we aren't so lets do a Bulls in the pros....
Believe it or not we have 13 pitchers in the pros.
2 are in the majors (Dan Otero '07 - Cleveland , Austin Adams '12 - Seattle)
3 are in AAA (Kevin Quackenbush '11,  Jimmy Herget '12,  Tommy Eveld '16)
3 are in AA (Brandon Lawson '16, Phoenix Sanders '17,  Ryan Valdes '17 - just promoted 05/27)
5 are in A (Tommy Peterson '15 - IR, Joe Cavallaro '17,  Andrew Perez '18,  Peter Strzelecki '18, Shane McClanahan '18)
Shane McClanahan leads the way with 4W and 48.0IP as well as 9GS, 68K and 30BB
Phoenix Sanders has a teeny 1.40 ERA over 25.2IP with 4SV
Austin Adams is looking sharp in Seattle albeit a small sample size, 2.35ERA over 7.1IP
Overall the active pitchers have thrown 305.2IP pitched and have a 11-19 record with 11 saves and a 4.45ERA

On the hitting side we have 3 exBulls in the pros
Kevin Merrell '17 is in the A's farm system at the AA level and is having trouble making contact at this level hitting 0.228 and a meager OPB of 0.287
Last year's pioneer league MVP Coco Montes '18 is with the Rockies at advance A hitting .240 and an OBP of 0.300
Finally David Villar '18 who is also at the Advanced A level for the San Francisco Giants is hitting 0.262 with an OPB of 0.333
Overall the 3 are hitting 0.241 with 8 HR and an OBP of .297  and a SLG% of 0.358. Their collective OPS is 0.655

For those of you who care I'll try to update again in a month or so.

Good to see Villar has improved since the start of the year. With the Giants about to go full on rebuild he could see a shorter path to the show if he produces. 

I think both Herget and Eveld are gonna get some big league experience before this season ends.

Still just has to find a way to limit walks consistently.

The Rays organization is good at developing Pitchers.  Will be interesting to watch his progression thru the system.
