Monday Pebble Report: Arizona Fall League play ends this week

Arizona Fall League:

The Phoeneix Desert Dogs captured the National Division title back on November 13, so the six Rockies on the roster will play for a chance to win the Arizona Fall League title once the regulate season ends on November 20.

  • Shane Lindsay did not take part in the decision on November 11, but he struck out seven batters and allowed three runs in four innings.
  • David Patton allowed four runs on four hits in 1/3 IP on November 10.
  • Chaz Roe hasn't pitched since November 6.
  • Michael McKenry went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, and three RBI on November 10. The next day, he hit his ninth homer. Then the day after, he went 3-for-5 but did not hit a homer. Atlanta prospect Tyler Flowers, 17 homers for Myrtle Beach (Carolina League) in 2008, took the lead in AFL homers after having a three homer, seven RBI game on November 12.
  • Chris Nelson hit a homer on November 11, his fourth. On November 13, he went 4-for-5 with a triple, two homers, and five RBI.
  • As Rox Girl posted a few days ago, Eric Young, Jr. missed this past week of AFL action.

Hawaii Winter League:

The Hawaii Winter League concluded yesterday, as the Waikiki Beach Boys took home the championship. Giants' 2008 first round pick Buster Posey smacked a three-run homer in the seventh inning during the 5-1 victory.

The Honolulu Sharks finished second (17-18) behind Waikiki in the two-team divsion.

  • Austin Chambliss allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in 1/3 IP on November 11.
  • Still don't know what happened to Andy Graham after his October 24 appearance.
  • On November 11, Connor Graham struck out eight and walked three in four innings. He allowed no runs.
  • Lars Davis had five hits in his last nine at-bats (that's over three games). On November 15, he hit his first homer, a solo shot, in HWL action.
  • Darin Holcomb finished the HWL hitting .163/.291/.239.
  • Mike Mitchell did nothing of in the final week of HWL play.

Kevin Goldstein's Top 11

For the Rockies came out today. He’s more generous than he has been in the past to the system now that Ian Stewart has graduated. Fowler/Chacin/Rosario are 1,2 and 3. I don’t know if I’d rank Rosario that high just yet, but I can see the justification for it.

Well,

Goldstein does put him as a four-star prospect, not a five-star like Fowler and Chacin. Though I’d agree that that might be too high for him . . . right now.

I figure whoever has the better season in Asheville between him and Friedrich

Will be our #2 prospect for 2010 assuming Fowler graduates but Chacin does not. Hector Gomez is a big wild card that could disrupt that, however.

Fowler

Are we anticipating Fowler being the starting CF next season?

By the end of it, yes

Or at the very least splitting time with CarGo.

I think so

but if CarGo hits, I would think they’d look to move Hawpe to make room for him, since Hawpe’s defense is past the decline phase (it just doesn’t exist anymore) and he’s the most expensive of the group.
