AAA - LHP Shawn Estes continues to pitch well for Alberquerque. Last week he turned in 2 quality starts, pitching 12 innings without allowing a run. Estes basically matched what fellow veteran lefty, teammate Eric Milton, did the week before. Here's his line in 5 starts this season: 1-1, 1.80 ERA, 18 K, 6 BB in 25 IP.
AA - RHP Josh Lindblom rebounded from his worse outing of the young season with 2 good showings last week. Here's his line from those starts: 1-0, 10 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 5 K, 0 BB. It appears the promising pitching prospect is back on track.
AA - RHP Jesus Rodriguez is finding success in the bullpen this season. He hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 4 outings totaling 8 innings in the process. At 23, Rodriguez has split time as both a reliever and starter in his career. After a promising 2007, he struggled last year after being promoted to AA. This season he has been an excellent option for Jacksonville. Here's his line: 2-1, 1.04 ERA, 17.1 IP, 17 H, 2 ER, 9 K, 2 BB, 1.56 Groundout/ Flyout ratio.
AA - RF Jamie Hoffmann is swinging a hot bat right now. The 6'3" 205 pound outfielder is 24 years old and in his 2nd full season in AA. In the last week he had 3 multi-hit games including a 5-5 outburst last Tuesday. On the season: .308 AVG, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 21 R, 16 BB, 15 K, .973 OPS (2008: .278 AVG, 10 HR, .745 OPS)
A-Advanced - CF Trayvon Robinson appears to be finally coming into his own. At 21 years old, Robinson is in his 2nd full season playing High-A ball. The switch hitting table-setter has been an extra-base hit machine this year with 3 HR, 8 doubles and 3 triples. On the season he is batting .327 in 24 games. It will be interesting to see if his power continues to develop. He has never hit more than 4 HR in a single season.
A - 2B Jaime Pedroza is off to an excellent start in 2009. In his last 5 games: .591(13-22), 2 HR, 7 RBI. Pedroza is 22 years old and at 5'8" we hope he can be a Dustin Pedroia clone. However, Pedroza is very vulnerable to the strikeout. Here's his line from 2009: .358 AVG, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 6 doubles, 26 K, 13 BB, 6/10 SB in 22 games.

I know there was talk of bringing up Shawn Estes/ Jeff Weaver recently.
Obviously Weaver got it recently, but I think we might see Estes soon if Stults is shaky in upcoming starts.
I love reading these minor league reports.
I'm glad you enjoy these.
Personally I would be unhappy with Milton or Estes on the big club... especially Estes who has proven to be ineffective year after year.
Stults pitched well tonight. Hopefully the roster is set until Kuroda comes back.
Realistically, i don't see how the pitching staff can hold up as is. I'm a big supporter of Stults, but i just don't know if he can last the whole season. I hope Coletti is knocking on some doors.
