Matt Garza promoted to AAA

[Members Only Jackets]

RHP Matt Garza, the 22-year-old Fresno State product who was the Minnesota Twins' 1st round selection in the 2005 Draft, has been promoted to Rochester in the Triple-A International League. The 6'4"/190 lbs. hurler was little short of sensational in his ten Double-A starts in New Britain. He ends his stint with the 2006 Rock Cats with a 6-2 W-L record, an ERA of 2.51, an opponents' BA of .190, and a K/BB ratio of 68/14. Despite joining the Rock Cats some six weeks into the 2006 Season, Garza was a near unanimous selection to the 2006 Eastern League All-Star team and, indeed, tossed a scoreless inning in last night's Mid-Summer Classic in Altoona, PA. He will immediately join the Rochester rotation.


YEAH!

Hey, as long as he keeps producing, keep promoting him.

I'd be shocked if he wasn't promoted in September, there is NO ONE (who is any good) blocking him.
