I’ll be providing statistics from the players in the Orioles’ minor league system every Thursday for the rest of the season, so make sure to check O’s on Deck for future information. Please note that I’m not offering any type of analysis on the prospect status of these players. These reports are designed to give fans an idea of how the competitors in the system are performing.

Here is an update, through Wednesday’s games, on the players in the organization who are with West Oahu in Hawaii Winter Baseball:

Tim Bascom, RHP – The 23-year-old right-hander struggled in Wednesday’s start against Waikiki. Bascom picked up his second loss of the winter after giving up seven runs (five earned) and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked two hitters and had one strikeout in the game. The Orioles’ fourth-round pick in the 2007 draft is 1-2 with a 6.48 ERA in five starts for West Oahu. He has 12 strikeouts and seven walks in 16 2/3 innings in Hawaii.

The 24-year-old utility player had his first home run of the season against North Shore on Oct. 19. He was 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored against Waikiki during Wednesday’s game. After a slump to start the season, Crancer is now hitting .220 with one home run and five RBIs in 12 games.
