Kottaras a road warrior in AFL
11/11/2005
George Kottaras had one of the more quirky statistics in the Arizona Fall League this season.
At home, the Peoria Javelinas catcher batted .053, with one hit in 19 at-bats. On the road, Kottaras had a .438 average and his only home run. He appeared in two games during the final week of the Arizona Fall League season, both of them at home. The 22-year-old Canadian went hitless in seven at-bats, although he walked and scored a run on Nov. 8 against the Peoria Saguaros.
Four other Padres prospects played for the Javelinas. Here's how they wrapped up their AFL campaigns:
LHP Craig Breslow -- Breslow had pitched scoreless ball in eight of his previous nine outings before this week, when he was scored on in two of three appearances. Mesa got to him for two runs -- one earned -- on Nov. 5, and the Scorpions got a run on two hits in the Nov. 10 season finale.
RHP Jack Cassel -- Cassel had an encouraging start on Nov. 8. He gave up three runs on eight hits in five innings against the Saguaros, but recorded five strikeouts without issuing a walk. The right-hander finished 2-2 with a 4.56 ERA.
LHP Rusty Tucker -- Tucker gave up only two hits in his last three outings, but both of them led to runs. He struck out two of the three batters he faced on Nov. 7 against Grand Canyon and finished the season with a 2-0 record and a 5.02 ERA. Tucker fanned 18 in 14 1/3 innings.
1B Michael Johnson -- Johnson continued to show some power, hitting solo home runs on Nov. 4 against Grand Canyon and on Nov. 9 against Phoenix. In between, he went 1-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored on Nov. 5 against Mesa. He batted .272 with six homers and 18 RBIs.
