I promise to have some good news later today from Arizona (at least some pictures and some info on some former players), but I did want to post the latest round of released players which has a strong Silver Hawks feel to it unfortunately.
The following players were released this week by the Diamondbacks:
Isaias Asencio - '09 Hawks outfielder
Victor Estevez - '09 and '10 Hawks infielder
Brad Gemberling - '10 Hawks pitcher
Jake Hale - DNP with South Bend
Rafael Quezada - '09 and '10 Hawks pitcher
None of the names are a huge surprise when you consider the adage of age vs. level (basically they are too old to be in A ball still), but it's still sad to see these guys get cut because they are all tremendous people.
Its crazy how fast this all goes. We were just out there and saw each of those guys. Also saw them playing. Such a sad thing, but its part of the minor leagues :(
ReplyDeleteAny idea where Jake might end up. He had a heck of a season last year. Heard he might have been able to make the jump to AA this year.
