Derek "The Hammer" Norris with another dinger today.

Any chance he sees the Majors this year?

No way... hes currently in A ball....

Not for long if he keeps hitting like he is. IT isn't too much of a stretch if a guy starts AA in Juna and gets called up in September...

They will move him slowly. He should be in Potomac by the end of the year, but I doubt he will get to AA.

Base hit in the 5th makes it an 11-game hitting streak for DJ.

A poor outing for Poveda this evening:

Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Poveda 6.1 9 5 5 0 3 1 3.74

Was strong until the 5th. Still an underrated pitching prospect.

Alderson moves to 2-0

 

[soccerman034]

Denny Almonte with a good day so far: 2-3, with a 2B and a 3B. He should get at least one more at bat.

Jon Gilmore 3-4 , 12-19 last 5 games

Casey Kelly is human -- got his 1st loss.

Tim Melville had a good debut:

6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

I read Kelly was pitching in pouring rain when he gave up the runs.

That Melville/Matusz USA Dual could go to Laporta/Wieters heights if both continue to pitch lights out.

Wow, Zeke Spruill got hammered today, moving to 6-1 on the season:
