Lefthander Chad Girodo has been selected to represent the Jays for the East squad. The 24 year-old has tossed five shutout innings with a WHIP of 0.60 and two strikeouts. Rowdy Tellez hopes to join Girodo on the roster but the slugging first baseman needs to beat out Cubs infield prospect Jeimer Candelario and Tigers outfield prospect Mike Gerber in the Fall Stars Final 2 Vote. Just use the preceding link to vote for Rowdy but if you need more convincing, check out his scouting report on the AFL website. The 20 year-old Tellez has a .909 OPS in 44 at-bats and leads his Salt River Rafters squad with three home runs and 13 runs batted in.
Checking out other Blue Jay performances in the AFL, righty Brady Dragmire has thrown five scoreless frames with a 7-3 K/BB total so far while Justin Shafer has a 1.29 earned run average and a 8-2 K/BB ratio over 7 innings. Jeremy Gabryszwski hasn't fared quite as well with a 1-0 record and a 4.76 ERA over 11 innings in which he has walked four and struck out only five. Roemon Fields has batted .205/.308/.312 in 44 at-bats while stealing seven bases in 11 tries.
