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.

Down on the Farm - 6/9/13
AAA - Omaha 7 Oklahoma City 0
Jarred Cosart's command failed him for a third straight start as he walked 4 hitters in 5+ innings and the RedHawks (33-27) suffered a 7-0 loss at the hands of the Storm Chasers. Oklahoma City managed just 5 hits in the game and a Brett Wallace error led to 4 unearned runs as not much went right for the visitors. Kevin Chapman and C.J. Fick each tossed scoreless innings in relief.
AA - San Antonio 7 Corpus Christi 4
George Springer hit his 18th home run and stole his 18th base, but the Missions rallied for 4 runs against Sergio Escalona in a 7-4 win over the Hooks (38-24). Erik Castro and Jonathan Meyer each homered and Meyer extended his hitting streak to 13 games, but Jonathan Singleton was 0 for 3 dropping his average with the Hooks to .118 and Justin Maxwell took an 0 for 4 and is now hitless in 17 rehab atbats. Nick Tropeano tossed 3 shutout innings in relief and fanned 5 in a losing effort.
Advanced A - San Jose 5 Lancaster 3
Joe Sclafani had 2 more hits and 2 runs batted in, but the JetHawks once again fell to the Giants, this time by a score of 5-3. Brady Rodgers suffered the loss in relief dropping to 5-3 on the year when he allowed 2 runs in the 7th after Lancaster had rallied to tie the game at 3. Delino DeShields was 1 for 3 with a walk, but was caught stealing for the 9th time this season.
Low A - Peoria 9 Quad Cities 1
Jake Westbrook, making a rehab start for the Chiefs, completely overmatched the River Bandits lineup limiting them to 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work as Quad Cities (34-27) was blown out 9-1. Ariel Ovando had an rbi double in 3 trips and Rio Ruiz added a double, but that was about it for highlights in a game that was all Peoria from the outset. Juan Minaya made his first start of the season and suffered the loss allowing 4 runs in 4 innings of work.

The Blaze used a pair of 4-run innings to outslug the JetHawks (9-6) by a score of 9-7.
