Jays prospects finish their AFL seasons
11/11/2005At this time of year, most birds are flying south to avoid the harsh winter months.
Six Toronto prospects are heading in the opposite direction after completing their six-week stay in the Arizona Fall League. The Blue Jays saw Stephen Andrade became one of the most dominating relievers in the league, while outfielder Adam Lind righted himself after an early slump.
Here is how all six Blue Jays farmhands fared during the final week of the AFL campaign:
RHP Stephen Andrade -- Andrade was unhittable during the last week, retiring all six batters he faced in two appearances. He struck out four, bringing his total to 23 in just 13 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander limited opponents to a .170 average and had a 4.15 ERA that was skewed by one bad outing.
RHP Bubbie Buzachero -- Buzachero saw a lot of action this week, pitching four innings over three appearances and taking the loss in two of those games. The Tennessee native finished 0-3 with one save and a 5.30 ERA in 13 AFL outings.
C Erik Kratz -- Kratz got into just one game this week, going hitless in four trips to the plate on Nov. 8 against the Peoria Javelinas. The 25-year-old backstop batted .192 in 16 games with two RBIs.
LF Adam Lind -- Lind hit safely in four of his last five games, including a 2-for-5 night with two RBIs and two runs scored on Nov. 7. After collecting just two hits in his first 10 AFL games, Lind finished the season with a .238 average, one home run and 10 RBIs.
C Guillermo Quiroz -- The 23-year-old Venezuelan backstop fared well during the final week of the season, getting hits in two of three games. On Nov. 7, he went 2-for-5 with his lone AFL home run. Quiroz ended up batting .294 in 15 games.
2B Ryan Roberts -- Roberts finished his AFL season on a rough note, going 2-for-12 in his last four games. Both his hits came against the Javelinas on Nov. 8, when he went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
