Former Tulsa Drillers reliever Pedro Strop helped save the Baltimore Orioles' season on Thursday.
Strop pitched two scoreless innings and picked up the win in Baltimore’s 2-1, 13-inning victory over the New York Yankees in the Game 4 of their American League Division Series. The deciding game is scheduled today (Friday).
Strop, who opened 2008 as the Drillers’ closer before suffering a season-ending injury, was 5-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 70 games during the regular season...
Baseball America’s annual list of the Texas League’s top 20 prospects was released this week.
The Tulsa Drillers had three on the list — third baseman Nolan Arenado at No. 8, shortstop Josh Rutledge at No. 13 and pitcher Edwar Cabrera at No. 18.
The top 10 are: 1. Jurickson Profar, SS, Frisco (Rangers); 2. Oscar Taveras, OF, Springfield (Cardinals); 3. Wil Myers, OF, Northwest Arkansas (Royals); 4. Mike Olt, 3B, Frisco (Rangers); 5. Jonathan Singleton, 1B, Corpus Christi (Astros); 6. Carlos Martinez, P, Springfield (Cardinals); 7, Dan Straily, P, Midland (Athletics); 8. Arenado (Rockies); 9. Trevor Rosenthal, P, Springfield (Cardinals); 10. Rymer Liriano, OF, San Antonio (Padres).
For the most part, I agree with those rankings although I think Rutledge should in the top 10 instead of Liriano. I also think Springfield 2B Kolten Wong is underrated at No. 16. This was the best year for prospects in the Texas League in this century -- it turned out to be a very good year for Tulsa to host the TL All-Star Game.
