Bobby Bradley hits a double and homer tonight. The home run was a real mammoth shot. He has a 6 game hit streak now, 2 homers in those games.

Not quite here yet tho ...

I looked at Bradley's numbers and one bad one stands out: 47 K in about 140 plate appearances; throw in another 23 walks and the 8 homers and his pct of at bats where defenders have nothing to do is about 55%

Yesterday's game hightlights from BA:

CLE AA Wolters, Tony C 4 1 1 0 .229
CLE AAA Lindor, Francisco SS 5 0 3 0 .279 2B (11) [ready??]
CLE AAA Moncrief, Carlos LF 4 0 1 0 .179 BB (28)
CLE AAA Naquin, Tyler CF 5 0 2 1 .455 2B (1), BB (1), SB (1)
CLE AAA Ramsey, James PH-DH 2 1 1 0 .233 2B (12)
CLE HiA Frazier, Clint RF 5 2 3 1 .262 2B (14)
CLE HiA Rodriguez, Nellie 1B 5 0 2 2 .271 [shot for the Hot Prospect List; another Homer tonight would help]
CLE HiA Zimmer, Bradley CF 4 1 1 0 .309 2B (11), SB (24) [Akron-bound any day now]
CLE LoA Bradley, Bobby 1B 4 1 2 3 .264 2B (3), HR (8)

CLE AA Plutko, Adam 7 4 1 1 1 1 1.59 W (2-0) [sometimes he picks up more strikeouts, but so are he's consistent at not giving up runs]
CLE AAA Armstrong, Shawn 2 1 0 0 0 3 3.80 W (1-2)
CLE HiA Brown, Mitch 7.1 1 0 0 4 5 5.37 W (2-6) [it's about time he had a start like this; Mitch tends to start slowly at each new level, so perhaps he's coming into his own]
CLE MAJ Adams, Austin 2 5 3 2 0 1 2.38

Civ:

You're right about Bradley, and as you know, it is the sort of thing I would usually beat up a guy for too. But I'm being a little more patient with Bradley cause he started off the season hurt and doing terrible. Seems like as the season has gone on he has just continued to get a little better. So considering his big power potential I'm going to reserve judgement on him for a while. I still like him.

I'm OK with a big slugger warts and all. Aguillar has developed more warts than talent. Nellie Rod is coming along well in High A at age 20. Bradley even more of a slugger and on last year's form has the highest ceiling of the three.

Don't have a sense we drafted any power bats this year, or is there someone down in the lower rounds? Rodriguez was a 15th round pick.

Nelly Rodriguez celebrated his 22nd birthday in style yesterday, by hitting a homer.

3 Tribe farm-hands complete their solid resumes for the Hot Prospect List:

Cody Anderson's 2 starts of the week, his first two in AAA yield a combined line of: 14-10-2-2-1-15 1.43 WHIP .79
Nellie Rodriguez doubled and homered and batted in 3. For the week: 30-7-12-11 (3 2b, 1 3b, 3 hr) .400/.419/.833 [9k]
Bobby Bradley matched NRod with his 9th homer [added his 8th E]. His week: 23-6-9-6 (1 2b, 1 3b, 3 hr) .391/417/913 [8k]

All the teams won, some other impressive lines:

Lake County: Paulino-- single, double, walk; Mejia -- 2 singles
Lynchburg: Luigi Rodriguez--- single, 2 doubles; Papi--- 2 singles, 2 doubles, up to .218 [new patter: either no hits or 3+]
Akron: Gonzalez-- 2 singles
Columbus: Aguillar--2 singles; Ramsey-- single and double

Dace Kime at Lynchburg: 6-3-1-1-4-5

CLE HiA Kime, Dace 6 3 1 1 4 4 4.55 W (2-2)

Really nice to see Papi improving. I was high on him when we selected him.

at this point he's a tall singles and doubles hitter. Has yet to launch a home run. I guess the power comes later.

Tony Wolters hasn't mastered AA pitching, but he's getting rave reviews for his defense. 55% caught stealing after 47% last year. No errors to date of latest report in BA. "Also shown an excellent ability to quietly receive pitches, earning some extra strikes for his pitchers"
