Any scouting report on Cleto Crabal?
Maybe there’s something in the water in Harrisburg they want Meyers to avoid.
cj – Aside from FB with good movement, no. Someone asked if he was related to former Nationals farmhand Marcos Cabral, the answer is I do not know
ok thanks, will have to wait for a ben badler chat
This is hard to quantify but it sure seems we are getting more POTWs this year than in the past. This would indicate that, in fact, the farm is stronger than before.
Dick – Because you asked (and it’s slow at work)
As of this date, here are the POTW counts:
2005: 4 pitchers + 4 hitters
2006: 2 pitchers + 2 hitters
2007: 4 pitchers + 6 hitters
2008: 3 pitchers + 8 hitters
2009: 6 pitchers + 3 hitters
There 18 total POTW in 2005 (11 PIT/7 HIT), 7 total in 2006 (3 PIT/4 HIT), 12 total in 2007 (5 PIT/7HIT), and 15 total in 2008 (5 PIT/10 HIT).
Facts can be very pesky things. I buess subconsciously I was thinking of ptichers. Kind of confirms this. I’m surprised we had 8 hitters last year. Marrero was healthy most of that time, Burgess did well at low-A, Davis and Lowrance probably made the list, too.
Very interesting but probably proves nothing!
Brad Myers was promoted to Harrisburg today.
