Fall/Winter League Update for 11/27/2009

It's been a week since I've done one of these, so all stats are from Friday-present, unless otherwise noted.

In Arizona: Jonathan Lucroy went 1-for-4 and scored a run and Zach Braddock pitched a scoreless inning of relief, allowing two hits and striking out the side, as the Javelinas came from behind to beat Phoenix 5-4, winning the AFL Championship.

In Venezuela:

  • Alcides Escobar has gone 5-for-21 with two doubles, three walks, two RBI and three runs scored for Lara.
  • After sitting out nearly a week, Hernan Iribarren returned to the lineup on Tuesday and has gone 2-for-9 with four strikeouts and two stolen bases since then.

In the Dominican Republic:

  • Erick Almonte has gone 8-for-22 over the last week with a double, a home run and eight walks, scoring three runs and driving in four. He's now reached base safely in 20 consecutive games, and his .462 OBP overall is the second best in the DWL.
  • Carlos Gomez has a hit in each of his last four games, going 8-for-15 with a double, a home run, a walk and a stolen base. He also scored four runs (he's scored a run in five straight games) and drove in five.
  • Juan Sandoval pitched an inning on Saturday, allowing a run on three hits and a walk.

In Mexico: David Welch has made two starts in the last week, picking up two losses as he allowed seven runs on 15 hits in 9.2 innings, walking four and striking out three. He allowed three home runs in his five innings of work last night.

In Puerto Rico:

  • Martin Maldonado went 1-for-9 with a walk for Mayaguez.
  • Hiram Burgos started on Wednesday and went 4.2 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out two.

David Welch

I wonder how many years he’s played winter ball. Does he ever head back to Australia?

Yeah, and the innings load is pretty impressive too.

I seem to recall him making a dozen or so starts last winter, and he’s on pace to make about that many again this winter. Assuming he’s averaging 5.1 innings per start, which is what he averaged in the minors over the last two years, that would mean he’s thrown 393.2 innings since Opening Day 2008.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Or will have thrown, I guess

Assuming he makes the rest of his starts in Mexico

200 innings per year

Spread out over more than the usual six month season.

Right

That’s a lot more than the usual AA starting pitcher probably throws.

I wonder about innings though

For all the emphasis put on how hard it is to throw 200 innings, with spring/summer/fall seasons a lot of amatuers do that easily. I realize there’s less stress on those arms but a pitcher like Brad Schreiber can throw 80 innings total in the spring high school season, another 80 in summer leagues, all-star games and showcases, and then another 40 or 50 in fall ball and scrimmages. I don’t think that’s really a cause for concern.

E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
