Arizona Fall League recap -- Nov. 11
The Phoenix Desert Dogs pounded the Scottsdale Scorpions, 12-3, in the Arizona Fall League tonight to snap a three-game losing streak.
With seven games remaining in the regular season, the Desert Dogs are 14-11 and in first place in the AFL East Division. They hold a 1 1/2-game lead over the Mesa Solar Sox.
Phoenix Desert Dogs
Score: Phoenix Desert Dogs 12, Scottsdale Scorpions 3 (Box score)
Recap: Designated hitter Josh Bell was 2-for-5 with an RBI double in the Desert Dogs' victory.
Orioles minor league center fielder Matt Angle added a sacrifice fly, a single and two runs scored for Phoenix. Angle also picked up his seventh stolen base in Arizona.
First baseman Brandon Waring was 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly for the Desert Dogs. In nine games during the fall showcase, Waring is batting .257 (9-for-35) with two home runs, nine RBIs and 13 strikeouts.
None of the other Orioles minor leaguers played in tonight's game.
I'm told that Brandon Snyder isn't in Arizona anymore, but there is no reason to panic. The Orioles just feel he has done enough this season. Snyder hit .354 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 17 games.
Comments
If B.Snyder and Josh Bell played corner spots for O's next year, how do you think they'd do? What kind of power and averages? Is it beyond belief?
thanks.

Go Dogs Go
These players are the real deal. Nothing like tearing up the Arizona Fall League.
Do the Orioles take ticket reservations for the 2010 World Series?
If so, how can I reserve mine.

Bell and Snyder could break out this spring and make it a no-brainer for the front office.
I love the idea of having two ROY candidates to start the year in The bigs. If they can hit for power and drive in some runs , they are in the running.

Hello Dean,
Hope you are dry. Awful wet in OC.
Orioles sending Snyder home is probably trying to keep him healthy, don't you think? Looks like the Braves are going to deal this winter. National league pitchers, on average, do not fare well in the AL. Any body stand out?
Take care,.
