Jaff Decker having a decent AFL so far. Hopefully he hits a few dingers next week.

So is Gyorko, as he just hit his first jack.

Both had nice days today.

9 HR's combined in the two games.
Nightcap just kicked off. Bryce Harper looking for his first hit. (0-13 4K's thus far)

 

[Jaypers]

It's a night of firsts for Harper.

After going 0 for his first 15, he finally collected his first hit.

And his first RBI. And his first SB.

 

[Superfractor]

Casey Weathers with a 1-2-3, one-inning win?! No walks to boot.


Parker Frazier is looking great early on with a sub-2 ERA.

Was just going to post about Decker. He's such a streaky player but when he's on, he's on. Hope he continues to produce, adds a little power, and sees a price increase for his BC autos.

Today, in the wacky department, Andy Oliver is listed as the starter for both the Salt River Rafters and the opposing Scottsdale Scorpions.

Talk about a full plate.

Andrew Cashner from what i have read has looked real good in relief throwing the ball well an hitting 100+ on the gun. Hoping the Cubs dont turn him into a bullpen/closer. He could be there ace. he had a freak injury an instead of surgery they wanted him to recover from it on his own. He did an i think next year will be big for him an my collection.

Glad to hear it. I am a big cashner fan. But DAMN, did they overproduce the heck out of his cards. I bought his contenders, elites, and bowman chrome 1st issues. Now there are a freaking 100 autos out there.

Scottsdale vs Salt River goes off tonight

 

[t3dudek]

Yea i have a ton of his Elite auto's but he is a very over produced player. Likely there is atleast a yearly gap in between the issues so you know what the rookie cards collectors will want if he produces.

Gerrit Cole will be making his "pro" debut for Mesa vs. Surprise tomorrow.

 

[topprospectalert]

Hultzen is pitching for Peoria this afternoon. 2IP, 1ER, 4H, 1BB, 0K thus far

Bryce Harper had a hit last night in the nightcap to raise his average to .081 It seems his trend is to do awful the first couple of weeks at each level and then turn it on as he gets comfortable. He's still waiting for that turning on phase it would seem.

Top over all pick from 2011 draft Gerrit Cole makes his pro debut this afternoon.
