AFL Update: Drew Storen Kinetoscope...

Drew Storen - 11/2/09 vs Surprise Rafters.

It was a Washington Nationals'/Phoenix Desert Dogs' reliever taking the loss again tonight in AFL action, as, (two days after Drew Storen's BS/L Saturday in the Arizona Fall League's Rising Star Showcase), right-hander Josh Wilkie, on Monday, blows a two-run D-Dogs' lead in the seventh, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks while throwing 28 pitches, 13 for strikes and recording only two outs before being replaced on the mound by fellow DC prospect Jeff Mandel who gets a quick groundout to end the inning in what had been a 2-0 Phoenix shutout of Peoria, AZ's second-favorite team, the Javelinas...

...Mandel ends up throwing 1.1 scoreless, holding it close as the Desert Dogs rally for a run in the top of the eighth, but the Seattle Mariners' right-hander Anthony Varvaro closes it out for Peoria with a quick 1-2-3 ninth for the 4-3 Javelinas' win...NOTES: DC 1B prospect Chris Marrero ended the night 2 for 4 with a run scored and his 18th AFL RBI in 17 games and 70 AB's over which he's collected 25 hits for a .357 AVG with 6 doubles, 3 HR's, a .418 OBP, .571 SLG and a .989 OPS...Nationals' SS of the Future Danny Espinosa and Potomac's favorite backstop Sean Rooney were a combined 0 for 8, dropping Rooney's AVG unprintably low, while Espinosa's dipped to .328 after 17 G and 64 AB's.

Repeats what we’ve heard…Riggles and February 14 are the finalists. The fact that the Nats want a cheap manager is troubling. Also troubling is that last part where they say they need a patient manager who will be able to handle all the losing while the Nats rebuild. UGH

"...going through a rebuilding process."..........."...going through a rebuilding process"?!?!?!?...........

WHAT??……..Is that what Plan X is called now??

Is Strasburg starting today?

I notice that while Wednesday’s probables are up, there is still no starting pitcher listed for today’s PDD game. Are they waiting to see if Strasburg is ok this morning?

If he starts today, he may get up to three more starts total: 11/10, 11/16, and 11/21. Of course, that last one requires the Desert Dogs to get back in gear and win some more games, but if it happens, we’d finally get to see him on TV for the first time since the Virgina game.

Btw, thanks for all the pics. Still jealous of you.

Thanks Roscoe !!

I’m hoping they draft the kid out of LSU the pitcher. He sounds interesting and than they’ll have the bucks to go crazy in the later rounds.

I think one of Harper's problems is going to be the level if competition...

Strasburg played for a legit college program and there were still ?‘s aboot if he’d make the transition…Harper’s going to play against Junior college kids…

Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

I agree.

I trust Rizzo to make the best pick.

I can’t wait till there’s a slotting system that works. All these kids would be signed as soon as they were drafted. Then you get your money when you prove yourself.
