24 year-old Bobby Livingston (Mariners #4 – 2001) pitched another great game. Livingston threw 7 innings giving up just 4 H, 2 ER, and 0 BB while striking out 4.
23 year-old RF, Cody Strait (Reds #12 – 2004) went 2 for 5 with a 2B and an RBI. Strait, from Beaumont, TX, is hitting just .234/.300/.422.
24 year-old Calvin Medlock (Reds #39 – 2002) tossed two more scoreless innings. He now has 9.2 consecutive scoreless innings. He has a 1.69 ERA with 17 Ks, 1 BB, and 7 H in 10.2 IP.
22 year-old James Avery (Reds #5 – 2005) bounced back nicely from his last terrible start, going 6 IP giving up 3 H, a BB and 2 ER while striking out 5. He has a 4.22 ERA with 16 K, 4 BB, and 21 H in 21.1 IP.
Sarasota DNP; the FSL doesn’t play on Sunday.
22 year-old center fielder Drew Stubbs (Reds #1 – 2006) went 2 for 4 with a 2-run HR. Last years #1 pick is now hitting .357/.410/.500. Last year at Billings, Stubbs hit .252/.368/.400.
21 year-old starting pitcher Daryl Thompson (Expos #8 – 2003) pitched his 3rd straight gem. Thompson, who we obtained for just Ryan Wagner, Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez, now has a 0.53 ERA, with 13 K, 1 BB, and 10 H in 17 IP. You have to wonder, if the rest of the trade keeps looking as bad as it does, whether Krivsky will want to move Thompson as quickly as possible.
