The G-Nats have yet to lose in three games as they folded the G-Cards, 3-1 yesterday afternoon. Ninth Rd. pick Alex Troop started and turned in two perfect innings with two K’s. The win went to Dirtbag David Smith who stranded three in the 5th and worked around a single in the 6th. Jackson Cramer singled twice to lead the hit column of just six.
Welcome to pro ball, Kameron Esthay, with a homer for the 26th rounder. Nice pro debut for Alex Troop as well, who I assume will relocate to Upstate NY soon. He was a solid Friday starter for a B1G team.
Luke, thanks for taking my request! I also appreciate the abbreviated Syracuse blurb. The Chiefs are, by several games, the worst team in minor league baseball. No need to spend much more time on such a miserable team (aside from Stevenson and Fedde).
I think Noll might also need to get added to the overdue/overage Hagerstown promotion list.
Nick Raquet, the lefty the Nats took in the third round from Bill & The Bitch, just made his GCL debut with 2 scoreless innings, allowing 2 hits, walking none and fanning two.
OK, who had Adrian Sanchez getting a big league call up this season?
Granted, not a lot of options in AAA (or AA), but his numbers don’t exactly demand a promotion: .312/.384/.696 OBP/SLG/OPS with 4 steals in 72 games.
Wow. Reminds me of what people used to say about Duke Football “we are small, but we are slow”.
Sanchez has no power, but makes up for it with little speed and a below average glove. Happy for him, but the organization’s lack of depth in the upper levels is obvious (the Nats last two call ups: trading for Ryan Raburn and bringing up 10 year MILB vet Adrian Sanchez).
Yep, good for Sanchez, but goodness, the lack of depth in the upper minors is frightening. Snyder could be a decent utility guy, but he can’t play SS. Manny Burriss would be the only other option, and he’s just back from his suspension.
Solis to 60-day DL, so no one DFA’d.
Why do you think that Sanchez has a below average glove?
Kevin Mooney could not take his career to hags. Wow.
Next phase , Kevin. Good luck
