STRIKE ONE: Alvin Chartrand has been pitching quite well in the Choppers rotation. The organization is still holding out hope that he can be an effective big league starter despite two failed stints since last year.
STRIKE TWO: Minor league FA signee Jeff Whitney , a right handed pitcher, has been opening eyes over his first 11 appearances (1.78 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, 2 SV).
STRIKE THREE: Las Vegas is expecting a big second half from outfielder Chad Garrett , who would probably be in the big leagues right now if his production has been higher.
STRIKE ONE: Looking for further development in the second half from a bevy of talented arms on the Aces staff. Marvin Atkinson , Wayne Mawle , Angel Lorenzo , Senzo Kobayashi and Ricardo Moreno all need to close the 2038 season strongly.
STRIKE TWO: Tom Rudge was assigned to Reno immediately following his signing post-draft. While that's an aggressive placement for any new professional, Rudge has not only competed but utterly dominated. He has a 2.5 WAR in just 35 games. The plan is to give him reps in the outfield corners and see if he continues to force the issue...if so a promotion to the big club before the end of the year isn't out of the question.
STRIKE THREE: Super-utility prospect Mike England has turned the corner over the past two months. Along with double play partner Phil Logan the Hustlers have a talented infield duo that should be able to help the big club by next season at the latest.
STRIKE ONE: Nelion Mkubwa is back with the Ranchers after flopping in Reno (.188/.286/.372). This tactic has worked with numerous Hustlers prospects in the past, most recently the aforementioned England.
STRIKE TWO: Though a starter by trade, Richard Shaw has been flat out dominant as the Ranchers closer this year.
STRIKE THREE: Once a top prospect, the luster has worn off Alfredo Cuellar but it doesn't bother him. He just keeps putting up great numbers. Could he still be a diamond in the rough?
STRIKE ONE: The Hustlers had high hopes for Randy Bader (their 5th rounder from high school this year) and he's been solid right out of the gate, quickly earning a promotion to Kingston where he's been holding his own.
STRIKE TWO: Long Beach may think they are the "smoke and mirrors" champion, but they don't have anything on this no-name pitching staff. There's no one decent here, but great numbers all around.
STRIKE THREE: Last years #1 pick, LHP Tetsuzan Yamanaka is starting to look like a total bust.
STRIKE ONE: Supplemental #1 pick Gerald Abbott and 4th round pick Fekadu Bbosa are both pitching outstanding atop the rotation.
STRIKE TWO: The first professional season of RHP Emanuele Mercati out of Italy has been very promising. He's got a long way to go but fans and teammates alike are getting a kick out of his quick wit.
STRIKE THREE: 14th round pick Sixto Cisneros has an awesome nickname: "Ball O'Fat".
