    Delgado (the tall pitcher in the 2nd post) struck out 4 of the 6 batters he faced today before the game was called due to lightning. The other batters were a ground ball double and a pop out. He's struck out 45% of hitters he's faced, has a 68% GB rate, >50% of his flyballs have been caught by infielders, and he has surrendered only 1 line drive on the season. Only real knocks on him are walks (13%) and the fact that he hasn't racked up a ton of innings.

    Fangraphs should drop their Astros list sometime this week, I hope they give some insight into some of these DSL guys.

    Jackson Nezuh pitched a rehab assignment in the FCL this morning. Gave up a HR to Elijah Green (remember when he was going to be a superstar?) Walked one and struck out 2 over 1.2 innings. It's good to see that he's pitching again, as he was one of the pitchers I was most excited to see progress this year. He had pretty good peripherals in the 8 AA games before going on the IL.

    20 year old Mexican pitcher Jesus Carrera struck out 4 in 2.1 perfect innings. That's 19 Ks to 2 walks in 11 innings with a 0.00 ERA. He was pretty good in the FCL last year too, not sure why he hasn't gotten a chance at Fayetteville yet.

    Esmil Valencia has two stolen bases so far for Fayetteville to give him an organization-leading 39 on the season. Joseph Sullivan is 2nd with 32.

    Looks like Zach Greinke post Dodgers. He hides the ball extremely well up until release which allows his fastball to play a bit stronger.

    Deceptive is a great thing if you can also locate.
