Daily Minor League Report 7/19/09

As you all probably know if you participate in the open threads that I am much more interested in the Padres' minor league system than I am the major league club right now. One of the major reasons for this is because there is a lot more talent in the minor leagues, not to mention two teams already in the playoffs by winning their half-season championships. Jbox suggested the other day that I do a minor league report and since I don't really have much to do until my first year of law school starts in a month I thought I'd do it. Also, this is a work in progress so please add any suggestions below along with your commentary. Without further ado,
AAA-Portland Beavers
Salt Lake 4 Portland 2 Box
Walter Silva (L 3-4) threw 6 innings giving up 3 ER on 6 hits with 5 Ks and 0 BBs. New acquired pitcher Ryan Webb gave up a run on two hits in one inning of work.
Danny Putnam's 2 run HR in the 9th accounted for the offense for Portland, who had been shut down until then.
AA- San Antonio Missions
San Antonio 7 Midland 1 Box
Cesar Carillo (W 8-4) had another good start going 7 IP and giving up only 1 ER on 3 hits. He struck out 3 and walked 1 to lower his ERA to 4.34.
Logan Forsythe his his second HR since being promoted a 3 run shot. Craig Cooper added a 2 RBI double and DH Anthony Contreras had three hits including two doubles.
High A- Lake Elsinore Storm
Lake Elsinore 8 Inland Empire 5 F/10 Box
Aaron Breit got the start and only lasted 4 IP giving up 5 R but one 1 ER on 7 hits. He struck out 5 but walked three. The bullpen picked him up and didn't give up any more runs giving the offense time to make the comeback win. Colt Hynes (W 2-0) picked up the win pitching two scoreless in relief and closer Bryan Oland picked up his 22nd save for the Storm.
Matt Clark and James Darnell had two HRs a piece accounting for 5 of the Storm's 8 runs. Matt Clark finished with 2 hits, 2 RBI, and 2 runs. James Darnell had 3 hits, 3 RBI, and 2 Runs.
A Fort Wayne Tincaps
Fort Wayne 3 Quad Cities 1 Sus/5th Box
The Fort Wayne and Quad Cities game was suspended due to rain with one out in the top of the 5th. So far, Fort Wayne's starter Chris Fetter had gone 4.1 IP and had given up 1 ER on 4 hits while striking out 5 and walking 1.
Jaff Decker hit a 2 run HR and Yefri Carvajal added a double to pace the Tincaps. The game will resume tonight at 7EST.
A Short Season Eugene Emeralds
Eugene 1 Tri-City 2 F/11 Box
Former Aztec hurler behind Strasburg and Lavigne, Jon Berger continued his domination on the mound making his first start for Eugene since being promoted from Rookie ball. He threw 8 IP giving up 1 ER on 7 Hits striking out 3 and walking 1. In six pro starts since being drafted, Berger has Ked 36 in 35 IP while walking only 3 and giving up 27 hits good for a 0.86 WHIP and giving up 10 ER good for a 2.57 ERA.
Unfortunately, the Ems were only able to scrap together 3 singles (sound familiar?) and so nobody on the offense deserves mentioning.
Rookie Ball AZL Padres
The Padres rookie ball team had the day off. They will play today at 7 EST.

Good start Tec.
I’d suggest experimenting with the format, as well as to keep an eye out for interesting situations that occur during the games that don’t show up in the box score. For example, that XXXX reliever came in with 2 on and nobody out and struck out the side.

The thing that worries me most about these prospects playing well...
is that all of our current struggling players were just as good when they were at those levels. Headley, Blanks, Venable, Hundley, Antonelli, and Kouzmanoff (not in our system of course, but he put up some serious MiLB numbers).
Now that’s not to say those players will continue to struggle, or that our current prospects are going to struggle just like them, but rather that the Padres very rarely have prospects come up and make serious impacts on the major league squad. Jake Peavy is the only one still on our team that’s done that.
You're worried about prospects playing well?
I kind of get what you are saying, and I agree, our farm system has sucked for years.
But you shouldn’t be worried about prospects playing well. The alternative would be much worse.
It's not exactly a "worry"
as much as it’s me having a hard time getting really excited about these players. Back when Blanks and Headley and all them were coming up I was ecstatic seeing them develop and reach the big leagues. Now it’s just like “huh, we’ll have to wait and see”.
I guess I just didn’t word it right (as usual).
Good start
But dress it up a bit. Bullet points and maybe a table here and there to align some of the links to box scores.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
I've thought about doing this for a while
But, I worried about getting overburdened with it. Plus, it’s really hard to glean much from a single day’s worth of data. A weekly update made some sense to me, but even that seemed like a lot of work. Not to mention, jbox and Dex probably find this all really boring.

it was Dex's
we’re different people!
I actually like the idea, but I’m not your demographic. There’s an interest for this type of thing, but personally I only care about players once they’ve become Padres and sometimes not even then.
Where is that Dex
I want to play some Tiger Woods 10 on Wii

It serves as something to take our minds off of the losing.
To give hope for the future.

right.
So you’re really going to do this daily? What’s the over/under on how many days you actually do this.

Four days
and then we’ll hear how you lost all the “data” on your laptop.
Drama is an a-hole.

I think maybe a weekly spotlight on a certain prospect or team could work too

I have a lot of free time until school starts

Christian Fetter, RHP, Fort Wayne Tin Caps
It’s worth pointing out that this was Fetter’s first start for the Tin Caps. He previously pitched in 5 games (all starts) for Eugene and those were apparently good enough to test him out with Fort Wayne. Based on the early results from the suspended game yesterday, it looks like the Padres were right about promoting him. Here is player page on www.milb.com.

Whoops
heh, should just be Chris Fetter. Don’t know where I got the Christian from.

Does anyone know if Putnam is local to SD?
I seem to remember meeting a local prep baseball player with a very similar name right around 2000, 2001. Did he go to RB or Poway?
TBD
by IputtheYinTony on Jul 21, 2009 12:55 PM PDT reply actions
He went to RB
Class of 2001. He set the San Diego CIF record in Home Runs, which I believe was previously set by Adrian in 2000. It has since been broken at least once (they play more games now than they used to). He then went to Stanford.
