4/14/11 Minor League Report - Sexton Guides Loons Through Whitecaps

PrintExcluding the game that occurred in the offensive haven known as Albuquerque, the Dodgers minor league staring pitching allowed just 1 run in 20 innings. That being said, despite the 3 wins there was not much to write about on the offensive side of the ball.
Minor League Player of the Day – Tim Sexton - 7 IP, 1 Win, 7 K's, 1 ER, 3 hits, 1 BB. Sexton started the 2010 in AA, but found himself back in LoA when the 2011 campaign began even though made his professional debut in the Midwest League way back in 2007. Tim is doing his best to show that he belongs in a more advanced league after a dominate performance on Thursday, and has a .140 batting average against for the season through 12 innings.
AAA – It was a brisk day in Albuquerque with wind gusts up to 40 mph, and when the dust cleared it was the I-Cubs who had blown over the Isotopes 10 to 6. Starter Randy Keiser was shelled for 8 hits and 7 runs in his 3.2 innings of work, and Travis Schlichting was also hit hard later in the game. Two other Albuquerque pitchers were sharp in relief, however, as Ramon Troncoso worked 2.1 shutout innings with 4 K's and Scott Elbert needed just 7 pitches to get through the 8th...which is even more impressive when you consider that he had 2 strikeouts in the inning. Jerry Sands had another great game as he notched 2 singles and a triple in 5 plate appearances and is now hitting .424. The triple was a gapper to left-center on a low pitch that Sands when down and got. The other big offensive games came from AAA newbies Joseph Becker and Charlie Mirabal. Becker has played all over the place over the last few years and is really just a fill in infielder, but he went 3 for 4 with a wind aided double. Mirabal, who is an interesting story as he was signed out of a Dodger tryout in 2007, was a pitcher for a few years in the DSL, and spent all of last season as a middle infielder in the Arizona Rookie League, had a 2-RBI double in his first AAA at bat and ended the day 2 for 4 with 3 runs driven in. Finally, after having yet another player go down to injury (Damaso Espino was hit in the head with a pitch), Jon Link was forced to play in right field.
AA – The Lookouts won their 3rd straight game on Thursday with a 2-0 victory over the Barons (White Sox). Michael Antonini was the starting pitcher Chattanooga and blanked Birmingham for 6 innings, allowing just 4 hits and striking out 4. Josh Lindblom, Cole St. Clair, and Javy Guerra all threw in relief and each allowed a single hit in a scoreless inning of work to preserve the shutout. Guerra's night was especially noteworthy because he walked a couple of batters and loaded the bases, but was able to win the game by striking out the side. The Lookouts had just 5 hits in this game so there really isn't much offense to discuss. 28 year old outfield Brad Coon had the only multi-hit game for Chattanooga, and was one of three players to record a double.
HiA – The Quakes celebrated their home opener with a win on Thursday as Greg Wilborn shut out the Lancaster Jethawks (Astros) for 7 innings in the 5 to 3 victory. Austin Gallagher provided the offensive fireworks with his first homer of the season, while Griff Erickson recorded two doubles and an RBI. Jake Lemmerman, Angelo Songco, and J.T. Wise also all finished the day with 2 hits a piece. Getting back to Wilborn, he had his second straight solid outing of the season with just 5 hits allowed, and lowered his season ERA to 0.75 over 12 innings. The bullpen gave up a few runs in relief, but that wasn't enough to tarnish Greg's brilliant performance. With the win, Rancho Cucamonga evened their record to 4 and 4 for the season.
LoA – Tim Sexton, who started his career in the Midwest League back in 2007, was brilliant for the Loons over 7 innings and helped Great Lakes win the series against West Michigan with a 3 to 1 victory. Sexton is still just 23 years old, and allowed 3 hits while striking out 7 as he tries to regain the form that he had when he signed with the Dodgers for $123,000. After Tim left the game Pete Budkevics threw a scoreless 8th inning, then Shawn Tolleson came in and again struck out every batter he faced to give him the save and a 27.0 K/9 through 3.1 innings. The Loons offense managed 3 runs on just 4 hits because they scored all 3 of their runs on sacrifice flies. Christian Lara was perfect at the plate with 2 singles and 2 walks, while Casio Grider recorded his 3rd triple of the young season.

More talent this year in the system...
…then I can remember for 4 or 5 years. I think the Dodgers do a great job scouting, signing, and developing players, especially given the financial restraints of the past few years.
I find myself irrationally excited for Late Night.
C'mon, let's rock tonight...we're goin' right out of our minds!
yup, knew that would happen
Thanks for being just oh so predictable

I knew at some point the names “Jerry Sands” and “Billy Ashley” would get connected here.
I’m training my brain to think “Mike Marshall” when I see the words “Billy Ashley”!

I think he's poking fun at the prospect writer who said a scout told him
Jerry Sands was just another Billy “Stone Glove” Ashley.
Which is ludicrous.

Tolleson
Homeboy can strike out some folks now can’t he? Interesting to see what he does in more advanced competition.
JT Wise
is he the guy we should be looking at as a future starting catcher?

