We took a look at the guys that were on our prospect list last year, to see which ones should move up or down on the list, now let's take a look at guys that weren't on last year's list and maybe could be this year. We'll look at the guys in that were in Triple and Double-A today and look at the possible prospects from A-ball tomorrow. Brian Dopirak : Last year, when we put together the list, Dopirak...

Continuing the 'do as little as possible' mode that the Jays are in at the moment, they have called up David Purcey , Jeremy Accardo and Kyle Phillips . They moved Shawn Marcum from the 15 to the 60 day DL to make room for Phillips on the 40 man roster. Moving Marcum doesn't cost them anything as he wasn't going to pitch this season so it doesn't matter which list he is on. Purcey will likely fill...

As the season winds down in the minors the affiliates won two of five games last night. Las Vegas won on the strength of a one hit-around inning while some of Auburn�s bats came to life, at least temporarily. Meanwhile, Lansing and Dunedin both lost by two and the Fisher Cats lost a tough game. Players with the initials A and M turned in the two best performances on the farm. Fresno 8 @ Las...

Four wins in six tries for the affiliates. But you'll have to read the details to believe some of the stuff that went on. Reno 0 Las Vegas 9 David Purcey took the hill for the 51s and was his usual wild self.......wait, what? He pitched a shutout ?! And how. Purcey went the distance on three hits and no walks with five strikeouts. It took just 106 pitches to dispatch of the Aces, a total Purcey usually...

The GCL Blue Jays won in extras thanks to a wild eleventh inning. Meanwhile, Las Vegas won a rare 1-0 game with a four-man shutout. New Hampshire lost and Dunedin split their doubleheader because of a Tampa grand slam in the first game, but won the second on a three-run triple by Eric Thames. Auburn and Lansing won by the same 3-1 score with key relief being provided by Mathew Morgal and Jason Roenicke,...

If it wasn't for the second game in a GCL double-header, the affiliates would have scored progressively fewer runs as you descend the minor league ladder. So what I'm saying is, stop reading after Dunedin. Las Vegas 9 at Salt Lake 8 The 51s did a pretty good job of scoring throughout the game, and yet they were behind from the bottom of the 1st until the top of the 8th when they broke through for 3...

Honestly, this was depressing to read and write about. Absolutely nothing of note went on for the affiliates as they picked up one win in five tries. I'm just writing out the string at this point. Las Vegas 5 Salt Lake 6 Kevin Howard , Buck Coats , and Jason Lane each had two hits for the 51s while Aaron Mathews drove in a pair. J.P. Arencibia was 0-for-3 but did manage a walk. Davis Romero started...

Two wins, two losses, and two rain outs. It's all sussed out below. Las Vegas 3 Salt Lake 8 First the good news: Three relievers combined to shutout the Bees over the final 8.1 frames. Now the bad: Fabio Castro coughed up 8 runs in his 0.2 innings of work. That's pretty much all there is to this one. Castro surrendered 8 hits and a walk while retiring just two guys. Things were pretty much sealed at...

Two wins in seven games. It seems relatively typical for the way things are going right now with this organization. One of the wins came in Las Vegas behind David Purcey and the other came behind a big night at the plate for Lansing. Tim Collins took a rare loss in New Hampshire and Dunedin lost a twin bill. Meanwhile, Auburn suffered another loss and the GCL Blue Jays fell apart in extra innings....

Las Vegas had 19 hits in their win. Angel Sanchez had three of them and 7 RBI's including a grand slam. Sanchez has been hot recently with the bat, hot streak or new level of performance? Time will tell. Dunedin as a team had three hits but still won on a Jesus Gonzalez home run. Lansing and the GCL Jays both lost in extra innings. Las Vegas 4 Omaha 8 Las Vegas jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead. They...

New Hampshire found their bats and scored early and often to reverse their lack of hitting in the previous two games. Dunedin won behind good pitching by Chuck Huggins and a home run from John Tolisano. Auburn also won in a group effort. GCL Jays lost a squeeker but Las Vegas and Lansing were easy losers. Las Vegas 4 Omaha 8 Omaha led 2-1 after five but then TJ Beam, who had started, hit a wall, and...

The affiliates won both games that went into extra innings but lost every game that didn�t. Fabio Castro and Scott Gracey turned in strong starts while Henderson Alvarez did not. Andrew Liebel took another loss despite not pitching too badly. Brian Dopirak had a forgettable night while two fast-rising relievers pitched scoreless innings. However, the biggest story may have been in New Hampshire...

Brian Dopirak had a big day at the plate for Las Vegas and Aaron Mathews had a couple of key hits as Las Vegas squeaked by Salt Lake. New Britain dropped both games of a doubleheader. There were also victories by Dunedin, Lansing and the GCL Blue Jays, as Auburn lost again. Salt Lake 7 @ Las Vegas 8 � Boxscore Randy Ruiz had a rare off-day at the plate, with an 0-5, but his year-to-date is still...
