Numbers deceiving for Breslow
11/04/2005
Craig Breslow has been one of the Javelinas' most reliable relievers for a couple of weeks, but his overall numbers still are skewed by the eight runs he gave up in two innings during his first three appearances.
Breslow had a streak of seven straight scoreless outings snapped on Nov. 1, when he allowed a run in a one-inning stint against the Saguaros.
Since Oct. 14, Breslow has surrendered that one run in 8 2/3 innings covering nine outings, yet his ERA was 7.59 as of Nov. 3. He has 11 strikeouts and two walks. Breslow and four other Padres prospects are playing for the Javelinas. Here's how they fared during the past week:
RHP Jack Cassel -- Cassel gave up two runs in four innings and was the hard-luck loser as the Javelinas were beaten by the Saguaros, 5-0, on Nov. 2. Cassel escaped some jams as he gave up six hits and four walks. The loss evened his record at 2-2.
LHP Rusty Tucker -- Tucker got his second win of the season with two scoreless innings against the Saguaros on Oct. 28. His ERA after that game was 2.70, but it went up to 4.76 after he yielded two runs in two-thirds of an inning to the Desert Dogs on Oct. 31 and one run in two-thirds of an inning to the Saguaros on Nov. 2.
C George Kottaras -- Kottaras has more than doubled his batting average in the last four games he's played. He went 6-for-12 in that span to go from .125 to .286. One day after hitting his first home run, Kottaras went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs as the Javelinas defeated the Saguaros, 7-0.
1B Michael Johnson -- Johnson hit three home runs in one game on Oct. 25. He didn't get three hits in all of last week. He went four games and 13 at-bats without a hit, dropping his batting average to .282 before ripping a single against the Saguaros on Nov. 2. Johnson walked three times and scored twice in a 7-0 victory over the Saguaros on Oct. 28.
