Winter ballin’

By Mike Axisa

AzFL Peoria Javelinas (9-3 los to Mesa) don’t worry, JP will be back soon…
Brett Gardner: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB - hit in every game he’s played so far…on base 12 times in 5 games
Juan Miranda: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – 6 hits (including a double & 2 jacks) & 6 RBI in his last 3 games
Reegie Corona: 0 for 4, 1 K
Steven White: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 HBP – oi
Steven Jackson: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K - 21 of 29 pitches were strikes (72.4%)
Kevin Whelan: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K – despite all his control issues this year, dude had 96 K & a .159 BAA in 82.1 IP

HWB Honolulu (4-3 loss to North Shore)
Austin Jackson: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
Bradley Suttle: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 E (throwing) - third straight game with a double after going hitless in his first 8 games
Anthony Claggett: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Venezuela Winter League had no games scheduled. The Dominican Winter League season kicks off Wednesday, but the rosters haven’t been announced. I never really followed the league, so I don’t have any idea of what kind of players typically play there. I’m gonna guess that you’ll see names like Jesus Montero, Kelvin DeLeon, Abe Almonte & Jairo Heredia, but again, this is nothing more than a guess.

Update: Now that I think about it, I remember hearing that Robbie Cano hit like, .380 in the DWL last year, so I guess the league does feature both big leaguers and prospects. We’ll find out in 24-hours anywho.

The Dominican Winter League is Big Time. It features players like David Ortiz, Miguel Tejada, Cano and Melky to name a few.

Hah, Ortiz-Miggy-Robbie-Melky…which one of these things doesn’t belong?

Ortiz. The other three play defense. ;)
