Arizona Fall League Wrap Up

Fun in the sun

The Arizona Fall League has finished up their short season. The Sox affiliate, the Peoria Saguaros finished dead last.

Here are how the Sox farmhands performed:

Josh Fields - 23 games, .317/.489/.256 (OBP, SLG, AVG), 5 HRs, 16 RBIs, 44 TB in 90 at-bats
Chris Young - 24 games, .326/.410/.253, 34 TB in 83 at-bats
Corwin Malone - 1-3, 8.27 ERA is 20 2/3rds I, 20 Ks, 15 walks
Paulino Reynoso - 1-0, 8.47 ERA in 17 IP, 14 Ks, 16 walks
Sean Tracey - 1-1, 7.16 ERA in 16 and 1/3rd IP, 11 Ks, 7 walks

I know those ERAs look high, but keep in mind the lowest ERA on the team was 4.05. Most guys were well above 5...

and...
Robert Valido - 13 games, .317/.383/.283 in 60 at-bats. Valido must have left the league early.. not sure why.

***EDIT**

I almost forgot Pedro Lopez. In just 6 gamesin the AFL, he collected 9 hits in 24 at-bats, 3 of them doubles, and he drove in 3 runs.

Also, a big congratulations to my old pal, Ned Colletti, who was named GM of the LA Dodgers today, replacing Paul "Moneyball" DePodesta. I worked with Ned a bit back in the early 1990s and he was always a real nice, classy guy. Its good to see one of the good guys get a gig like that. Go Dodgers!
