find regular at-bats and logged ten this week. Lahair hasn't played in the last three games, near as I can figure, and I'm not sure why exactly. Both of Oliveros' hits this winter season have been grand slams, from the looks of it. Balentien continues to destroy the league's pitching.
In the files of "this was interesting, but I didn't want to devote a separate post to it", former blog favorite Ryan Ketchner was picked up by the Padres as a minor league free agent. After all, where else to old Mariners players go? Former Mariner outfield and Moyer trade centerpiece Darren Bragg is now the hitting coach for the Dayton Dragons. |
