Jeremy Bleich hasn’t pitched since October 24th, not sure what that’s about. Maybe he had that inevitable elbow operation.
AzFL Peoria (11-4 loss to Surprise)
Kevin Russo: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K - hitting streak is up to 15 games
Humberto Sanchez: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 WP, 1 HB, 2-1 GB/FB - only 6 of 11 pitches were strikes (54.5%)

Matthew Leach believes if the Cards do trade Lud for Holliday, it would not just be straight up. The Rox will probably demand one of the Cards relief prospects, and we know they asked for Motte in a deal for Fuentes before. While it feels like there is a lot of momentum to this story, I think this deal will fall apart. Leach has some pretty nice arguments as to why this would be a head-scratcher of a deal apart from just the usual “Holliday has a bad home/road split”.
By dealing Ludwick, who will be arbitration-eligible for the first time, for Holliday, the Cardinals would be taking on approximately $10 million in extra salary without ...

Just a heads up, Baseball America will be posting their Yanks’ top 10 prospects list this Monday. I had stuff to do yesterday, so the regular Friday chat will be held Monday afternoon.
AzFL Peoria (13-4 loss to the other Peoria) season ends on Nov. 20th
Kevin Russo: 2 for 4, 1 CS - extends the hit streak to 16 games … that’s pretty impressive, it can’t be easy to maintain a hit streak like that when you’re not playing every day & hitting in a different spot in the order while playing a different position when you do play
Austin Jackson: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K - just 3 for ...

In the AFL the Peoria Javelinas lost to the Surprise Rafters 9-6: Box Score - Recap - Game Story Phil Hughes started for the Javelinas and continued his inconsistent winter.

Humberto Sanchez pitched one third of an inning and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks. He threw 23 pitches, 11 for ...

How ’bout those Hawkeyes?!!
As most of you have already seen, Rosenthal is reporting that it’s Ludwick, Schumaker, Boggs being asked for in a deal for Holliday. While that is quite a bit of cost controlled years worth of talent going to Colorado, how much talent is it really? Without another pitch, Boggs is at best a 4th starter or a decent middle reliever. Schu has blossomed into a fine player and all, but he opens the door for Colby. And we’ve already discussed Ludwick versus Holliday. A lot of you think this is an awful deal, it’s only awful if it they can’t address other needs, which is why I would hope the Braves would ...
