If anyone's curious

Ex-Brewer Claudio Vargas had a rocky debut for the AAA New Orleans Zephyrs. Brady Clark is 1-7 with 2 BB through two games with the same club.

Kevin Mench is doing his best imitation of last year’s season, except now he’s doing it at AAA. Nelson Cruz is tearing up the same league, though.

Former pitching prospect Ben Hendrickson has a 2-2 record and a 2.93 ERA in six games with the AAA Durham Bulls, but he also has walked 15 and only struck out 10 in 27.2 IP. To make everyone sad, I should point out that William Inman is doing okay for the AA San Antonio Missions.

Sadly

The Crabbe Man is not doing very well in San Diego, off to a .185 average. On the plus side, four of his five hit were in his last 13 ABs.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Did I mention

that his OPS against RHP is a robust .358 (.200 OBP, .158 SLG)?

Steve Garrison had another not-so-great outing yesterday; looks like he’s coming back to earth.

He's extremely quick and good.

He's the round mound of profound
