Trayvon Robinson walking up the ladder - Dodger Prospect Top Performances and Minor League Box Scores - Aug 5th, 2009

Trayvon Robinson had a triple and homerun as he continues to scorch the ball in August. Check out the progressive walk rate for Mr. Robinson - by month - 5%, 6, 11%, 12% and so far in limited at bats in August, 17%. The K rate is worrisome with 111 k's but keep in mind he has already accumulated 494 plate appearances (22%). Speedy guys who walk and can hit with some semblence of power while playing CF.... Someone to keep an eye on.

2009 3rd round pick Brett Wallach was whomped in his start last night giving up seven runs in one inning of work.

Alberto Bastardo with a complete game, eight strikeout performance for AA

Josh Lindblom with four k's in two innings of relief work at AAA.

I'm still mystified with the Dodgers belief they needed more relief pitching. They don't even have room for Corey Wade while they still have Belisario on his way back with Lindblom in AAA.

Kenley Jansens conversion is not going well, if the move is permanent then I expect he will be working out in Arizona after the season.

Since Vinny Rottino was received in the Vargas deal lthe catcher has played C, RF, and 3rd base.

Justin Miller's debut in the Cal League went about as well as Withrow's debut in AA. That is to say it did not go well.
