Monday Pebble Report: Carlos Gonzalez steals home but Sky Sox lose two.

Colorado Springs: L 3-6, L 4-7

Carlos Gonzalez continues to make strides toward returning to the majors, going three for seven in yesterday's double header for the Sky Sox with two walks. In the continuation of Friday night's suspended contest, Gonzalez hit a two run double and then later made a rare steal of home after walking and advancing to third on a Matt Miller single. Miller stole second on the play, so I'm guessing that Gonzalez broke when the catcher attempted to stop Miller. Anyway, over his last ten games, Gonzalez is hitting .405/.444/.786 with three SB's, 19 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Jason Hirsh pitched a decent six innings in the suspended contest despite the loss, surrendering only two runs. EY2 stole two bases that game but had only his second failed attempt on the season in game two. Young is now 16/18 on SB's for the season.

Tulsa: Postponed

Modesto: L 2-9

The best part of this game was Hector Gomez adding two more hits, including a double.

Asheville: L 0-7

Similarly, not much to dwell on here as the Tourists were held to four singles. The entire T's lineup was outshined by Mets prospect Sean Ratliff, who hit three doubles and a homer off of Robinson Fabian.

It's goot to see CarGo making strides

Hey

if only there was some mechanism by which surplus talent could be turned into players that play a position of need.

I kind of wish that one of our outfielders sucked noticeably so I could add him to my list of "players to jettison into outer space"

Matt Murton status: Freed
Garrett Atkins status: Not Traded
Clint Hurdle status: Still Employed by the Rockies

Or that Spilly or Hawpe would be awesome enough to give solid trade value

I think both are pretty close

Hawpe’s offensively productive and not quite as atrocious on defense as he was last season. There are several teams that could use what he provides (left handed production at a reasonable price) including a few contenders. Spilly’s also likely to have some value, especially after his power display at AT&T on Saturday. I really think the Rockies have to trade one of these two by the AS Break.
