Down on the Farm
I hammered out 3 of my 4 finals this morning, so while I had some free time I thought I'd update the goings on of the farm system the last few days.

I think my little "Games without a HR" feature on the left sidebar cursed Eric Duncan, because he's been benched since I put it up (unless he's hurt).

Triple-A Columbus
(Saturday: 6-0 loss to Norfolk, struck out 16 times as a team)
Andy Cannizaro: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 2 K
Carlos Pena: 0 for 2, 3 K
Mitch Jones: 0 for 3, 3 K
Caonabo Cosme: 0 for 3, 2 K, 2 E (both fielding)
Matt DeSalvo: .2 IP, 0 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5 BB, 0 K, 1 HB - 18 of 44 pitches were strikes (40.9%), the 5 BB were all consecutive, and all 5 R scored with 2 outs (here's the game log, cause that's a hell of a pitching line)
Matt Childers: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K - 6-2 GB/FB ratio
(Sunday: 1-0 win over Norfolk)
Jason Conti: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 CS
Robert Stratton: 0 for 4, 2 K
Carlos Pena: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K
Ramiro Mendoza: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K - uncharacteristic 6-8 GB/FB ratio

Tommy Rojas: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 K
Danny Borrell: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
TJ Beam: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
(Sunday: 4-3 win over Bowie)
Gabe Lopez: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 BB
Bronson Sardinha: 1 for 4, 1 BB
Randy Ruiz: 2 for 5, 1 K

Jeff Karstens: 7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K - first start since being demoted (11-6 GB/FB ratio)
Charlie Manning: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

High-A Tampa
(Saturday: 3-2 win over Jupiter)
Eduardo Nunez: 0 for 4, 1 K
Brett Gardner: 0 for 0, 1 R, 1 BB - PH & scored go ahead run in the top of the 9th
Cody Ehlers: 1 for 4
Marcos Vechionacci: 2 for 4, 1 K
PJ Pilittere: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K - C threw out 2 potential base stealers
Brett Smith: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 1 WP
(Sunday: scheduled off day)

Low-A Charleston
(Saturday: 4-3 loss to Rome)
Austin Jackson: 3 for 5, 1 RBI, 2 K - thrown out at second trying to stretch a single into a double
Mario Holmann: 2 for 3, 1 BB, 3 SB
Jose Tabata: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 2 K
Brett Jones: 2 for 4
CJ Henry: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (throwing) - 6th error in 15 games
Edgar Soto: 3 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
Bryan Villalona: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
(Sunday: scheduled off day)

Mindblowing Jose Tabata stat-of-the-day: If you were worried about Tabata's plate discipline after he struck out 17 times and walked only once in his first 15 games, well, Tabs has struck out only 9 times and drawn 5 walks in his last 21 games...while registering 29 H and 17 RBI.
