Let's not get too excited about Komatsu. Rookie level pitching is considered to be a step below college-level pitching, and having come out of the UC system Komatsu has faced a lot of good pitching. I won't get excited about him until he puts up these numbers in A-ball.

You mis read me...Gindl's bat is awesome...i'm just blown away by his arm strength..he's a very good prospect

Komatsu was BA's Pioneer League Prospect of the Day:

Helena (Brewers) rightfielder Erik Komatsu continued to torch Pioneer League pitching on Sunday night, going 3-for-5 with a double and a triple. Komatsu,the Brewers' eighth-round pick out of Cal State Fullerton, has been one of the most...

I can easily see Gindl having another similarly solid-but-not-great season at Brevard next year and then exploding at Huntsville in 2010.

"not mistaken mass...Gindl's arm is better than his bat... "

Guys...Gindl is a very strong fielder...covers ground well, reacts to the ball well, and has a very strong and accurate arm. Don't get too down on his hitting though. Watching him from here, it just seems like there's a hitch in his swing that he needs to work through, but I think he's pressing too hard to figure it out at this point. Seems like something a good hitting instructor should be...

The Tennessean:

Right-hander Mark DiFelice departed Saturday's start against New Orleans after experiencing lower back stiffness throughout his two innings, he said before Sunday's doubleheader.

"It's nothing serious," DiFelice said, indicating he should be ready to make his next scheduled start July 23 against visiting Tacoma.

How about Komatsu's stunningly low K total of 6 in 95 AB! And he's not that old either at only 20.

Only four innings (79 pitches) for Steve Hammond?

He's recently off the DL with a dead arm, so I don't know that he has 100 pitches in him right now without going back on the DL. Seven strikeouts in 4 IP though... high strikeout pitchers throw a lot of pitches. In his two outings after coming off the DL he has only thrown seven innings, but has struck out 13 and walked two. I'm sure they're being careful with him since he is just off the DL.

What does Nieves throw, and how hard does he throw it? Anyone know? I did a search of the Minor League forum and came up empty trying to find a scouting report.

edit. Nevermind, he was part of the draft preview and CJ laid it all down here. The one time I don't google...

as for Merklinger, he told me he was pitching hurt for most of the year a few days ago, but said the brewers brass want him to rehab on field...which should upset most of you guys...
