Low-A Charleston‘s game was postponed due to wet grounds. No word on a makeup date.

Ryan Zink: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K – ’07 draft sleeper improves to 6-1 on the year…he was expected to be a 3rd rounder in ’06, but he ended up having Tommy John surgery last spring and is just now starting to round himself back into form
Jonathan Ortiz: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K – 17 baserunners & 43 K in 26.2 IP…where’d this guy come from???

Rookie GCL Yanks had a scheduled off day; tomorrow is the last day of the season, and they’ve already clinched a spot in the GCL playoffs thanks to 7 game lead in the Northern Division. Once the playoffs wrap up, I suspect the 3 big HS draftees (Carmen Angelini, Austin Romine & Taylor Grote) will go the Tampa and get work in at Extended Spring, with Brad Suttle likely joining SI for a playoff push.
