Good job, and welcome to the crew, nycredsfan!

For those that may not have heard yet, Yonder Alonso has been called up to Louisville to help the team during the playoffs. Now nearly all of our upper level prospects are in Triple-A. Next spring could be interesting.

She said, "You don't even buy me presents." Yeah I did. I bought you a box of chicken but I ate it on the way home.

I hadn't heard that. It's kind of surprising, actually, but really great news.

Also, I didn’t put it in the recap, but Jay Bruce and Ryan Hanigan are expected to join the Bats today on rehab. Who knows how long they’ll stay, but that makes for a sick lineup:

Heisey CF
Frazier 2B
Bruce RF
Francisco 3B
Alonso 1B
Valaika SS
Hanigan C
Ford LF

That lineup should score some runs

yeah, I wonder if they are allowed to play in the playoffs if they are on rehab assignments

I have a feeling that is frowned upon.

I think they are

I remember when Hideki Matsui was on rehab. They sent him to Trenton, because Trenton made the playoffs. It didn’t really seem fair, putting Godzilla in the lineup against AA pitching, but they did it.

well, we were having some issues with one of the other mods not pulling his weight

So we wanted someone who could match BK, ’nukkah, and Scrabbles level of commitment.

Oh, and you know what I love about Yorman Rodriguez?

He just turned 17 three weeks ago and only one other player in the Pioneer League is still 17 and he turns 18 in December. And even though Rodriguez isn’t exactly tearing the league up, he’s not completely crapping all over himself either. A .681 OPS is bad, but I would expect a kid that is 4 or 5 years younger than the majority of players in the league to do much worse.

She said, "You don't even buy me presents." Yeah I did. I bought you a box of chicken but I ate it on the way home.

by Slyde on Sep 3, 2009 9:13 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, I'm really excited about him as a prospect.

He’s striking out a ton, but his BB/K ratios were really good in the GCL, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Plus he’s hitting for some power as a 16/17 year old with a wood bat. That’s pretty impressive.

all I'm worried about right now is that he's getting experience

It’s likely he’ll be in Billings again next year anyway.

by Slyde on Sep 3, 2009 9:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not so sure about that

If he has a good spring training, and progresses nicely throughout April, he could be in Dayton in May. With how they rushed him up to Billings this year, I’m not sure they’d want to wait until July to get him back into games.

by BK on Sep 3, 2009 9:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

oh yeah, I forgot that Billings starts late

but they could cover that with extended spring training and instructional league. I doubt they’ll rush him to Dayton though. It’s not exactly like he’s earned a call up. Unless of course he goes back to the DWL and plays and tears it up.

This is tempting and sounds fun

Let me get back to you in an hour or so. I think I have a few people I have to ask for permission, including
Kirkendall… I haven’t written anything for CJ in 5 days because I was moving from one apartment to another.

And my mom is out of town so I’ll have to check in with my dad. I might be out of the way for you to pick me up though?
