Looks like they decided to move Aaron Thompson back to Harrisburg when they outrighted Bergmann to Syracuse.
The model still remains: veteran depth for the most part: Syracuse. Promising prospects almost major league ready: Harrisburg
I wonder if that will change?
Thats the model that most teams are using these days, Eastern League is the most talented year in year out
Sunday Afternoon in Woodbridge: http://bit.ly/dpuwdz
Peacock was better this time out, but something needs to be done about that site picture ;-)
Does anyone know what happened to Brad Meyers?
Richard – He’s rehabbing from off-season foot surgery
Folks, Bryce Harper update from the CSN website: 17 yrs old Playing against 18-22 year olds Wooden bat Avg-.410 Games- 47 AB-156 R-60 H-64 2B-14 3B-1 HR-21 RBI-59 TotBases-143 Slg%-.917 BB-27 HBP-1 K-29 OBP-.497 stolen Bases-Att-15-17. Wow! Anyone think we ought to draft someone else?
Let’s play two!
Harper cracked 4 dingers this weekend.
And Ranaudo got shelled, 9ER vs Miss. We might as well start negotiating now
Where’s the power? There’s no power anywhere. It looks like we’ve neutered Burgess.
The power will come in the form of Bryce Harper as soon as we draft and sign him.
@Andrew F. – Just when I thought Burgess was learning to go with the outside pitch, he’s reverted to form by flailing at the soft-and-away pitches with two strikes. Lefties aren’t kryptonite thus far, but I haven’t seen him hit anything close to a HR – remember one of those four doubles was a windblown popup!
