The Bulls Ace from last season will be back home in the Tampa Bay Area next week with the Daytona Tortugas (Reds Advanced-A club) of the Florida State League. Daytona will be at the Clearwater Threshers Tuesday (April 19th), Wednesday (20th), and Thursday (21st). They'll be playing at Steinbrenner Field against the Tampa Yankees Friday (22nd), Saturday (23rd), and Sunday (24th). Tickets are more than reasonably priced.

I'm hoping to catch him pitching at the Tuesday or Thursday games. BTW, Tuesday berm seats are a buck at Bright House Field in Clearwater. Hot dogs, draft beers, soft drinks, and other goodies are also just $1. I mean, if you need another reason to go ....... :D

Nice....was just wondering about his progress towards the big leagues.  Very talented.

Jimmy pitched the 8th inning in a 1-0 loss last night. He gave up a bunt single, struck out one, and got fly outs from the other two batters he faced. 

It appears the Reds are setting him up to be a late inning reliever and closer. That's primarily what he did in Billings last summer. Daytona has used him in five games. He's pitched a total of 6 innings this season, giving up 1 run and 4 hits. He has 1 save, struck out 10, walked none, and has an ERA of 1.50.
