Final Fall League Update
That’s it, another season in the books down in the Arizona Fall League, and a relatively productive one for the former BlueClaws that took part. Here’s how they did (parentheses refers to year with Lakewood)…First the hitters…
- OF Domonic Brown (2008): .229, 2 HRs, 18 RBIs, 9 doubles…finished 0-20, dropping his final average from .276…headed to Lehigh Valley to open 2010, perhaps his final season in the minors
- C Tuffy Gosewisch (2007): .318 (14-44), 0 HRs, 5 RBIs…Ready to catch every day with Lehigh Valley next year
- SS Troy Hanzawa (2009): 2-25, 0 HRs, 3 RBIs…tough when you’re only active one day a week as Troy was.
- OF Steve Susdorf (2009): 11-55, 2 HRs, 6 RBIs…lefty will be in either Reading or Lehigh Valley when baseball opens next year
And the pitchers…
- Michael Cisco (2008): 1-2, 3.38, 18.2 IP, 14 H, 8 BB, 13 K…A nice fall for the 2008 draftee…allowed four of his seven earned runs in second outing, and gave up just three earned runs over his last 14.2 innings pitched
- Edgar Garcia (2007): 2-2, 5.29, 17 IP, 23 H, 4 BB, 10 K…Continues to throw strikes and wasn’t a bad ending to a strange year for Garcia that started with visa problems in the Dominican Republic
- Scott Mathieston (2004): 0-0, 2.84, 12.2 IP, 10 H, 8 BB, 15 K…Began with 7.2 scoreless innings…off of second Tommy John Surgery…is on the 40-man roster and he’ll have an outside shot to make big league club out of camp
- Michael Schwimer (skipped Lakewood): 0-0, 4.26, 12.2 IP, 12 H, 8 BB, 8 K…Like Mathieson, too many walks, but like Susdorf and Cisco, just his second year in pro baseball, which ended with Double-A Reading. Part of a promising bullpen prospect group for the Phillies
