Daniel Hargrave is on a tear! He's gotten a hit in 8 of his last 9 games, including his first 2 multi-hit games of the season, and is batting .313 with 3 home runs and 2 doubles in that span. Wow! Way to go, Daniel! It looks like the adjustment to the wood bats is coming, and just in time. There are only another couple weeks left in the season, and by showing such a powerful late surge, I do believe Daniel has done enough to get a look next season.
Carver got into a couple of games this week, getting 1 hit in 6 at bats but drawing 2 walks, and getting the on-base percentage above .300. Peley has been getting most of the playing time lately, as Mendez has struggled since his call-up. All 3 catchers are struggling, and it's unclear to me how the mix will look next season.
Holt pitched, and won, at Auburn on August 14, going 7 innings with 3 hits, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. He's now at 4-3, 1.98 ERA, and 69 K in 54 IP. Great start! Holt probably has 3 more starts left: August 22 vs. Lowell, August 27 vs. Oneonta, and September 1 at Aberdeen (and then maybe the finale September 6 vs. Aberdeen, but I'll bet they skip that).
Nate Hall continues to rake, raising his average to .252, with a .357 on base percentatge. Given his horrific start, these are very good numbers. With no home runs in 119 at bats, it's a bit hard to imagine that he'll be picked up by any Major League organization, but hopefully he will earn another year with Ottawa, and a chance to continue to improve hitting with the wood bats.
No news on Jeff Hatcher or Jason Appel.
