We had a correspondent in the house! Read the reports from "okdan" in the Shout Box.
He liked Dario Pizzano (26intheMix) with good reason: single, double, triple, walk.
And he was impressed by Janelfry Zorrilla. The develoment staff likes Zorrilla as well, but he's yet to put up stats to put himself on the map.
Thanks for the reports, Dan!
Short Season-A -- Salem-Keizer 8, Everett 0 -- Box
Can't say much about the offense or the pitching, so ...
Um ... OK ... Jack Reinheimer had two singles.

Yet another loss, but at least Kristian Brito (Watch List) had a bust-out game with a home run and two singles.
Aaron Barbosa also had two hits.
AZL Rookie -- Mariners 9, Giants 5 [12 innings] -- Box

Looking Ahead
Victor Sanchez (Talk40 #12), James Paxton (Talk40 #3), Lars Huijer all listed. Good stuff.
Thanks for not poking me in the ribs.
I give up some Tenbrink love, then he goes all o'fer 5 on me!
A tongue-in-the-cheek chiding would have been well deserved. Even more so because only one of those New Mexico guys was a lefty.
Impeccable timing for me to call for the promotion, huh?
All the same, he has value.
