So not really sure what went on with the GCL Cardinals…they don’t have a score up and since they don’t have a website, well, I dunno.
- Mike McCoy went 2-for-3 with a HR.
- Rick Ankiel went 0-for-4 with 2Ks.
- Rico Washington went 2-for-3 with a triple and a HR.
- How the Redbirds won, I’m not sure. Rico Washinton had 2 errors, Rick Ankiel had an error and Ryan Christianson had 2 errors as well.
- Mike Pairisi went 6 innings with 5 hits 2 BBs allowing 3 runs. He also struck out 3 but was denied the win.
- Lambert picked up the win allowing a hit and striking out a batter in a scoreless 7th.
- Troy Percival struck out the side in the 8th.
- Brian Falkenborg picked up the save with a scoreless 9th.
- Jarrett Hoffpauir is on a roll. He went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles. He’s hitting .342 in the last 10 games.
- Catcher Danilo Sanchez struck out in all three at bats.
- Jaime Garcia took the loss despite a nice outing. He went 5.1 IP allowing 2 ER with 6 hits, 1BB and 6 Ks.
- Kyle McClellan new to springfield went 1.2 innings striking out 2.
- Nick Webber allowed 2 hits in 1.2 scoreless innings allowing 2 hits.
- Dan Nelson and Allen Craig went 4-for-5. Nelson had a double and Craig had a HR.
- Ian Church went 3-for-4 with 2 doubles.
- PJ Walters had a monster outing. He allowed 2 solo HRs over 7 IP while striking out 10. 4 hits and 1 BB accounts for a dominant outing.
- Matthew Trent finished the game off with 2 scoreless innings allowing 2 hits. He had a 5GO:1AO ratio.
- Wilmer Alvarado went 2-for-4.
- Daryl Jones went 1-for-3 with a walk.

- Eddie Degerman struck out 5 in 4 IP. He was a little wild allowing 4 runs and 2 hits but no runs.

- How good a pair have Degerman and Garceau been for QC this year.

Question about Garceau, I know he’s been one of those guys that could be considered a serious prospect, but I was curious about his repertoire and if you think he can be anything?
Ryan,
I’ve seen Garceau, I fully believe he has a major league arm. he throws in the 92-94 range, good change up that’s about 10-13 MPH slower with sink, and he threw a decent curve. I was very impressed from what I saw from him.
Awesome. I’m trying to keep a lot of these young arms in order. Tyler Herron was given a vote of recommendation by Keith Law, and then there’s Degerman with the funky delivery and Garceau. Are those the best pitchers of A/A+?
I’d personally rank the arms of A/A+
1. Ottavino
2. Herron
3. Garceau
4. Degerman
5. Norrick
I know a lot of people are pretty high on Norrick, Kevin Goldstein included. Throws 91-93 fastball and is a lefty who can get ground balls, so maybe he belongs higher.
I’ve seen Degerman, here’s some pics i snapped of his delivery http://futureredbirds.com/2007/05/05/johnny-on-the-spot-i-was-at-the-swingkernels-game/
I think he has a big league curveball, but he’ll have to rely on good control throughout his career because from what I saw in his fastball left a lot to be desired.
Herron throws 3 pitches, sinker, change, curve…All 3 pitches are above average.
Jarrett Hoffpauir is Mark Loretta-ing his way to a callup. That’s not a comp, just what his numbers look like right now.
Speaking of, I remember when our only real hitting bright spots in the low minors were Hoff and Cody Haerther. Any word on how far he is from a return? BP lists his #3 and #6 comps as Andre Ethier and Adam LaRoche.
