Another week, another set of good starts from the studly young pitching. 2. Julio Teheran, Rome. Myrtle Beach Weekly: 13 IP, 12 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 18 K Season: 3-2, 1.10 ERA, 43 H, 2 HR, 14 BB, 77 K He saw what Randall Delgado did and had to one up him, I guess. Mission accomplished. 3. Freddie Freeman, Gwinnett. Weekly: 2/7, 1 R, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 2 K Season: .262/.319/.446, 22 R, 12 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR, 26 RBI, 25 K, 0/1 SB Freeman only played in 2 games this week after sitting out for a little over a week with a knee injury. MRI came back negative, and he's good to go. 4. Christian Bethancourt, Rome. Weekly: 5/21, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI Season: .235/.261/.313, 12 R, 6 2B, 2 HR, 15 RBI, 23 K, 1/1 SB I find it odd he can have a week that essentially does nothing to his stats. But here we are. 5. Mike Minor, Mississippi. Weekly: 8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 11 K Season: 1-4, 3.68 ERA, 47 H, 5 HR, 28 BB, 91 K Minor is one good start away from 100 Ks on the season. This is why wins are stupid: he's got 1. With an ERA under 4.00 and striking out over 12 batters per 9. God I hate that stat. 6. Cody Johnson, Mississippi. Weekly: 1/18, 1 BB, 11 K Season: .213/.283/.420, 20 R, 5 2B, 10 HR, 29 RBI, 78 K, 7/11 SB Consider the white flag waved. His OPS is one bad game away from dropping below .700. This saddens me. 9. JJ Hoover, Myrtle Beach. Weekly: 6 2/3 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 6 K Season: 3-3, 3.48 ERA, 65 H, 3 HR, 13 BB, 47 K Over his last 5 starts, which were all of the quality variety: 3-1, 1.87 ERA, 29:4 K:BB. Wooooooooooooooooow. 11. Brett Oberholtzer, Rome. Myrtle Beach Weekly: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K Season: 2-5, 3.90 ERA, 76 H, 3 HR, 12 BB, 45 K 3 straight quality starts: 14 strikeouts, no walks. The BAA is still high...but yeah, these things regress. He's doing what he's supposed to do with factors he can control. 12. Randall Delgado, Myrtle Beach. Weekly: 6 2/3 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K Season: 2-5, 2.50 ERA, 55 H, 3 HR, 12 BB, 80 K Him and Teheran are going to be going tooth and nail to become the second pitcher in the organization to hit 100 K after Minor. 15. Brett DeVall, Rome Weekly: 7 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K Season: 2-3, 3.55 ERA, 36 H, 1 HR, 6 BB, 19 K DeVall isn't striking anyone out, but the rest of the peripherals are looking great. 16. Cory Gearrin, Gwinnett. Weekly: 4 2/3 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K Season: 0-2, 3.86 ERA, 26 H, 3 HR, 16 BB, 26 K Nice rebound. Its worth noting that he's got a 3.50 GB:FB this season. Stellar mark. 17. Chris Masters, Rome. Weekly: 10 1/3 IP, 13 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 8 K Season: 1-3, 1.88 ERA, 44 H, 4 HR, 18 BB, 60 K Last night was by far his worst start of the season, following up a ho hum effort on Monday. Still awesome! 18. Robinson Lopez, Rome. Weekly: 9 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 4 K Season: 2-3, 3.28 ERA, 38 H, 3 HR, 21 BB, 46 K 2 pretty bad starts for Lopez, making 3 in a row. I don't care. He's 19. 19. Lee Hyde, Mississippi. Weekly: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K Season: 2-1, 1.82 ERA, 23 H, 1 HR, 8 BB, 23 K Can't change my viewpoints after one inning in a week! 20. Jose Ortegano, Myrtle Beach. Gwinnett Weekly: 5 1/3 IP, 11 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 K Season: 4-5, 4.26 ERA, 65 H, 4 HR, 15 BB, 27 K Striking out less than 5 batters per 9. Its hilarious to me... 22. Scott Diamond, Mississippi. Weekly: 11 2/3 IP, 15 H, 8 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 8 K Season: 2-5, 4.45 ERA, 72 H, 3 HR, 27 BB, 62 K Well, the Scott Diamond= insane strikeout pitcher era appears to be over. He's still striking out a batter per inning though...more than solid. 23. Tommy Palica, Mississippi. Weekly: 1 2/3 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K Season: 3-1, 8.25 ERA, 30 H, 2 HR, 13 BB, 37 K Guys with a near 3 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio should NOT have ERAs over 4.00 or so...let alone 8.00. Embarrassing. 24. Brandon Hicks, Gwinnett Weekly: 4/18, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 4 BB, 2 K, 2/2 SB Season: .204/.292/.289, 14 R, 7 2B, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 33 K, 8/13 SB YES, his SLG is lower than his OBP! Just like Chipper...except a hundred points less. 28. Jaye Chapman, Myrtle Beach. Mississippi Weekly: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K Season: 0-3, 4.70 ERA, 23 H, 1 HR, 11 BB, 32 K What I said for Palica goes for Chapman too. 29. Todd Redmond, Gwinnett. Weekly: 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K Season: 5-5, 4.41 ERA, 58 H, 8 HR, 12 BB, 56 K Well thats a pretty nice way to follow up a no hitter...awesome start from Redmond. 2 great starts in a row from Redmond after 5 out 6 that were nightmares. 31. Jeff Lyman, Gwinnett. Weekly: 4 1/3 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 4 K Season: 0-0, 4.71 ERA, 23 H, 2 HR, 21 BB, 20 K He's still got more walks than strikeouts. Do not want. 32. Matt Crim, Myrtle Beach. Weekly: 13 2/3 IP, 15 H, 6 ER, 2 HR, 3 BB, 7 K Season: 3-4, 4.27 ERA, 71 H, 7 HR, 22 BB, 37 K Lots of homers, bad K:BB...yeah. Lovely. 34. Cory Rasmus, Rome. Weekly: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 HR, 1 BB, 5 K Season: 3-3, 2.57 ERA, 43 H, 5 HR, 14 BB, 46 K The homers may become a small issue...but I heart guys who can strike out a batter per inning with good control. 35. David Hale, Rome. Weekly: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 5 BB, 3 K Season: 1-5, 6.63 ERA, 53 H, 1 HR, 20 BB, 28 K At least he doesn't allow homers... 36. Ryne Reynoso, Gwinnett. Mississippi Weekly: 5 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 6 K Season: 0-6, 5.25 ERA, 61 H, 4 HR, 19 BB, 34 K At least he's striking guys out after being converted to the bullpen. 38. Cory Harrilchak, Rome. Myrtle Beach. Rome Weekly: 9/28, 4 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB Season: .272/.345/.351, 21 R, 10 2B, 3 3B, 15 RBI, 24 K, 10/18 SB Harrilchak remains hot for the R-Braves. Still has no power though. 39. Mycal Jones, Rome. Weekly: 12/28, 6 R, 1 2B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1/1 SB Season: .271/.309/.427, 27 R, 12 2B, 6 HR, 33 RBI, 46 K, 6/9 SB Now thats what I'm talking about, despite the lack of walks.
