The NSI Minor League Report: De Leon Keeps Hitting

Wednesday 6/24

Kelvin De Leon continued his impressive hitting in the GCL, going 2 for 4, with 2 stolen bases. Scranton lost, but Xavier Nady had his first rehab game, getting a double in 3 AB's. Trenton won, behind Jorge Vazquez and Edwar Gonzalez's homers. Delin Betances continues to be a disaster since coming off the disabled list, for Tampa. He lasted 2/3 of an inning, giving up 4 runs with 3 walks and 3 hits. To add to the fiasco, three runners stole a base in the short stint.

The NSI Minor League Report: Wang Rounding Into Shape

Sunday 5/17

Chien Ming Wang continued his scoreless streak in Scranton, throwing 7 shutout innings without a walk. His velocity was down a tick (92 vs 93 last game), but the results were there. Here's what Cash had to say on Wang's performance (from Chad Jennings' SWB).

In the second game of the doubleheader, in Scranton, Brian Bruney pitched one inning and wasn't as effective. Scranton lost in extra innings.

Trenton lost a doubleheader, despite Jorge Vazquez going 5 for 8, with 4 doubles and a homer. He should be promoted to Scranton soon. Tampa lost a 1-0 game, while Charleston won.
