Originally I was just going to post about Zach Walters and update you on what he did, but I figured I should turn this into an update on all the players who have played with South Bend that are now on different teams.
Keon Broxton - .233, 4 HR, 27 RBIs, 20 SB, but 96 K's with high-A Visalia.
Raul Navarro - .197, 0 HR, 8 RBIs in 33 games with short-season A Yakima.
Zach Walters - Went 1-for-3 in his debut with the high-A Potomac Nationals yesterday.
Brian Budrow - 4-2, 5.35 ERA in 20 relief appearances for high-A Visalia.
Enrique Burgos - 3-3, 7.07 ERA in 8 starts for rookie Missoula. 38 K's in 35.2 IP.
David Holmberg - 2-2, 5.01 ERA in 6 starts for high-A Visalia. 28 K's in 32.1 IP.
Greg Robinson - 0-4, 6.75 ERA in 13 relief appearances for short-season A Yakima.
Dan Taylor - 0-0, 4.73 ERA in 6 appearances (1 start) for high-A Visalia. 12 K's in 13.1 IP.

Holmberg Update
Former Silver Hawks pitcher David Holmberg made his first start with Visalia last night, and it was met with mixed results.
He gave up five runs in 5.1 innings, but three of those runs were players that he put base who scored after he turned it over to the bullpen.
MiLB.com has a full recap of his outing here.

Today's Roster Move - June 30th
It's official, David Holmberg has been moved up to Visalia. Here's the move:
LHP David Holmberg promoted to high-A Visalia.
RHP Victor Capellan joins team from high-A Visalia.
Analysis: Holmberg was simply dominant, and this is a well-deserved promotion. While it stinks for the Silver Hawks, it is certainly good for him and we all wish him the best. I have a strong feeling we'll see him again on TV someday. He was simply that good.
Capellan has struggled with the Rawhide this year, but had decent numbers with them last season and great stats with South Bend in 2009. He is a reliever though, so the Silver Hawks will have to figure out who will fill Holmberg's spot in the rotation.

Keep Pitching Well, Keep Doing Interviews
David Holmberg is on a roll. You all know that because I've spent a lot of time talking about his current scoreless innings streak (which is officially 34 innings according to MiLB, but if you count every out he's recorded since giving up a run, it's the equivalent of 35 innings). Anyhow, since he keeps pitching shutout after shutout, he keeps getting interviewed by MinorLeagueBaseball.com.

All-Star Thoughts
I'm sure by now you've heard the announcement or seen it on www.silverhawks.com that the Silver Hawks will be sending six players to the Midwest League All-Star Game.
The players that made the team are listed below with a few of my comments:
Yazy Arbelo - Not a surprise that Arbelo got the starting nod at first base. He leads the league in homers, RBIs, extra base hits, slugging percentage, and total bases. He has been an absolute beast at the plate and deserves the starting honors.
Matt Helm - Some might be a bit surprised by this, but he has just been the model of consistency at the plate. The average has hovered in the .270 - .300 range all season long, and he has been a RBI machine, particularly with two outs
Ender Inciarte - Again, perhaps a slight surprise given that he didn't start the year with South Bend, but with an average over .300, solid defense, and good speed, Inciarte was a logical candidate for a reserve outfielder.
Zach Walters - Speaking of consistent players, how about Walters? Just plugging away with a .300+ average, six homers, and 36 RBIs to rank first or second on the team in most offensive categories. Not only that, he can play second, third, short, and DH, shining at all positions.
David Holmberg - You might not have guessed it when Holmberg was 0-3, but he is certainly deserving of an all-star nomination now that he is 5-3 with a 3.14 ERA. A bulldog on the mound, Holmberg gives the Silver Hawks a strong chance of winning every time to the hill.
Tyler Green - Another player who has had a great start to the season, despite missing some time on the DL. Even more impressive is when you factor in that this is his first season in professional baseball.
And a few notes on some guys that could have made it, but didn't for various reasons:
Mike Freeman - Started his hot streak way too late to make the All-Star team, but if they were voting again now, he'd had a good chance of being elected.
Raywilly Gomez - Catchers don't get a lot of publicity, especially those without a lot of power. However, Gomez has a great approach at the plate and routinely puts the bat on the ball.
Patrick Schuster - Same numbers of wins and the same ERA as David Holmberg, yet Schuster gets left behind. Arguably one of the bigger snubs on the team.
Dan Taylor - If he didn't have the one start where he allowed four earned runs in 4.0 innings, Taylor would be 2-1 with a 0.71 ERA while holding opponents to a .106 batting average. Translation: ALL STAR.
Blake Cooper/Jeremy Erben/Mike Bolsinger/Eury De La Rosa - Four members of the bullpen from the start of the season with phenomenal numbers, but unfortunately just not enough room on the team to include them.

Holmberg featured in MiLB.com Article
After last night's game, my cell phone started ringing while I was in the postgame show. I didn't have to look at who was calling, because there was no doubt in my mind that a 212 area code would show up on the caller ID. That's the area code for New York City, which is where Minorleaguebaseball.com has their operations.
The reason I knew it was MiLB.com calling is because they always call me when a Silver Hawks player has a spectacular game. Obviously, David Holmberg was awesome last night, striking out 12 batters in 7.0 innings.
After the game, I called MiLB.com back, took down a writer's name and number, and then headed to the bus to hand David Holmberg the information. He called when the team got back to the hotel, and the end result is this article about his excellent performance last night.

Edwin Jackson Traded from Diamondbacks to White Sox
Just a few days after dealing Dan Haren, the Diamondbacks traded away another starting pitcher. Edwin Jackson was dealt to the White Sox for starting pitcher Daniel Hudson, the third ranked prospect in the Sox' organization according to Baseball America, and 19 year old left-handed pitcher David Holmberg.
Jackson did throw a no-hitter on June 25, but the season overall has been a bit of a struggle for the righty. Even with the no-no, Jackson is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA. There is speculation that the Sox will trade Jackson to the Nationals in a deal for Adam Dunn, but we'll see what happens before tomorrow's trade deadline.
Holmberg was selected in the 2nd round of the 2009 draft by the White Sox. So far this season, Holmberg is 1-1 with a 4.46 ERA in eight games started for Great Falls of the Pioneer League (same league that Missoula plays in). Holmberg was rated as the eighth best prospect in the White Sox' organization according to Baseball America.
