Jays prospects honing skills in AFL
The Arizona Fall League continued to mystify the Peoria Saguaros and their players from the Blue Jays organization. Most batters struggled to find consistency as the Saguaros limped to a 1-5 record over the past week.On the other hand, two of Toronto's better pitching prospects showed marked improvement this week. Here is a rundown of how each of the Blue Jays' six prospects fared:
RHP Stephen Andrade -- After getting off to a rocky start, Andrade settled in during his second week in the AFL. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed just one run over five innings last week, including a sterling performance Oct. 13 in which he fanned seven batters while tossing three no-hit innings against Grand Canyon.
RHP Bubbie Buzachero -- The 24-year-old righty had an up-and-down week for the Saguaros. Buzachero sandwiched a pair of outings in which he did not give up an earned run around an Oct. 15 appearance in which he allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while retiring just two batters.
C Erik Kratz -- Kratz saw limited playing time this week and went hitless in five plate appearances over three games.
LF Adam Lind -- Lind continued to struggle in his second week, going 1-for-12 with one RBI in four games.
C Guillermo Quiroz -- In an uneventful week, Quiroz went 2-for-8 in a pair of starts and struck out in a pinch-hit appearance Oct. 15.
2B Ryan Roberts -- It was feast or famine for Roberts this week as he collected two hits in three of his five games, but went hitless in the other two. His best night of the stretch was Oct. 15 against the Javelinas. He went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored.
