Puerto Rico Box Score

 

Very exciting that 20-year-old RHP Joshua Torres, who led the Arizona Rookie League in ERA for the Maryvale Brewers this summer, will be making starts in his native Puerto Rico this winter.

 

Kudos to the Brewers for the Torres signing, as he went undrafted (Puerto Rico prospects are draft-eligible). Of course, if Torres was that promising, maybe it would have been wiser to spend a draft pick on him ;).

 

In Tuesday's game, Torres' line -- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 6 K, 1 WP, 1 GB out, 5 fly outs

With a final score of 10-9 (his team won), Joshua Torres' pitching effort detailed above is all the more impressive.

 

Juan Centeno finished 1-for-3 with a walk, and an RBI.

2B Hector Gomez (batting 2nd), 1B Nick Ramirez (7th) and C Shawn Zarraga (8th) are in Glendale's lineup this afternoon.

 

Box Score / Game Log

 

Glendale pounded, 11-2, but Brewers did fine.

 

Hector Gomez doubled twice in four AB's -- the Adam McCalvy audio we linked to this week has Adam hinting at an upcoming feature.

 

The Brewers really like what they have in the out-of-options Gomez, it seems, and I can't imagine him not being a RH 2B/SS/3B piece this spring. And if Segura looks horrible, through mid-April....

 

Both Nick Ramirez and Shawn Zarraga walked and singled, so the three Crew members combined for a .500 OBP today despite the drubbing.

Translated articles

 

The penchant of Caribs Anzoategui grandeliga welcomes the Minnesota Twins, Oswaldo Arcia, today will be included in the weekly team roster. But the happier news is its brother, Orlando.

 

"Playing together was one of our dreams," confessed the novel shortstop that caught everyone's attention for his incredible defense. "Thank God I will realize, I hope to enjoy it to the fullest."

 

The Arcia brothers played in the streets with little balls of rubber Anaco badges. "I could never beat him," recalls Orlando laughs.

 

But now they have to compete. They wear the same uniform and their names appear together in the lineup.

 

"I do not feel pressure because now Oswaldo come play," said shortstop who just way into professional baseball. "On the contrary. I think I'll feel more confident with my brother in the land. He will support and help me continue to do the job and keep me as I am now."

 

"We're always together, humble and standing tall to give our best," he added.

 

Arcia The entire family is happy about the event and count the days to see them play. Even already have some scenarios in which they would like to celebrate.

 

"Oswaldo always tells me that he would like the two we gave homers on the day," he told the younger brother. "He wants us to celebrate together. But we'll see what happens. With one hit a home run I think like celebrating."

 

Road to Rookie of the Year

 

Orlando is one of the young players stood out most in the month of October. With the .266 average, four homers and 16 RBIs, shortstop has become a fundamental part of Caribbean.

 

"I never expected this," he said. "It's my first year with the team and not thought to be in this situation. I'm going to enjoy the most and take the chance."

 

The moment that lives East -First ninth in the table ways- makes everything more fun for the novice. "The atmosphere that prevails in the clubhouse is amazing. We are constantly supporting us. I work every day and I hope to keep playing the way I do now," he said.

 

"I'm focused on doing my job and if it comes as rookie of the year so be it," he said.

Quotes from big leaguer Alexi Amarista, who is losing playing time to Arcia --

 

The chance that a major leaguer custodie shortstop, could create a "sports rivalry" with teammate Orlando Arcia, indigenous figure in the early creole contest.

 

In 20 games played, Arcia .266 average (21 hits in 79 innings) with four homers and 16 freight.

 

The Barcelona does not believe that this situation creates a problem for the helmsman.

 

"That's not what I decide, what the manager decides. Where Omar (Lopez) to put me, I'll be happy. "

 

The baseball did not miss the opportunity to praise the virtues of Arcia.

 

"I know he (Arcia) is having a very good season and, really, I'm happy with the developments taking. He's a tremendous player and he's shown. "

Teammates love it when you can strand the bases loaded for them -- this wasn't a LOOGY thing, either, it was "next man up" in the pen, as Mike Strong retired a RH bat.

 

Surprise Top of the 5th

 

Kyle Waldrop walks.

With John Hicks batting, wild pitch by Francellis Montas, Kyle Waldrop to 2nd.

John Hicks singles on a line drive to right fielder Steven Moya. Kyle Waldrop to 3rd.

Jace Peterson walks. John Hicks to 3rd. Michael De Leon to 2nd.

Pitching Change: Michael Strong replaces Francellis Montas.

Seth Mejias-Brean pops out to shortstop Tim Anderson.

 

Surprise Top of the 6th

 

Jesse Winker walks.

Hunter Renfroe grounds into a force out, second baseman Hector Gomez to shortstop Tim Anderson. Jesse Winker out at 2nd. Hunter Renfroe to 1st.

Kyle Waldrop grounds into a double play, first baseman Nick Basto to shortstop Tim Anderson. Hunter Renfroe out at 2nd.

 

Surprise Top of the 7th

 

Pitching Change: Joe Mantiply replaces Michael Strong.

 

***

 

Strong turns 26 in 11 days, fellow LHP Stephen Peterson turns 27 today. They are the two most advanced lefty relievers (Strong made six starts in 2014) in the organization, and both are capable of being multi-inning guys, and not just left-handed specialists. Obviously, in terms of age, we're not talking future big league All-Stars, but they certainly could contribute at the big league level within the next season or two, and that's helpful.

 

Strong is taking advantage of his late invite to the AFL, and Peterson was brought to instructionals this fall.

 

If you want to consider Jed Bradley a future swingman, certainly he's in the discussion here as well. Brent Suter will likely be in the AA rotation again in 2015.

Well, again you can't blame Brewer farmhands for a Glendale loss, this one 6-3.

 

We detailed Mike Strong's day above.

 

Tyrone Taylor singled twice in four AB's with an RBI, and Hector Gomez was 2-for-3 with his RBI coming on a sacrifice fly.
