BBDP April 14th: Nuding is the new Tebowing

Posted on April 14, 2012 by Greg Corcoran

BBDP MVP: Zachary Nuding Just kidding, but that would be entertaining wouldn't it? Nuding is a lesser known pitcher in High-A Tampa with great stuff. He was originally brought in as a reliever, but his repertoire was so good the coaches felt they had to give him a shot in the rotation. Last year he had ...

BBDP April 6, 2012: Dellin Dealin’, Campos Cruisin’

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Greg Corcoran

BBDP MVP: Dellin Betances Triple-A Empire State vs. Lehigh Valley. L 5-6. L: Venditte (0-1) Brandon Laird: 1/4, RBI (.143) Colin Curtis: 1/4, K (.143) Francisco Cervelli: 0/4 (.000). I'm worried he might have taken this demotion really hard. Dellin Betances: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, BB, 6 K (3.6 ERA). Excellent outing. The lack of walks is encouraging, ...
