HR- Deal (3)

Derek Dames has a strained rib cage that looks to be a 1-2 week thing. He isn't asking for the IL, he wants to play, but the safe play is to not push it. The bigger question is do we insert Deal or Pedraza at SS and call up another IF or summon prospect AJ Lanigan from AA where he is tearing it up (.282/.368/.466)? he's ready, and the best defender of the 3.
The decision is to give Pedraza the AB's, add, and call up, SS Carlos Davila from New Orleans and promote Lanigan to New Orleans.
Carlos Davia is a 26 year old ++ defender up the middle. Nothing fancy with the bat, decent wheels but a dirt dog who plays all out. He's the best defensive 2B in the organization. He was a minor league FA signing back in our first year of existence. A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, he's a RHH as well. He'll get some starts vs LHP.

8/19- NE 8 CIP 2 Sainsbury (L) 3 IP 2 ER 5 K came out with a tight back in the 4th. Guzman came out in the 8th with a back issue as well. Cho 3H 2 2B (31) Pedraza E (3)
HR- NE Hart (4)

Both guys are not needing the IL but both are about a week or so from being ok. I''ll hold off on Sainsbury but with a 15 game lead I am going to put Guzman on the IL. This is a great opportunity to see our organization's depth.
John Tite will be recalled. Tite, who's calling card is power, is hitting .280/.372/.549 with 22 HR and 57 RBI at New Orleans and had a super September last year when called up (.302/.348/.558 3 HR 7 RBI). Matt Chiquete will take over in CF.
In a remarkable performance, San Diego Missions starter Juan Laurel beat the Los Angeles Storm, 6-0, in an impressive 6-hit shutout. "My arm felt good, mechanics were good and my stuff was working," he said later. "It doesn't get any better than this." The Missions hurler finished with 5 strikeouts and 1 walk. He showed pinpoint control and a sharp fastball. "It was a rough one for my guys," Los Angeles manager Edwin Perez said, following the game. "We weren't at our best and their guy was."
This year, Laurel has made 28 starts, thrown 225 innings, fanned 235 batters and walked 48. His won-lost record is 13-7 with a 2.60 ERA.

Goose eggs were the order of the day for the San Diego Missions as starter Zach McMillion shut them out, 8-0, at Jets Park. The Fresno pitcher struck out 7 and walked 0 while allowing 4 hits. "McMillion was good but he wasn't flawless," San Diego manager Bob O'Halloran said. "We had a few opportunities to make something happen and we didn't do it. Not to take anything away from Fresno, but this is on us." So far this year, McMillion has a 12-12 record with a 3.55 ERA.

LEAGUE HIGHLIGHTS
AL POTW- Kenny Andrew has the tools to stick in this league for many years. The 24-year-old first baseman of the Columbus Black Knights had a hot bat in the American League over the past seven days and won the Player of the Week honors.
Andrew batted .565 with 13 hits in 23 at-bats, 3 home runs and 7 RBIs.
This season, Andrew has posted a batting average of .345 with 164 hits in 475 at-bats, 45 home runs and 103 RBIs. He has also scored 100 runs, walked 93 times and compiled a .454 OBP.
NL POTW- Ricky Ramirez of the Jacksonville Panthers has just enjoyed one of the better weeks of his career. That fact was not lost on National League officials, who named him Player of the Week.
Ramirez logged a .417 batting average for the Jacksonville Panthers, racking up 11 RBIs and 3 home runs.
So far this season, Ramirez is batting .272 with 27 home runs, 79 RBIs and 81 runs scored. He has 120 hits in 441 at-bats, 85 walks and a .389 OBP. Ramirez has played in 123 games.

Jim Bruckner of the Wyoming Cowboys pitched his way into the exclusive 300-save club today at Racersdome by saving the 3-2 victory over the Dallas Drillers. In his historic outing, he surrendered no runs and no hits in 1 innings. "Yeah, it can be a stressful job sometimes," the 31-year-old Bruckner told reporters after the game. "But there's a thrill that comes with being out there in a big situation every time. Hopefully I can close out a few more before I call it a career." Bruckner has notched 300 saves during his career.

The latest out of Washington indicates that Nick Grieshop has re-signed with the Jets and that the 30-year-old starting pitcher is set to earn $54,000,000 over a 6-year span. Team officials tell BNN the deal will be officially announced at a press conference tomorrow. This year, Grieshop has compiled a 11-6 mark with a 2.75 ERA in 27 starts. Nick was acquired from OKC in a January deal and is 109-99 3.64 over 328 G and 265 GS. He was the 2nd overall pick in the 2003 Draft out of Rochester HS in Washington.

IRON PIG NEWS

Dan Williams was dynamite at Tarpons Stadium, blowing away the Deering Counts in a shutout victory. The Milwaukee Hawks (AA) starter had everything working as he held the Counts to 2 hits in the 5-0 win. "He was pure nasty out there today," said Deering skipper Gabe Davidson. "I don't think any team in the league would've had a chance against what he was bringing." Williams finished the game with 7 strikeouts and no walks. This year, Williams has registered 4 wins and 3 losses in 10 starts with a 5.06 ERA while registering 44 strikeouts and 24 walks in 64 innings. Williams was Chicago's 3rd round pick in 2011 (86th overall).

On Thursday Knuckleballer Jonathan Bailey (A) tossed a CG allowing 8 hits and fanning 2 in a 7-2 win. He's 8-8 4.61.
