Copied from yesterday's thread:

Just back from the LV game.

Grullon came to bat in the first inning with runners at 1B and 2B, and hit a seed up the alley in RCF, plating both runners. Next AB, he hit one out to RCF that clanked around the Martin Guitar (for those who have been to Coca-Cola park). 3rd AB, ripped a ground ball right at the 3B. Fourth AB, with a runner on third, hooked a screaming liner into the corner in LF for an RBI double (almost out at 2B, beat the tag with a really weird rolling slide). He looks supremely confident at the plate, but you would too if you were hitting over .350 I guess... Reminds me of Carlos Ruiz who broke out in AAA. Should have some value to the Phils in a backup/DH role or as a trade piece.

Suarez has a really good slider. Got lots of bad swings and misses from the Buffalo guys, but he really doesn't have an effective 2nd pitch. Needs to locate an average FB.

Dohy has a good slow curve (mid-70s mph) and a 90 mph deceptive FB. Pitched decently and had a bit of bad luck.

Rodriguez, Adams, Romine, and McBride are really good AAA players, but Antequera and Cumana aren't even good AA guys. If the Phils send a CF to LV who gets through waivers they should contend for the IL title. Grullon has MVP stats so far.

With the rule change next year (3 batter minimum), Suarez may actually have a bit of value as a lefty out of the pen to get an important lefty with his slider and manage through two additional hitters with his experience as a starter, especially if he can locate a 92-94mph fastball out of the pen for those couple batters.

Just FYI but this 5/26 thread is just re linking the 5/25 games

Pending kikutaro's figuring out what's going on with the minor league 'bot, here's a link to the Phils' affiliate scoreboard, which has some of the same info the 'bot normally posts:

Yeah, watching him yesterday I thought reliever, too.

Also, just for everyone' info, Grullon is now hitting .359 with a 1.012 OPS.

[fish]

Pipkin started off 93-94 mph in his first 20 pitches, then settled down to 90-91. Below average curve but he threw some good looking mid-80s sliders. Throwing the curve more often though.

Long arms, athletic looking body with room to grow. You can see there is going to be big velocity coming some day.

Colton Eastman with a pretty good start today in Clearwater... just sayin'.

[julio]

LHV has announced that Drew Anderson will start tonight in the spot vacated by the announcement that Pivetta will start Tuesday for the Phils:

Lehigh Valley IronPigs (IronPigs)

Grullon another homer tonight, but only 1/4.
