Sarasota 5, Daytona 4

23 year-old Paul Janish (Reds #5 – 2004) went 1 for 4 with a 2B and 2 RBI.  Since being promoted, Janish, from Cypress, Texas, is now hitting .279/.358/.429

    Actually for a teenager at LOW A he has a very respectable WHIP.

    Yep, and there is no shortage of relievers in the system that deserve to pitch over Scott Schoenwis. Scott Chiasson and Brad Salmon for sure

    Doug,

    Bull Sh*^@ If you think that teams don’t look at numbers for these players you know less about the minor leagues than your email address would suggest.

    If Wood was totally sucking as a 19 year old at LOW A I wouldn’t be concerned, however the fact he has great peripherals is a fantastic sign.

    People need to get over the fact that MOST minor leaguers don’t make it. I want all of the guys in our system to excel, but I can be realistic enough to know that there are probably less than 10 guys right now in our system that will ever be Major Leaguers. And only 2 or 3 will be good ones.

    I think Krivsky said the other day that he would shut down Bailey when he got to 30 innnings over what he did last year. I bet they do the same with Wood.
