It's been two weeks since I last did this, so here we go again. Each's player's stats as of last time (April 19) are also presented.
Erick Aybar
SS, AA Arkansas
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGYou see he's picked up the average, but the power is not there at all. He somehow lost a walk, which means I probably had a typo last time.
Now 82 24 6 1 0 2 8 293 341 390
Then 43 10 3 1 0 3 2 233 292 349
Alberto Callaspo
2B, AA Arkansas
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGThe walks are a nice addition, even though the batting average has come down to Earth. He's stroked a few more doubles in the last couple of weeks. As this is his second year at AA, continued improvement would be welcome.
Now 97 30 3 0 1 10 6 309 370 371
Then 45 16 1 0 0 3 2 356 388 378
Nick Gorneault
OF, AAA Salt Lake
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGThat's more like it, as Gorneault rediscovers his power, raising his isolated power to .151. Still, this is a guy that has to hit .300 to be of much worth.
Now 73 23 6 1 1 7 16 315 370 466
Then 39 11 4 0 0 4 9 282 349 385
Howie Kendrick
2B, A Rancho Cucamonga
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGUm, I'm not going to complain about that.
Now 111 46 7 2 8 7 19 414 459 730
Then 58 23 2 1 4 1 10 397 407 672
Baltasar Lopez
1B, A Rancho Cucamonga
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGAfter having served the first two weeks of the season on a drug suspension, Baltasar is getting blown away right now.
Now 37 5 0 0 0 2 10 135 175 135
Then 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --- --- ---
Warner Madrigal
OF, A Cedar Rapids
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGHe's getting worked, and is working his way toward non-prospect status. But he has improved in the last two weeks, so don't give up yet.
Now 77 17 2 0 4 1 24 221 231 403
Then 33 6 1 0 1 0 11 182 182 303
Jeff Mathis
C, AAA Salt Lake
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGThe strong start continues, though his power and walks went away in the last couple of weeks. Still, he wasn't going to hit .400 forever; he aint' Howie Kendrick.
Now 51 19 7 1 2 5 11 373 421 667
Then 27 11 6 1 2 5 6 407 500 926
Mike Napoli
C/1B, AA Arkansas
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGCan you believe all those walks? A little less power and he'd fit right in in the A's organization.
Now 70 20 8 0 1 20 21 286 452 443
Then 32 9 5 0 1 9 11 281 442 531
Sean Rodriguez
SS, A Cedar Rapids
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGThe hits aren't falling, and the walks won't be enough to make Brandon Wood hear footsteps if that continues.
Now 86 19 4 1 1 11 14 221 316 326
Then 36 9 1 0 1 5 6 250 341 361
Andrew Toussaint
2B, A Cedar Rapids
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGHow would you feel if that start still kept you pretty much last on the organizational depth chart?
Now 37 12 4 0 0 5 11 324 409 432
Then 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --- --- ---
NEW ADDITION!
Reggie Willits
OF, AA Arkansas
He's been unexceptional but decent up until this year, but so far in 2005:
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGHe's also stolen 10 bases in 12 attempts; he has a good sense of the strike zone and is getting some doubles, as well. Keep your eyes open.
Now 99 38 9 3 0 12 12 384 451 535
Brandon Wood
SS, A Rancho Cucamonga
When? AB H 2B 3B HR BB SO AVG OBP SLGSomeone's enjoying the Cal League. I love the new power, but I hate the strikeout-to-walk ratio. But this is easily the best Wood has played, hitters' league or no.
Now 106 35 5 2 10 7 27 330 368 698
Then 51 15 0 0 5 6 12 294 368 588

Daniel Davidson

When? W L SV G GS IP H HR SO BB ERASome rockiness, but overall not bad.

Then 2 0 0 2 2 11.7 14 0 8 1 2.31
Abel Moreno
Has not played.
Ervin Santana
SP, AA Arkansas
When? W L SV G GS IP H HR SO BB ERAThe strikeouts and walks are improving, and though he's given up a few more runs, it's still well within the margin of good. Does a point come where Santana moves to AAA? He's young and you don't want to rush him, but if his ERA's still below 2.50 in a month, you have to wonder what more the Texas League will hold for him. But we get ahead of ourselves ...
Now 5 0 0 5 5 30.0 26 1 20 13 2.10
Then 2 0 0 2 2 13.0 8 0 5 5 0.69
Steve Shell
SP, AA Arkansas
When? W L SV G GS IP H HR SO BB ERAHis last two starts, as you see, have been pretty good, as in 14 IP he's struck out 13 and only walked 2, while only allowing 12 hits and lowering his ERA by nearly two runs.
Now 1 2 0 5 5 27.7 29 4 21 10 4.88
Then 0 1 0 3 3 13.7 17 2 8 8 6.59
Von Stertzbach
RP, AA Arkansas
When? W L SV G GS IP H HR SO BB ERAHe's allowed 5 unearned runs, as well. He doesn't seem to have done so much better in the last two weeks than in the two weeks before that.
Now 1 0 5 12 0 12.0 13 2 9 7 4.50
Then 1 0 3 6 0 7.3 8 1 4 3 4.91
Bob Zimmerman
RP, A Rancho Cucamonga
When? W L SV G GS IP H HR SO BB ERAAh, relievers' ERA are fun in the beginning of the season! His last six innings are rather unremarkable.
Now 1 3 3 11 0 10.7 14 1 11 5 6.75
Then 1 2 1 5 0 4.7 8 1 8 3 11.57
