The Inland Empire 66ers just emailed me a press release that Angels pitching prospect Mike Piazza was promoted from their High-A California League affiliate to AA Arkansas of the Texas League today.

Piazza has 42 Ks in 35.2 IP and a 2.78 ERA in the high-octane offense Cal League.

Smart kid, very well spoken

Poor kid will never make it to the show with Soth as manager.

He’s got a strong bias against anyone with that name…

reverse psychology

any success on the part of the pitcher diminishes the legacy and uniqueness of the Soth’s youthful nemesis… very heroic tale here…

Well I at least like the sound of that. Here's hoping the kid has a long, successful career.

Plus I like him. He was really cool to my kids last year and gave them both autographs.

OT, a bit: Fabio Mesa-Martinez

Stephen Smith has a blurb about Fabio here and summarized below:

7. Fabio Martinez RHP — Last November I wrote about Fabio:

Martinez was shut down after a July 30 start due to shoulder stiffness, probably due to his bad mechanics, and missed the Kernels’ post-season run. He spent the rest of the season on rehab assignment at the Angels’ minor league complex in Tempe. He pitched again in fall instructional league; I was there for his October 15 start, and he was back to his old bad habits.
Well, Fabio is still at the minor league complex, technically on rehab assignment. The official word is that he’s suffering from shoulder weakness. It’s hoped that he’ll be assigned to an affiliate by July. My guess is it’s either Cedar Rapids or Inland Empire.

I was wondering whatever happened to pitcher, Nick Green after he went to the Brewers farm system. Seems to be a “free agent” nowadays …
