Buggin Out in Brooklyn
Oliver Perez made a rehab start in Keyspan Park Sunday, and the Brooklyn Cyclones crushed the visiting Hudson Valley Renegades in his honor 13-3. Perez got the win, pitching 5 innings of shutout ball, allowing 2 hits, 1 walk and striking out 6. 2009 draftee Sam Honeck got his first game off, but two of his classmates were in the lineup and one got a save.
Nick Santomauro went 0 for 2 with 2 walks and 2 runs scored as the DH. LF Alex Gregory was 1 for 4 with a run scored and is batting .304 in 7 games this season. Wesley Wrenn made his second relief appearance and pitched 3 scoreless innings, allowing only a walk in picking up his first save. Wrenn struck out 2. To see where I got that excellent pic of Ollie and read the game story please visit brooklyncyclones.com.

If we can get Ollie up and he can go every other game being the good Ollie we could be in decent shape in the rotation. We’re not too bad now. Move Nieve to the pen and have a real nice arm there…now to get Maine, Putz, Wagner, Reyes, Delgado, and Beltran. lol

Thanks.

Probably the last time we will ever hear of this guy:
Davis inks free agent deal with New York Mets
Courtesy: UTSA Athletics
Senior Marshal Davis is the third player from the 2009 squad to join the professional ranks this summer.
SAN ANTONIO — Senior Marshal Davis became the third Roadrunner from last spring’s squad to join the professional ranks, as he agreed to terms on a free agent deal with the New York Mets this weekend. The Conroe native is en route to Florida and will be assigned to one of the Mets’ minor league affiliates later this week.
A four-year letterwinner and three-year starter at shortstop, Davis had arguably his best season in navy blue and orange this past season. He hit .314 (72-for-229) with nine doubles, a half dozen triples (t-No. 3 on UTSA’s single-season list), two home runs and 41 RBIs — all of which were career highs — and he earned honorable mention All-Southland Conference accolades. He added 42 runs scored, walked 35 times and reached base at a .401 clip.
Davis was even better in league action, recording a .336 batting average with eight doubles, four triples, a homer, 24 RBIs and 30 walks.
He is one of just three players that have been team captains for more than one season during the nine-year tenure of head coach Sherman Corbett.
Fellow seniors Michael Rockett (13th round/Detroit Tigers) and Jose Hernandez (23rd round/Pittsburgh Pirates) both were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft earlier this month.
Corbett now has coached 22 players that have moved on to professional careers.
