PrintThree Stars of the Day 5/25/09
1. Pedro Baez - 3B - Inland Empire 66ers (A+)
Baez hit his seventh and eight Home Runs of the year to account for all of the 66ers offense against Bakersfield. One of Baez's homers was a solo shot, the other a two-run Home Run. Baez's three RBI gave him 26 on the season which ties him for the team lead. The 3B is OPSing .840 this season but it is mostly being carried by is slugging percentage which is a robust .516.
2. Robert Boothe - RHP - Great Lake Loons (A-)
Boothe is has an interesting story. Born to an American father and a Japanese mother, he was the first amateur from Asia signed by the Dodgers. On Memorial Day, Boothe pitched three scoreless innings to help protect Justin Miller's win. In his first season in the Midwest league, Boothe has shown the propensity to strike batters out. His last outing was evidence of this, as he struck out six batters in three inning appearance. This season Boothe has struck out 37 batters in 23 innings of work.
3. Javy Guerra - RHP - Great Lakes Loons (A-)
Guerra struck out two batters in a perfect 9th inning to earn his 11th save of the season. Guerra has now pitched 10.1 innings of consecutive scoreless relief. Guerra has struck out 13 batters during this streak and 30 batters on the year. He has allowed just three earned runs in 24 innings. Opposing hitters are batting just .134 against against the Texan this season.

I really appreciate these daily reports. Keep up the great work.
I have seen two 66er games this season, and Baez really hasn’t stood out to me. I would love for him to get into a groove and get some of his prospect luster back.
How about the arm, was it as good as they say?

Didn’t really notice, although I will check it out next time I’m there.

No problem Eric,
Yea, from what I’ve read on Baez he has a lot of raw power and a big time arm. He seems really toosly and has boom or bust written all over him. My gut feeling is that he’ll probably won’t be a Dodger regular, but he could be good trade bait for us. And there’s always the fall back option of pitching if 3B doesn’t work out.
Curious Eric, did Trayvon Robinson stand out at all to you in those 2 games?
He stood out with a throwing error in each game, and horrible baserunning that the announcers kept harping on, saying that’s a recurring problem with him. It was near Forest Gumpian levels of running ineptitude.
