Minor League Report

From Jamie Ramsey:

Clean sweep for the Reds farm teams…Louisville beats Scranton/WB thanks to near perfect pitching by Justin Lehr (8ip, 1h, 1r/1hr, 0bb, 5k, perfect game through 7.1ip)…Jerry Hairston almost hit for the cycle…Jay Bruce homered and tripled…Chattanooga wins the series vs. Montgomery…Luis Bolivar entered the record books, becoming just the 11th player in the storied history of the Southern League to collect 6 hits in a game…Shaun Cumberland hit one over the fence…B.J. Szymanski swinging a hot bat…Sarasota beats up on the Yankees…Chris Valaika is currently murdering the ball – he had 4 hits including a circuit clout…Travis Wood was sharp in the start (4.2ip, 2h, 2bb, 7k)…The Dragons win in their home opener thanks to a late-inning Denis Phipps RBI-single…Brandon Waring is pretty efficient at hitting home runs – he hit another one last night.



Results for Louisville’s starting pitchers after the first spin through the rotation:

RHP Homer Bailey: 0-1, 7ip, 1r, 1bb, 2k, 1hr
LHP Matt Maloney: 3.2ip, 7h, 3r, 1bb, 2k
RHP Tom Shearn: 1-0, 5ip, 0h, 0r, 3bb, 5k
LHP Adam Pettyjohn: 7ip, 7h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 6k, 1hr
RHP Justin Lehr: 8ip, 1h, 1r, 1er, 0bb, 5k, 1hr

Where did Justin Lehr come from? Is he 'projected' to be a major leaguer?

Homer appears to have had a good outing despite not getting the win. Hope he was working on throwing the curve or change-up and that is why his k's were down. It will be interesting to see how Maloney develops at AAA this year. Glad to see the College BB games over so everyone can get focused on baseball.

B.J. Szymanski and Chris Valaika are very interesting names. AAA already has a pretty good outfield, and B.J. Szymanski has been hurt some probably slowing his development.

He is also a center fielder, and Valaika a Shortstop. Nice pieces to have developing...

I remember a debate on here about how wins are an overrated stat. pretty sure judging by bailey and lehr's stat lines they deserved a win, and bailey got a loss after only giving up 1 run. wins = overrated.

Great first trip through for the AAA pitchers. Seems with the hitters in the lineup that Bailey losing while giving up 1 run is something that won't happen often.

Joe Homer pitched really good he didnt get the win bc the hitting didnt show up they lost 2-0. I still hope that the Reds start rolling so they will leave the Bats alone becuase this lineup plus the pitching staff (minus Majewski) looks pretty good!!

I heard that Ryan Hanigian is on the DL for the bats now we got Kris Kroskie, dangit

Justin Lehr is a 30-year-old right-hander. He pitched in the majors in '04 and '05, '06. 4-3 with a 5.31 ERA in 66 games, all in relief.

Lehr trivia: Was drafted three times.
