ABL HAPPENINGS:
8/17:

Tony Delgado (SF) fanned 11 walked 4 and allowed just 3 hits in a CG 1-0 win over Green Bay. Blizzard SP Jamie Crone went 8 IP 1 ER in the loss.
Mike Fox (PHX) held Buffalo to 6 hits and kept them off the scoreboard in a 6-0 Roadrunner win. He's 8-9 3.07, pitching with horrid luck this year. He was 15-9 3.46 in his 1st season with Phoenix and the 32-year-old has punched out 153 in 167 innings.

8/18:

Brendon Biernacki (BUF) continues his run at Tomohiro Masuda's single-season K this time with Masuda actually on the mound against him. He punched out 15 Lexington Rebels and beat Masuda 5-4 to go 14-7 2.59 and up his total to 322 in 208.1 IP. Biernacki walked to the dugout after the top of the 9th down 4-2 but Ricky Gutierrez's 3R walk off HR with 2 outs made him the winner.
The Brooklyn Blackhearts are 8 games up on Philadelphia in the PL Metro Division so the news that MVP candidate Ben Davis would miss 2 weeks wasn't as big a blow as it might have been. The 28-year-old is hitting .324-26-108. He was the 3rd place finisher in 2014 for the Babe Ruth award and last year won the Division series and LCS MVP awards.

8/20:

24-year-old Jim Duffy (MEX) shut down San Francisco on 6 singles and struck out 6 to move to 9-11 4.18 in the 3-0 win.
Jack Terhune (DAL) went 5-6 in an 8-5 loss to Charlotte. He hit 4 1B and a 2B and drove in 2.

8/21:

Former Rustler Pat Madison (BUF) fanned 8 and walked 3 to beat Providence 5-0 and got 8-11 5.23 on the year.

RUSTLER NEWS:
8/15:

Francisco Castro was acquired last July from Las Vegas and today tossed a 3-hitter beating the Athens Vandals 3-0. He's 13-7 3.65 in 23 starts at AAA Warren

8/19:

John Stanley pitched AAA Warren to a 3-0 win with a CG while scattering 7 hits to go 10-8 3.69.
Stanley will push for a rotation spot next spring at just 24 years old.

8/16:

I have 6 personnel contracts expiring. Assistant GM Pat Stansifer, Scouting Director Tom Tuff, A and AA pitching coaches and single-A hitting coach and SA Manager.
Salt Lake and Modesto have been putrid, and I want new blood so they will be allowed to walk.
I'm torn on my head scout. Our low minors is horrible and our draft day “heads' appear to be in different places as I have had to overrule on, in my opinion, far too many early picks, and I've managed to nail more than not and his picks have turned out to be bad ones had we made them.
There's a former player, Ian Eller, who is talked about as some sort of 'savant' scouting younger players and that's what I want. I have actually made him an offer and if he accepts I will have to let Tuff go. Hard to imagine in a season going so well but for a team that's looking to set all kinds of records there's not a ton of homegrown talent on the 25 man and our lower minors (where scouts 'reputations' are made and lost) is and has been putrid.

BACKROOM CHATTER
Sam Reyes has approached me for an extension. I am amicable to listening and if the talks are reasonable would love to get it done.
I did the +/- argument
+

Outstanding player when healthy. .265/.384/.451 slash over 563 games. 110 2B 15 3B 82 HR 273 RBI 119-165 SB and pretty much a guaranteed 3.5 WAR or better each year.
Popular in the clubhouse, locally, and nationally.
Good team guy
Very good defensive player at SS and 2B.
Showed himself to be a clutch post-season hitter.

“When he's healthy” isn't just a catchphrase. He's never played more than 121 games and played 100+ just twice in 5 full seasons. Playing 94, 97, and 98 the other 3 years.
Mike Davis, our top prospect acquired via trade with Lexington just over a month ago, is penciled in at SS, he plays nowhere else. He's ready now but barring injury (which isn't a stretch here) he's going to be held back until next spring and the plan will be to open up with him at SS.
That means Joe Tighe will need to move. He of the newly signed 7 year 91.6 million dollar extension.
Xavier Feliciano is ready now too. He's the heir apparent to Luis Orozco at 3B and like Davis is penciled in to open next year as our 3B.
That means Joe Tighe will HAVE to move to 2B. That leaves a man out, and it's likely that man will be Sam Reyes.
Initial talks had him asking for a 5-7 year 14+ million dollar deal. Not many guys are worth that annually and a guy that can't post up 100 games a year is absolutely not one of those guys. I went back and forth but he wasn't budging nearly enough to continue talks.
I meant what I said earlier, I want to keep the core together and Tighe, Archer, Orozco, and Reyes were that core IF. But I won't overspend to make that happen, certainly not when there is elite talent available at the league minimum.
