some quick notes

We start Tuesday night when the Oakland A's promoted Scott Mitchinson from Kane County to Stockton. Mitch was 5-3 with a 1.74 ERA before being injured. He has returned to the active list and, after 2 more brief appearances with the Cougars, was promoted to the Ports, where he will be a teammate of Matt Spencer, who started the season in Clearwater. Spencer is hitting .336 since the trade and his overall numbers are very impressive for someone who jumped a level, never appearing in low A: 11 home runs, 59 RBI and a .276 overall batting average.

Wednesday night in Chicago, Gavin Floyd picked up his 13th win of the year as the White Sox destroyed the Mariners, 15-3. Gavin leads all HomeSiders in victories and should be one of the Sox' starters come playoff time.

The Lakewood BlueClaws have found their winning ways again in Eastlake, Ohio, winning Wednesday and Thursday to pull within a half game of the West Virginia Power in the bid for the franchise's second playoff berth. The BlueClaws look like they will have to do it without one of their top guns as Dominic Brown's left shoulder has been re-injured, and he is returning to Florida for rehab.
