Good:
Kyle Seager (still good): 2nd HR at AAA -- through 12 games: .455/.500/.673, 7 XBH, 5 BB vs. 6 K
Vinnie Catricala (also still good): 4-for-5, 2 doubles -- through 6 AA games: .458/.500/.917, 6 XBH, 1 BB vs. 4 K
20-year-old Jordan Shipers (Everett): 6.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K
19-year-old Jose Valdivia (Pulaski): 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
Valdivia is a 6-4, 195 Nicaraugan righty who was touted as reaching mid-90s but was on the DL all last season. Seems back on the right track this year with 18 K and 4 BB in 16.0 IP.
So there's another two starter prospects acquitting themselves well.
And, of course, The Electric Bat had those 2 HR, as mentioned in the prior post.
Bad:
Unfortunately, two of my favorites:
Tom Wilhelmsen (Jackson) was miserable, 63 pitches, 36 strikes -- 3.0 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 2 K. Not the guy he was last year for whatever reason.
Brandon Maurer (High Desert) -- 3.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
He's been shelled both times since returning from the DL (more than just usual High Desert shellings, that is).
