Link Report for Thursday 7/23 - Another Sky Sox walk-off; Trent Clark literally steals a win for Maryvale

Now that Roache has warmed up a bit, unsurprisingly he is hitting for more power outside of Brevard, but his walk rate is also up a tick and his K rate is down quite a bit at his current AA rate he'd only K 70 times in the same number of ABs he had at A+ this year. It's still high, but I think it bodes well for him having a better chance of hitting for a high enough average to be useful.

In case folks didn't notice, yes it was that Ricky Romero, 2005 1st round pick of the Blue Jays, starting for the AZ Giants. Back in 2011 many thought he was going to be the next big thing; LHP with sub-3.00 ERA, four CGs, two shutouts, some even wondering if he should have been selected over Braun. But then he fell apart, and hasn't regained it since.

 

Boy, Jeff Clement was the Darko Milicic of that draft.
