Re: 2012 Minor League discussion
Shelby struck out 9 over 5 innings last night.
For QC, Nick Martini went 2 for 4 with a walk-off walk in the bottom of the 10th inning, and Tyler Rahmatulla hit his first HR.

Re: 2012 Minor League discussion
Figured I'd post this as well. Rw seems a bit optimistic. If we're still getting great pitching from our current staff then I see no need to bring him up.
Shelby Miller allowed just one run and struck out nine over five innings Wednesday at Triple-A Memphis.
The right-handed prospect had a rough first couple outings at the Triple-A level but seems to have made the necessary adjustments. Miller now has 19 strikeouts in 13 innings thus far for Memphis and should be added to the St. Louis rotation at some point this summer.

If Wainwright continues to struggle and Carp isn't ready, is Shelby the next guy in line to step into the rotation?

Re: 2012 Minor League discussion
Maybe not this early in the season, but at some point definitely. I'm not sure how much time they feel that Miller needs to prove himself at AAA, but I would think that if he's cruising at the mid-point that would be long enough.cards2468 wrote:If Wainwright continues to struggle and Carp isn't ready, is Shelby the next guy in line to step into the rotation?

Re: 2012 Minor League discussion
They aren't taking Wainwright out of the rotation unless he is injured. Or at least not until July. And by that point if he still isn't producing odds are that it is injury related. I think Wainwright just has a bit of a dead arm.cards2468 wrote:If Wainwright continues to struggle and Carp isn't ready, is Shelby the next guy in line to step into the rotation?

Re: 2012 Minor League discussion
It would almost have to be Miller, but I wonder what the org thinks about Joe Kelly right now. Dickson doesn't look like much more than AAAA, and Additon is never mentioned in any major league context.

QC beat Dayton tonight 5-4 in 13 innings for their 5th straight win. Danny Miranda threw 3 innings in relief, allowing 1H, 1BB and getting 4K's to get the win.
Roberto De La Cruz has not played since April 10th. He's nursing some kind of leg injury. David Medina has been playing 1B in his absence, and has been doing pretty well. Anybody know anything about Medina? He's 6'-4", 230 lbs and seems to have some power. Judging by the # of games he's played, looks like he might have been battling injuries the last few seasons.

In Springfield's series here in Midland Wong made a couple nifty plays. One on a backhanded play up the middle to get the man at first and another going into the hole between 1st and 2nd. He's one of the more polished defensive second baseman I've seen since being in Midland.

We signed de la Cruz as a catcher and shifted him to 3b correct?

BBRef lists him at 162lbs. Can't be right.pioneer98 wrote:David Medina has been playing 1B in his absence, and has been doing pretty well. Anybody know anything about Medina?

Pretty good spread between his BA and OBP. ISOs aren't remarkable but he seems to have made great progress as a hitter since starting professionally at 18 years young. Might be coming into his own.
At some point, there will be a "Funky Cold Medina" reference here.
