]]> Comment on River Cats Split Doubleheader With Las Vegas by Marty http://www.athleticsminors.net/river-cats-split-doubleheader-with-las-vegas/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Marty Mon, 18 Jun 2007 05:34:10 +0000 http://www.athleticsminors.net/river-cats-split-doubleheader-with-las-vegas/#comment-16 I've been going to a lot of River Cats games this season and one thing I can say for the relief pitchers is this...you don't get saves and wins when your defense is giving up 3 errors a game and they all seem to occur after the 6th inning. These relief pitchers are getting taking the brunt of the blame when plays like Murphy bobbles a ball and then gives up on it and no one is covering second and the runner advances to second or when Barton bobbles the ball at third, tries to make the throw instead of eating it and throws it away and guess what.....the runner advances. I went to 5 games in a row only to see 15 errors...thats ridiculous...you don't win games making errors...its simple... Oh...and would someone tell me why Lloyd Turner (hitting .140) is sitting in AAA??? Did I miss something? Why is he even still playing??? His average in Stockton was about the same???? I'm confused on that one!

]]> Comment on Rockhounds Edge Springfield in Second Straight Win by Steve Stone http://www.athleticsminors.net/rockhounds-edge-springfield-in-second-straight-win/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Steve Stone Thu, 26 Apr 2007 13:05:17 +0000 http://www.athleticsminors.net/rockhounds-edge-springfield-in-second-straight-win/#comment-3 Vasili Spanos is a huge talent. He should be in at least AAA. The fact that they started him back in AA again I think rreally has gotten to the guy and that's why his numbers are down. I think he's probably lost faith in the A's organization giving him a real shot at making the bigs. They should trade him while his stocks still high, and mentally he's still in the game. Too many prospects are ruined by not having a set criteria as to what will get you to the bigs. Trade him or move him up. Vasili Spanos is a huge talent. He should be in at least AAA.
