2014 signing out of Havana Cuba RHP Antonio Romero recently added to the #Indians (High-A) @HillcatBaseball made his pro debut last Thursday. Romero debut 2.2IP 0H 0R 0ER 3BB 2SO. Tonight in his 2nd appearance he was dominating - 2IP 1H 0R 0ER 0BB 5SO. Interesting name to watch.

Good day for the teenage hitters:

Back in the lineup, Bobby Bradley delivers a big night: 2 homers, a single, 5 rbi. Suddenly his OPS leaps to 1076
Mejia 2 doubles plus a single, hitting 333 in May
Chang a single and a double and 3rbi.

Two hits each for Frazier and LuigiRod and Zimmer homers, steals and walks thrice. Even Papi with a single and double.

Two singles for Tony Wolters, hitting 260, OPS still only 655

Single and double for Lindor, and for Aguillar.

In all three teams one; one way ahead when game suspended. Our teams outscored theirs 42-15.

Michael Roth LH in Columbus with 8 strong innings: 8-5-2-2-1-7 2.37. Another option for Tribe No. 5 role. I think he's not another soft-tosser, but I'd have to look that up. If nothing else, he's not Bruce Chen

All the boxes:

Really!!!

Yep, I had heard about it.

so did BA. Here are their Monday highlights:

CLE AAA Aguilar, Jesus 1B 5 1 2 0 .232 2B (7)
CLE AAA Lindor, Francisco SS 5 0 2 0 .259 2B (7)
CLE AAA Ramsey, James CF 4 1 1 0 .235
CLE HiA Frazier, Clint CF 6 1 2 3 .267 2B (7)
CLE HiA Papi, Mike LF 4 2 2 0 .152 2B (4), BB (21) walks are great, a few more hits would be encouraging
CLE HiA Zimmer, Bradley RF 3 2 1 1 .278 HR (5), 3 BB (15), SB (15) avg slipping but still walking and stealing
CLE LoA Bradley, Bobby DH 4 3 3 5 .276 2 HR (3)
CLE LoA Chang, Yu-Cheng SS 6 3 2 3 .273 2B (8) don't overlook this kid
CLE LoA Mejia, Francisco C 5 1 3 2 .216 2 2B (6)
CLE LoA Paulino, Dorssys LF 4 1 1 1 .229 2B (3), 2 BB (5) that's not a lot of walks, but 2 in a day is positive

One of last year's best minor league starting pitcher isn't this year

CLE HiA Brown, Mitch 3 8 7 6 5 1 5.90

UD:

Our top offensive prospects had a collectively, with Zimmer excepted, pretty rough April, but May is looking better.

Offenses are starting out with some oomph again today. Lynchburg with 5 in the first, Columbus 2 and Akron 1. First inning homers by Jerry Sands (Columbus), Clint Frazier and two teammates (Lynchburg). Akron doesn't hit homers, only 7 in their 31 games!!

[Columbus with 25 is second in the IL;
Lynchburg's 19 were league leading before today's big inning --- Carolina league is certainly a pitchers' league, avg team hits 1 homer every 2 games; Hillcats' Zimmer and LuigiRodriguez are two of the three leading the league with 5 blasts; Lake County 19 which is third in the league]

Tuesday games:

Need some bullpen help in Cleveland? Crockett had a 1-2-3 inning. Adams was a disaster, blew the save and the game allowing 2 runs on 3 walks and a hit in 1/3 inning in the 9th.

Future starters?
AA: Shawn Morimando 4-7-4-4-4-6
HI A: Dace Kime 5 2/3-11-6-6-3-4 Carolina League debut not too impressive
Lo A: Sean Brady 6-5-0-0-0-7 2.73 for the year: 33 innings, 32 hits 3 walks 30 strikeouts; a smallish lefty

Hitters:

Aguillar 2 singles and a double; Lindor single and 7th steal
Frazier 2nd homer; Papi single and walk.
Paulino 4th double, 3rd homer; His line in May: 348/388/565. Maybe his best in 3 summers.

Antonetti: Charles Nagy will serve as AAA Columbus pitching coach for next couple weeks. CLE still working through plan for rest of year.

Our 3 best all starting today: Anderson for Akron, Plutko for Lynchburg and Sheffield for Lake County. The former two deserve promotions -- Anderson was in Akron all last year, rather unsuccessfully; Plutko moved to Carolina midseason; Sheffield is just a kid so will stay all year at Low A unless he really impresses.
