Toledo 1 Louisville 3
Enrique Gonzalez had a nice start allowing 3 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits, a walk, and 6 strike outs in 6 innings. Daniel Schlereth allowed 2 hits and 2 walks but fanned 3 and nobody crossed home plate on his watch. Offensively Ben Guez led the way with a double.

Bowie 5 Erie 3
Audy Ciriaco homered. Josh Burrus had 2 hits and a walk. Duane Below gave up 2 homers amongst 6 hits in 3 innings. It was another short outing for Below who is coming off of TJ surgery.

Clearwater 2 Lakeland 6
Brayan Villarreal continues to shine. He surrendered a solo homer, but he also fanned 9 and walked only 1. He has 26 strike outs and 2 walks in 15.1 innings this year. Billy Nowlin doubled and singled. Daniel Fields added 2 hits, a walk, and 2 stolen bases.

West Michigan 2 Dayton 5
Jamie Johnson went 3 for 3 with a walk and his OBP sits at .475. Mike Gosse added 2 hits and Wade Gaynor drove in 2 runs. Giovany Soto allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, no walks, and 3 K’s.

In other Whitecaps news, Jacob Turner’s start last night was pushed back due to forearm stiffness which doesn’t sound serious. Then again the organization has been down playing the Cody Satterwhite situation as well.

Toledo 4 Louisville 1
Don’t look now, but Armando Galarraga is dealing. He pitched 7 shut out innings and allowed 3 hits while walking none and fanning 6. That brings his K/BB ratio to 18:1. Casper Wells brought the thump with 2 homers, a single, and a walk. Jeff Frazier added a homer and Brennan Boesch and Danny Worth both had 2 singles.

Bowie 2 Erie 7
Wilkin Ramirez singled, tripled, and walked. Audy Ciriaco assumed third base duties and picked up 2 hits, a walk, and 2 stolen bases. Lauren Gagnier struck out 7 and walked 1 in 7.2 innings of 2 hit ball.

Brevard County 3 Lakeland 5
Mark Sorensen allowed 2 runs (1 earned) in 6 innings with no walks and 3 K’s. I missed Daniel Fields getting added to the Flying Tigers roster (presumably when Guez took Clete’s spot in Toledo), but he picked up a triple today (pictured above) while manning centerfield. Kody Kaiser went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles.

West Michigan 0 Dayton 3
Jamie Johnson, Wade Gaynor, and Jordan Lennerton each singled accounting for the totality of the Whitecaps offense. Victor Larez managed to allow just 1 run on 6 hits and 1 walk in 5.2 innings despite not recording a strikeout.

Draft Deadline Stuff
UPDATE: The Detroit News notes that the Tigers signed 30th round pick James Robbins, a lefty power bat from Washington who gave up a commitment to WSU

UPDATE: BA says the Fields deal is $1.6 million

UPDATE: Keith Law says the Andrew Oliver deal is $1.495 million

UPDATE: Baseball America has the details on Jacob Turner’s deal. It’s a big league deal with a $4.7 million bonus. Total value could hit $7 million depending on when he reaches the big leagues

UPDATE: The Tigers get Daniel Fields per Jason Beck – 7 figure bonus. Big, big get and he’s a top 10 prospect in the system now.

UPDATE: Peter Gammons says that GMs have said the Tigers have inked Turner ($6.7 million) and Oliver ($1 million) but that the league office is holding the announcements.

Jason Beck writes that Turner/Oliver/Fields all had physicals this morning.

It is an off day for the current big leaguers, but the Tigers will be spending the day trying to beat the midnight deadline to bring some big league hopefuls into the fold. The Tigers have yet to sign their top 2 picks, Jacob Turner and Andrew Oliver, who are both rep’d by Scott Boras. Also on the radar are 6th round pick Daniel Fields, 8th round pick Craig Fritsch, 12th round pick Matt Thompson, and 15th round pick Mark Appel among others.

I’ll try and keep this updated at various points throughout the day as information comes in. In the meantime here are some links from the local beats:
