Recap | Box |

Richard RF: 1-2, R, 2B, 3 RBI, 3 BB, .291 (Myrio could be a very good player. He shows power, and he has pretty good plate discipline. I'm excited by the numbers).
Walton DH: 1-4, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, .318
Dixon LF: 0-4, .214 (should Rashun spend another year in short season next year?)

AZL: I didn't mention this yesterday, but our Arizona A's were held hitless on Friday against the Arizona Slegna. Blah.

DSL A's lost to the Mariners.

Here are the lines from last night.

I was impressed with Cahill, especially later on in the game. Hopefully he can use this as a confidence booster. Key stat: 0 bases on balls. That's huge.

The Vernon Carter Bash is off today. Here is how the rest of our prospects fared:

Dixon LF: 4-5, 2 R, .210

Staily SP: ND, 4.1 IP, ER, BB, 5 K, 4.60 ERA
Smyth RP: S (6), 0,1 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, K, .0.00 ERA (This 35th Round Pick has yet to allow a run in his short pro career. He's pitched 25 innings our of the pen and has a 31:3 K:BB ratio. Not too shabby).

AZL: Lost 10-5. Josh Leyland went 1-2 with 2 runs and 2 walks. Affinito, the undrafted free agent from the east coast continued his hot hitting, raking in 2 hits. He's batting .339 on the year.

DSL watch: Our Dominic team won off the hot hitting of young (not sure if 20 is young for the DSL league) catcher Reynaldo Mateo. He's batting .398 in 33 grames with a nice 18:18 BB:K ratio. Someone to continue to monitor

Chris Carter continued his tear today and James Simmons showed flashes of brilliance. The A's are an exciting team to watch. It's a good day to be an A's fan!

I'm back from Vegas with 16 extra bucks in my pocket due to an excellent three runs in the bottom of the ninth. Thanks to Raj for keeping all of us informed on the minor leagues. I'm infatuated with his formatting, so hopefully we will keep it pretty similar. Here are the results from Tuesday.

Hopefully with this informal schedule, we should be able to bring you these updates on a more regular basis. There were some nice performances from our boys last night, let's see how they did.

Totally sorry about the delay in posting. I've been in the process of moving and blah blah blah...I've been following very closely the trade rumors and am really interested to see if any more moves are made by the A's in the next two days. I like that I'm hearing the A's might be keeping Wuertz. Let's see how the little guys did last night.
