It's August 9th, lets reward our first basemen with a promotion each. Jim Murphy, Darin Ruf, and Matt Rizzotti all desrerve it and it would be excellent if it all happened at once.
We begin Monday's highlights with Murphy tying the Lakewood single season record for home runs with 22. Murph was 2 for 3, with 2 walks, scored 2 and drove 2 in and at .272, 22 HR and 70 RBI, has certainly earned the bump. Carlos Perdomo had 3 hits and drove in 2 runs, and the BlueClaws mounted a great comeback (down 7-3 going to the bottom of the 6) for a 10-7 win over West Virginia.
So Murphy should go to Clearwater and replace Ruf, who hit his 15th home run in a 2-1 Clearwater victory over Daytona. Darin is hitting .319 and driven in 70 runs for the Threshers, and should get the promotion to Reading, where he can step in for Rizzotti. Rizzotti, in turn, should get a look in Lehigh Valley, having hit .286 with 20 HR and 67 RBI for Reading. This would also be a good idea if they plan to call Matt up to the big team when the rosters expand in September.
