Akron downs Connecticut 2-0 as the Defs could
manage just 4 hits off Aeros pitching and three of those runners were then thrown out on the basepaths. Eugenio Velez singled twice and was caught stealing twice (that's 14 CS so far) and Julio Crodido was out at third stretching a double into a triple.
Geno Espineli should have won with his pitching line but falls to 6-7. The big news is Billy Salder is back from Fresno as Taylor Wilding goes back to SJ. Salder threw a shutout inning tonight and had been with Fresno this year. Billy made his MLBB last season.
For the tradeline the Giants dealt Matt Morris to Pittsburg for local star and Pirates rookie OF Raja Davis. With Nate, Fred, Dan and Bowker all trying to crack the Giants OF what does this mean?

Maybe it was a salary dump? Don't know what Morris was making or how long he had in his contract. It is kind of a slap in the face to Nate. Having said that, I think Davis is good and he seems like a good kid.
Going to the game tonight, I hope the Hawaiian Rodney Choy Foo is in the lineup for Akron. Three of the top ten Tribe prospects according to BA are on the Akron roster.
By the way, with what is being said of numerous Yankee pitching prospects (and rightfully so), little mention has been made of Horne who has been totally kicking butt for Tenton. He had another good game last night.... And they sent Brett Smith to Tampa even though he too was doing well. They also have some other good hurlers.
Sal Butera moved from the B Mets to the Rock Cats in a trade, the kid has a rifle for an arm.
