AFL Update: November 2, 2010
Tidbits from Tuesday's AFL action
Three Nats bats saw time in yesterday’s game, which saw the Scottsdale Scorpions’ winning streak snapped with a 7-4 loss to the Peoria Javelinas:
- Derek Norris caught and batted sixth, going 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and two strikeouts. He also committed two throwing errors and allowed a stolen base
- Michael Burgess played RF and batted eighth and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout
- Steve Lombardozzi played SS and batted ninth, and also went o-for-4 with a strikeout. He committed an error as well
Sammy Solis is scheduled to make his fourth start tomorrow. Solis was one of several pitchers recently featured in The Hardball Times which contains some video but it’s from the spring, not this fall.
Also on our radar is the 2010 AFL Rising Stars game, which will be broadcast on Saturday night on MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com. Rosters have not yet been released, but one would strongly suspect that they will find a way to make Bryce Harper available.
Sue_D: BA posted the AFL Futures rosters about 3:00pm, and it looks like no Harper. However, I did see a couple of Nationals on the list.
Yes, and no Norris, either. To be honest, it almost looks like the managers got together and decided whose turn it was to play and built the roster based on that.
