NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...
  • The Bulls were rained out last night.
  • Mike Prochaska was promoted to AAA Durham. [Riverwalk Talk]
  • Jason Pridie is 17-38 in the last 9-games. Pridie, the Rays 2nd round pick in the 2002 draft may finally be living up to his talent-level. Prior to the 2006 season, he was selected by the Twins in the Rule V draft despite only 28 games above A-ball. He did make the Twins roster and was returned to the Rays. He was assigned to AA in 2006 and struggled all season hitting .230/.281/.304. He was off to a good, if not spectacular start at AA this season, hitting .290/.331/.441 in 71 games for Montgomery. He was promoted to Durham and he found another gear. He is hitting .325/.367/.506 in 21 games and may have earned himself a September call-up. [OurSports Central]
  • Evan Longoria and Wade Davis were named to Baseball America's mid-season all-star team. [Riverwalk Talk]
