Nido is 0 for his last 10, and is not playing as often to conserve his health.

High-A is more Delgado’s speed.

• Kenny Hernandez 3B 0 for 3, K .227/.300/.341
• Ranfy Adon CF 2 for 4, K .188/.289/.265

Hernandez and Adon have both had rough years, but you should keep a close eye on them as they climb the ladder. Both have some big potential. Rough day at the office for the pitchers, so i’m going to skip that.

DSL Pirates 5, DSL Mets1 4 (41-26) Box Score <—-Game was postponed the day before in the 5th inning

• Edinson Valdez RF 2 for 3, 2B .311/.363/.383

Gimenez was pulled in the bottom of the 2nd, doubt we’ll see why. Valdez is having a decent year, and his power should develop as climbs the system.

• Ivan Santana LHP 6 IP, 3 H, ER, 4 BB, 7 K 1.89 ERA

Santana throws in the mid-90’s but hasn’t been taken stateside, he’s an older arm feasting on younger competition.
