more to come

Arodys Vizcaino’s line from his Double-A debut was not pretty: 7 innings, 4 hits, 5 runs, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts. The young right-hander also hit a batter and threw a wild pitch in the Mississippi Braves’ 14-0 loss to Mobile on Monday. If there was a silver lining in Vizcaino’s outing, it was this: All the damage came in one inning, the second, in which Mobile hit three homers, two by a pair of top-rated Arizona Diamondbacks prospects. Vizcaino, Atlanta’s No. 7 prospect, didn’t allow a hit in the other six innings. Tonight, the M-Braves throw Randall Delgado, the Braves’ No. 3 prospect. He is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA. On Wednesday, lefty Brett Olberholtzer (3-4, 4.03), the No. 9 prospect, gets the call, followed Thursday by J.J. Hoover (2-3, 2.27), the No. 10 prospect, and then Paul Clemens (4-1, 2.08), who checks in at No. 26 in Atlanta’s chart, on Friday This series should provide a good test for the young hurlers. Mobile came in hitting .279 as a team, second in the Southern League, with 253 runs, third in the SL. If the M-Braves can get a few runs, this could be quite a good show.
