Reports for the few players left in our minor league system:

Columbus wins 5-4. Jason Donald bids farewell at last to AAA with double, single and 310 average. Jared Head who may never got away double and homers and bats in 3. 28 year old with 16 homers.
Duncen with 3 walks. First round draft choice (all of whom go on to great things) Beau Mills who finally reached AAA a couple weeks ago 0-4 with 3K, hitting 130. Corey Kluber, picked up last year when we were sellers, with what for him is a great start:
6 8 3 2 1 8. Talbot 2 shutout innings. Judy a sloppy 1-run 9th.

I guess Austin Adams moves to our better starting prospects now, although most people say he'd be better as yet another reliver. Matt Packer surprise of 2010, flop of 2011, has had a terrific recent stretch of starts. DelaCruz hasn't pitched very well since return from surgery in 2010 and is back on the DL now. Just trying to think of any prospects left in the organization, which had few before yesterday and many fewere now.

OK so here are a few but they're all far away from Cleveland, albeit not geographically, in Eastlake. Felix Sterling 5 1/3 innings, 2 runs, on 5 hits, 6 K, 3 walks, was #12 preseason, and has recently arrived from the Arizona League. Giovanny Urshela was BA #30 prospect due to potential gold glove defense; had been hitting well in July, singled and doubled yesterday, but still in the 240s. Luigi Rodriguez is human after all, went hitless for 3 in his 3rd Midwest League game. And a personal favorite longshot CarlosMoncrief singled and stole his 17th base.

this year's 5th rounder Will Roberts will find it easy to fit into our prospect list considering the lack of competition. He worked 5 shutout innings for the Scrappers, 5 K, 1 walk, 3 hits. It appears that only one of the two catchers here can hit well at a time. Lavisky 0-5 with 3 K slips back below 200. Jake Lowrey 2 singles, and a double, and a walk, u to 273. Wolters -0-5 2K. Jordan Smith, 3B, hitting in the the mid 300's is out; as still is Bryson Myles OF who stole 10 bases in a couple dozen games.
