Checking up on the Ex's Volume III


Another quick look at some of the folks we've parted ways with in 2013:

Xavier Cedeno (LHP), Nationals - Cedeno has made a pair of appearances since getting recalled from AAA by the Nationals last week. He's thrown 1 1/3 scoreless innings and earned a hold against the Rockies on Thursday.

Rick Ankiel (CF), Mets - Ankiel was designated for assignment last week, and after electing to be a free agent, he has now been let go by two of the five worst teams in baseball this season. In 45 games, Ankiel has fanned 60 times while batting just .188. But hey, hard to forget that 3-run homer he hit on Opening Day.

Chris Wallace (C), Indians - Wallace is back in AA after being reassigned on Thursday. Wallace hit .280 in 18 games for the Columbus Clippers and now rejoins the Akron Aeros. In 8 games with Akron earlier this year, Wallace was 11 for 30 (.367).

Jake Goebbert (RF), Athletics - Goebbert is hitting .285 in 64 games with 11 homers and 45 runs batted in for the AA Midland RockHounds. He's hitting .338 with runners in scoring position. 

Tyler Greene (SS), White Sox - Greene is hitting .400 (10/25) and has hit safely in all 7 games he's appeared in for the Charlotte Knights since his demotion. In 15 AAA games this season, Greene is batting .333 with 5 stolen bases and an on base percentage of .400. 

Nate Freiman (1B), Athletics -  Freiman continues to punish left-handed pitching this year, batting .329 against lefties compared to just .115 versus righties. After hitting just .148 in April, Freiman hit .351 in May and is hitting  a respectable .286 in June. On the year Freiman is hitting .273 with a pair of homers (both coming against the Astros) and 16 runs batted in. 

Mike Kvasnicka (RF), Twins - Kvasnicka came off the DL this week and has appeared in 4 games for the Ft. Myers Miracle batting .308 (4/13) with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Gonzalo Sanudo, the pitcher he was traded for, debuted for the Corpus Christi Hooks on Monday.

Sam Demel (RHP), Yankees - In 22 games for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, Demel has an ERA of 1.41 and he's allowed just 22 hits in 32 innings while fanning 38 and holding opponents to a .185 batting average. He's 1-1 and has 1 save. 

C.J. Fick (RHP), Rockies - Fick was released by the Astros this week after posting a 5.23 ERA in 16 games for Oklahoma City. The Rockies wasted little time in picking him up and in his first appearance for the AAA Colorado Springs Sky Sox, he tossed 2 shutout innings and earned a save.
