    He has mashed for 2 games, not so much in the other 4. Certainly off to a better start than last year.

    Only 4 AL West prospects in that list, the 2 Astros, Taveras for the Rangers, and Barreto for the A's.

    Ryan Hartman allowed a run (on a solo homer) on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5 in 5 innings.

    That homer he allowed, unfortunately, is the only run of the game. Quad Cities is trailing Peoria 1-0 in the 6th.

    HYPE from Baseball Prospectus daily report. If Whitley can repeat his delivery and throw strikes, he's gonna move fast.


    Forrest Whitley    , RHP, Houston Astros, (Low-A, Quad Cities): 5 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 6 K
    Touching 98 in this game, Whitley was the prototypical “big Texan” of last year’s draft, signing for $3,178,000 to forego his college commitment. Unlike most other former prep arms, Whitley has a four-pitch mix, with the curveball and fastball the best offerings

    Hector Perez tagged in and threw 4.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, walking 3, and striking out 5. He got the L as Quad Cities walked off with a 3-2 loss in 10 innings. The winning run was an inherited runner that was charged to him.

    Also in Buies Creek's 5-1 win, Kyle Tucker had a 2-run double.

    So... uh...

    Lupe Chavez, who the Astros acquired from the Blue Jays for Scott Feldman, retired yesterday.

    Greatest minor leaguer in Astros history? Didn't give up a single run in his entire Astros career.

    That doesnt make sense. If he pitched 4.1 innings then he would have had to inherit a runner way before the 10th inning.

    Nevermind, I got it. Someone else came in and let his run score.

    Interesting. I didn't know he was such an accomplished college pitcher.

    I'm sure if his career as a stud hitter never materializes, he will give pitching a try. His stuff was legit and draft worthy on it's own.

    However, there's no need to resort to gimmickry at this point. He's still a hitter, and he needs to concentrate fully on that aspect so he can hopefully turn into an everyday starter.

    Not shaping up to be a banner day in the system.

    - Buies Creek got smacked 7-1 in Winston-Salem
    - Corpus is trailing their home opener 6-0 in the 5th to Arkansas
    - Quad Cities trails Kane County 4-0 in the 8th... but they have the bases loaded with nobody out
