New Orleans (AAA): 6-1 loss to Omaha
RHP Ruddy Lugo was hit hard, giving up 10 hits in six innings. He allowed six runs, and while just two were earned thanks to a third inning error, his ERA got more luck than it deserved for how he threw. 1B Michel Abreu was 1-for-4 with a double, and OF Victor Mendez went 2-for-3 with a double and a run.
Binghamton (AA): 13-2 loss to Portland
RHP Jesus Sanchez had a mediocre outing, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk in 5.1 innings. LHP Edgar Alfonzo allowed two runs in 1.2 innings, and the game was blown to smithereens in RHP Robert Paulk’s 2/3 of an inning, during which he gave up eight runs on nine hits and a walk.
DH Mike Carp was 2-for-3 with a double and a walk, and OF Ambiorix Concepcion drove in both B-Met runs in a 2-for-4 night that included a solo homer.
St. Lucie (A+): 10-5 loss to Palm Beach
RHP Dylan Owen was hit hard, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings. OF Moises Alou, making his first rehab start, was 3-for-3 with a double and a run. SS Ruben Tejada was 2-for-5 with a double and two runs, while Lucas Duda was 2-for-5 with a run scored.





Jordan:
I love the Minor League recaps, but damn is the picture creepy.
What were you looking for over your shoulder, the Phillie Phanatic?
Ambiorix Concepcion – haven’t heard about him in awhile. How’s he been doing? What’s is his ceiling looking like?
Fourth outfielder (at absolute best), but likely AAA depth.
I’m interested in this Alou kid. What’s his ceiling?
comes from a strong baseball background, quick hands, right-handed bat with pop, will hit for average, high baseball IQ…durability is a concern though, some scouts worry about him making it through a grueling 162 games schedule.
Also eschews traditional batting gloves for urine.
Geez, I eschew oven mitts for urine.
Don’t forget — His pregame warmup consists of hand pissing!
If Alou would only bathe in his pee, his body would be unbreakable.
Carpe Diem. His time is drawing nearer as Delgado continues to plummet into the bottomless Frank Thomas zone (with less power).
