Quick Texas League All-Star Game Recap
Athletics Nation —
... The North beat the South 2-1. If it's good enough for the Civil War, it's good enough for this as well. RockHounds were involved in all the scoring, both good and bad. Jason Fernandez came in to pitch in the second and unfortunately for him, he gave up three straight singles before hitting HR Derby winner Mark Trumbo with a 2-1 pitch to force in a run. He escaped further damage by starting a nice 1-2-3 double play and finished it off with a strikeout, then he worked a 3-up, 3-down third. ...

Minor League Report: Sean Rodriguez. Mashing. Waiting.
Halos Heaven —
... had some control issues in addition to being hittable, a nasty combination - but this year he pitched well enough out of the Travs' pen to earn a rotation slot. He's been nails ever since his conversion to starting, throwing 4 quality starts in 7 tries, despite tight pitch counts, while sporting a 3.22 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 36 innings. He's only 5'11", so his future may still be in the pen, but he's a guy to watch. I'm still waiting for a decent scouting report on him.

However, the plus junk hasn't been enough to compensate for his lack of fastball against better competition, and the southpaw consequently struggled this season in AA, posting a 2 and 8 record with a 5.07 ERA over 17 starts. On the plus side, Anton occasionally has nights where the junk is untouchable, which is what happened against Travs'-rival Northwest Arkansas last Thursday. Another season honing his craft in AA might be just the ticket for Anton.
