Lou Marson remains hot. Lou is hitting .472, that is 17 for 36, the last 10 games. Over the nagging injuries, and rust he incurred sitting on the Phillies bench most of the spring, Marson has returned to form, hitting .302 for the IronPigs now that the playing time has become regular.
Interesting to me that when Raul Ibanez was activated by the Phillies, they responded by keeping John Mayberry with the big team, and waiving Chris Coste. This makes Paul Bako the current back up to Carlos Ruiz, and makes Marson's September call-up a no-brainer.
Carlos Carrasco (5-8) gets the start Sunday for Lehigh Valley.
Reading's highlights were another good effort from Joe Savery, who is now 12-1 for Reading and surely has earned the start in next Wednesday's All-Star game in Trenton. Vance Worley (6-5) goes Sunday and Mike Stutes (5-5) gets the nod Monday.
Jeremy Slayden is tearing up the Eastern League, did we knew this would happen, didn't we? "Slay" has 25 hits in his 25 games, is hitting .375 with 4 doubles, 5 homers and 20 RBI. Is there any doubt he belongs back in AAA, playing!! Especially if Mayberry stays with the big club. Michael Taylor is also worth of a promotion. Mike has 15 home runs, 65 RBI, a .337 batting average, and 17 steals on top of that!! Oo yeah, the catalyst is up to his old tricks....Quintin Berry is back on a hot streak, igniting the Reading offense. "Q" is 14 for 39 (.359) the last 9 games, and has 32 stolen bases in 39 attempts to lead the Eastern League.
In Daytona Saturday night, the Threshers finally got in another game and Mike Cisco continued his great 2009 campaign going to 6-1, 2.48 for the year in Clearwater's 5-3 win. Cisco went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs, just 1 earned, on 6 hits and a walk, before Carlos Monasterios went 2 perfect frames and Mike Schwimer recorded the save (his 9th) despite giving up 1 run. Mike Durant had a double and a home run (dinger #10), and Joel Naughton added 2 hits of his own as the Threshers improved to 9-6 in the second half.
