Minor League Stats

[klvrdude]

I was interested to see how Brandon McCarthy was doing in the minors. I came across http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com which is 'powered' by mlb.com. Needless to say, it's got a lot of information.

If anyone else has a favorite minor league tracking website I'd be curious to know where.

ps Brandon aint' looking so hot overall, but he did manage to have a decent last outting.

He's not? Less hits than innings pitched, a third again as many k's as innings pitched, a k/bb ratio of 4:1. What exactly is looking bad about him in his four starts?

I use http://www.sports-wired.com most of the time, but that only updates yearly. I might use the MLB-powered site more often now, thanks for the link.

Here are the lines to his last three starts:

Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
April 14th
McCarthy (L, 0-1) 4.2 5 3 3 2 5 1 3.09
April 19th
McCarthy (L, 0-2) 5.1 7 5 5 2 6 0 4.76
April 24th
McCarthy (W,1-2) 6.0 7 2 1 2 8 1 3.91

Yeah, he's getting a lot of K's/IP, but he's not exactly mowing over the competition with a whip ~1.50 and an era ~5.0

I like using minorleaguebaseball.com to track the Tigers minor league teams. The minor league teams just don't get much daily coverage at all here in the local papers.

No reason to worry about a guy like McCarthy yet. His best is likely yet to come.
