Around the Farm: April 17

Written by Al Ciammiachella
  • Corey Kluber, SP-COL: W (3-0), 6 IP, ER, 6 H, 7 K, BB. Kluber has been one of the better pitchers in the org so far this season, posting a 2.81 ERA and recording an eye-popping 25 K in 16 IP. He's started three games, winning all three, and his control has been better this year as he's allowed just 6 BB.
  • C.C. Lee, RP-COL: 1 2/3 IP, BB. In what can only be described as a shocking performance, Lee faced 6 batters last night and didn't strike out any of them. I hope he's feeling ok.
  • Matt LaPorta, 1B-COL: 1-3, BB, R, K. Back in the lineup the last two days after missing a couple of games after he was hit by a pitch, LaPorta is hitting .316/.372/.684 with 4 HR and 7 RBI on the season. My esteemed colleague River Burns penned a nice article on LaPorta yesterday, check it out if you haven't already.
  • Russ Canzler, LF-COL: 2-4, 2B, R. Canzler is off to a slow start, and is now 8-35 in his last 8 games for the Clippers.
  • Matt Pagnozzi, C-COL: 2-2, HR (1), 2B, 2 RBI, BB, 2 R. The veteran catcher is 2nd on the team with 7 RBI on the season, and has come up with several big hits for the Clip Show.
  • T.J. McFarland, SP-AKR: L (2-1), 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 K, 2 BB. Kind of a misleading stat line for McFarland, as two of the runs charged to him scored after he was lifted from the game. They're still "his" runs of course, but there's nothing more frustrating for a pitcher than not being given a chance to clean up your own mess.
  • Chun Chen, 1B-AKR: 2-4, R. Chen is getting hot, as he's now 7 for his last 16 with a pair of doubles.
  • Roberto Perez, C-AKR: 1-3, 2B, K. The defensive whiz has hits in 7 of the 9 games he's played in for the Aeros, and is up to .242/.265/.364 on the season.
  • Jared Goedert, LF-AKR: 2-4, R, K. Goedert has hit in 7 straight, and is 11-24 in that timeframe with a HR and three doubles. He's trying to at least force his way back to Columbus, and is hitting .371/.463/.543 on the year.
  • Clayton Cook, SP-CAR: IP, ER, H, BB. Cook was lifted after facing just 5 hitters in one inning of work, and the Indians and Mudcats have both been silent as to why thus far. Baseball Prospectus' Jason Parks was at the game, and tweeted that Cook's delivery looked off and his fastball velo was just 86, so it looked like he could be hurt. More to follow.
  • Francisco Jimenez, RP-CAR: 3 IP, ER, 3 H, 4 BB. Jimenez came on in relief of Cook and limited the damage for 3 innings.
  • Jesus Aguilar, 1B-CAR: 1-2, 2B, BB. Aguilar just keeps on hitting, and is now at .361/.465/.556 on the season for the Mudcats.
  • Ronny Rodriguez, 2B-CAR: 1-4, 2B, R, 2 K. Interestingly, Rodriguez and Wolters have flipped positions for this series, with Ronny playing 2nd and Wolters manning SS. With top prospect Francisco Lindor considered the SS of the future, I have to think the Indians are keeping their options open to try and get the best possible player at 2B long-term.
  • Bryson Myles, LF-LCC: 1-3, HR (1), RBI, R, K. Myles popped his 1st HR of the season last night, and is now hitting .214/.261/.333 for the Captains. He's 3-3 in stolen base attempts, and has driven in 4 runs.
  • Jordan Smith, RF-LCC: 1-4, 3B, R. Smith has yet to go hitless in a Midwest League game. Three of his last four hits have gone for extra bases (2 3B and a HR).
  • Francisco Lindor, SS-LCC: 1-3, BB, K. The Captains only managed four hits yesterday, but Lindor had one of them. He's "cooled off" a little, but is still hitting .309/.345/.418 on the season.
