In week 4 we had just another ordinary week. We went a subpar 3-4 this week, but there were a few promising signs. However, there was also a huge loss. Delmon Young, our star rookie, damaged the meniscus in his knee and will now be out for 8 weeks. That paved the way for Evan Longoria to come back to the majors who started to re-discover his stroke in AAA. Since coming up he's only 1-7, but has the ball hard the other way and his only hit was his second homer of the year. Scott Kazmir also had a good week. His record was 1-1, but his ERA was 1.69. Another promising thing in his line for 2 starts were he only allowed 2 walks in 16 innings. Control has been a problem all year. Besides from watching all of our games this week. I also took a trip down to Clemson University and Naval Academy to get a first hand look at potential top picks. Pitcher, Ivan Garcia from Clemson went 4 and 2 thirds fanning 2 and allowed 2 runs. He reached back all the way to hit 96 MPH and did a great job locating his pitchers, keeping the ball low and away much of the time. It was probably his worst start of the year, and Don Langley's performance against Stanford wasn't great either. Langley went 1-4 with an RBI, but 3 left on base. Next week I'm off to Seton Hall to watch outfielder Micah Marshall and Binghamton to watch breakout shortstop, Nate Webster.
