In his Notes at MLB.com, Spencer Fordin talks about Carlos Tosca's suspension (say it, don't spray it) and Mike Maroth's losses (thank goodness Brian Kingman's 15 minutes is up) but also lists the Howard Webster Award winners:
Syracuse - Simon Pond
New Haven - Alexis Rios
Dunedin - Jesse Harper
Charleston - Rodney Medina
Auburn - Vito Chiaravalloti
Pulaski - Robinzon Diaz
Pringamosa - Edward Rodriguez
Congratulations to all, especially B.C.'s own Simon Pond, a minor league free agent signing who has thrived in the Jays system. Elsewhere in the playoffs, Russ Adams (4-for-6, two doubles, a triple, three runs), Anthony Sanders (three doubles) and Dominic Rich (two doubles, two walks) supported David Bush's terrific start (a 3-hitter, 2 BB, 2 HBP in 7 IP) for the Ravens. Auburn lost 3-2 to Williamsport, as Shaun Marcum surrendered the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. It rained -- a lot -- in Florida.
There's lots of other baseball news, but no time to share it with you; it's a work day for me and there's a persistent little dog demanding to be walked. Talk about whatever's on your mind.