Future backup.
Dude’s 26 and not moving up the system fast enough. He’s AJ Ellis, not Russell Martin.
ah
i didn’t know he was already that old.

he actually turns 25 in June so he's not quite as old as you think
but I still think the age is a factor. He chould be a solid backup though and has some power which is definitly the Dodgers backup catcher position has been missing over the last few year

Has the Delmonico to catcher experiment ended?
They’ve listed him as 3B for Quakes… Thought he might end up one of their better catching prospects but guess that’s over for now…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I haven't heard
I’ll try to find out when i got to the Quakes game this weekend. It could be that he is more injury prone behind the plate and they are trying to avoid that, or maybe the injuries he suffered last year are preventing him from going behind the plate this early in the season. plus the Quakes already have 2 catching prospects on the team right now so there is no rush. His value really does lie in him being a catcher, though, and his defense was improving so I hope they haven’t given up on that
by Brandon Lennox on Apr 15, 2011 10:13 AM PDT up reply actions
Cool thanks
I’d forgotten about the injuries. Maybe they do plan on slowly easing him back into it… (Not that the org couldn’t use some 3B prospects,too, but doesn’t seem like that’s where his value lies…)

Any reason why the Minor league reports are moved to the front page instead of fanposts?
I like the decision, but still wondering.
one reason
is that so they can be catagorized into the minor league catagory which makes them easier to find on the site and through search engines

Manny is receiving checks from Boston
for $1.94 million for the next 16 years for the $31 million in deferred payments contained in the eight-year, $160 million contract Ramirez signed with the Sox in 2000.

The worst kept secret for months. That deal was agreed to in December, or whenever the trade was finalized.
by Eric Stephen on Apr 15, 2011 8:14 AM PDT up reply actions
Yep
Boston gets to count it as an extension of his current $6.3 million contract for this year. So the total deal becomes 8/$160.3m (just over $20m per for luxury tax purposes) instead of $22m per.

Gibbons has to be dealt with by the 27th
I would think by now, Padilla will do some rehab work (in Cal League), even if it is just a few games.
With no word on Navarro (and he will have a good full rehab assignment), I don’t anticipate another move for at least a week or so.
If Gibbons isnt dealt with
Does he go back on the DL again? How does that work?
"Champions last year," he said. "Not this year." - Rubby De La Rosa after shaming the Giants in ST
If he is still having issues seeing the ball on April 27, and both Gibbons and the team think so, I’m sure they will concoct a way to extend his rehab.
But yeah, they basically have to add him to the roster by then.
by Eric Stephen on Apr 15, 2011 9:32 AM PDT up reply actions
I think short of having another eye operation
I don’t see what they could do to extend his rehab.
Maybe put him on the sixty day but if that is the case, what’s the point.

James Loney
After watching the game last night, I was wondering WTF is up with his stance and what he was doing with his hands (as Donnie mentioned). I was watching video of him from May of 2008 and comparing to video of this season. There is a clear difference in his batting stance and swing path.
In 2008, he started his swing with his hands close to his body, almost directly above his shoulder at about ear level. He loaded his swing, keeping his hands close to his body and taking a short, direct path to the ball. This swing produced a homer to right field.
In the video from this season, he is starting with his hands much higher (almost above his head) and further away from his body. He also seems to be holding the bat on a flatter plane. When he loads, his hands are further from his body and it looks like it is producing a longer, loopier swing path.
I’ve never been a fan of his weight transfer so I’m not even going to get into that, but it also seems like he is taking a shorter stride this year (probably because he is reaching out more with his hands).
I was thinking about making a fanpost about this, but I don’t know how to make those cool GIFs from video that Chad makes.
Good stuff
I’d be interested in reading that (even if it means no gifs)
by Michael White on Apr 15, 2011 9:29 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah I know some others have talked here and on DT the past week or so about how they worked with Loney
this off season to try to get him to hit with more power. It is clear that this is not working and has messed him up somehow. At this point I’d say screw trying to hit for power and go back to what worked for him, at least he’s capable of hitting doubles and getting on base. Now he just looks totally lost (though he did get a couple of solid hits last night.)
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Not sure the goal was more power exactly
Mattingly said this back in a February 23, 2011 Tony Jackson story
“I know some people keep telling me we’re messing with him, but his hand-eye coordination is very good, and he has the talent. But we’re not going to tell him to try to hit more home runs. If he can keep doing what he was doing at the break last year, we’ll be happy with that.”
Jeff Pentland added this
“In order to hit the ball in that certain area, it’s really difficult,” Pentland said. “James probably isn’t as consistent as he needs to be at getting his bat to that spot. What he needs to do is put the bat head in a better position so we can add some sharpness to the ball. I never tell guys to swing for the fence. I want guys to hit the ball hard consistently. If they do that, there are going to be times where they catch it just right and it’s going to go out of the ballpark.”
Loney said this:
“It’s a totally new feeling,” Loney said. “I think I might have had it a few times [in the past] without knowing it. But this is more of a new feeling. … It’s just [a result of] trying to do things the right way and trying to take that perfect practice approach so that eventually, you make that muscle memory take over.”

Kemp is Awesome.
Etheir is Awesome.
Carrol might be actually be good enough to man SS without making us want to tear our hair out.
Loney got 2 hits last night! 2! I’ve said all along we don’t need him to be a superstar as long as our pitching does well and Kemp does awesome.
Uribe has walked TWICE in as many days! Thats crazy! and he doubled! DOUBLED!

I think this is a .500 team, and we are going to float there for the rest of the season. I think the term is “resigned”, but I really am looking forward to watching Chad, Kershaw, and Kemp play.
C'mon, let's rock tonight...we're goin' right out of our minds!
Thats likely
but Kemp mashing and good production from Gwynn could go a long way to helping this offense be at least approaching competent, and when our pitching stabilizes that could go a long way to winning games.

Security game
I went to last night’s game and there were cops EVERYWHERE! They were two cop cars right off stadium way. Cops driving up and down Stadium Way and Academy Road. Teams of cops at the parking lot entrance, parking lots and stadium entrance. They all had one thing in common, they were all taking amongst themselves like they had a day off. There were cops above the aisles and all over after the game. I sat in the second row next to the RF foul pole and was kind of scared to heckle Berkman (he was known as Berkie all night). All in all, everyone seamed to be on their best behavior!
