Minor League Game of the Day: Arkansas at Frisco
This one could be fun to watch. The Travs go up against the Texas Rangers' AA affiliate, the Frisco Roughriders, with each team's best pitching prospect on the mound. Martin Perez (Texas' #2 prospect overall according to John Sickels) vs Garrett Richards (#5 coming into 2011 per Sickels). Both clubs' leadoff men and centerfielders of the future are also on display. Leonys Martin, the Cuban defector the Rangers acquired last month, has been dominating AA pitching (.347/.438/.589) –– numbers even more impressive than Mike Trout's (.330/.424/.548), until you consider that Trout is three-plus years younger. (On a sidenote, Texas has been reaping a bounty on the international free agent market lately. Reagins recently suggested that the international market is where the action is, but the Angels were not among the 13+ teams to sign free agents when the market window opened this weekend. We'll see.)
