- New York signed superstar Kevin Terry to a 5 year 66 million dollar extension. If you were 'watching' the playoffs you may remember NY was up 3-0 and he was on his way to series MVP, he went down they lost 4 straight. Take that “value” to the bargaining table.

I hate to mention it because the guy is 33 and playing Short-season, but Alejandro Lopez has a 44-game hitting streak for Shady Grove. He was a career .273/.317/399 hitter over his 12 years in the big leagues, including a 2004 All-Star appearance. Now that I DID mention it, the day after the break it ended.

IRON PIG NEWS
- 'IF Andy Alvarado went 12-29 4 HR 7 RBI to win AA POTW. He's hitting .283-14-50. Andy was a 12th round pick in 2012.
- Top pick this year Mike Harper dropped to 0-3 4.35 but has thrown well in 2 of the 3 starts. He's tossed 20.2 IP fanned 20 on 21 Hits, however he has walked 14. Our guys had him slotted at A, or AA. He's just 18, why? Let him master rookie league, dominate even. Then we move him.
- Speaking of, Luis Ornelas might be close to a move up to AAA New Orleans. He starts for Milwaukee today and is 9-3 2.81 in 14 starts over 96 innings with 81 K's and 27 BB, allowing 90 hits. He's 21 in a few months, no need to rush, but if all things break right he may be a candidate for some September innings.
- The guy in front of him at Milwaukee, Elijah Washington, is off to a strong start. Always concerned about starting an amateur at AA regardless of their pedigree. It's the first level you see true major league talent. He's 2-0 3.71 through 4 starts, 26.2 IP 28 H 27 K 9 BB.
