Astros prospects heat up in the AFL
11/04/2005
With nine multi-hit games and a .360 batting average, Josh Anderson has undressed AFL pitching. The 23-year-old outfielder wore the costume of a power hitter on Halloween for the Surprise Scorpions, slugging his first homer in a 3-2 loss to the Mesa Solar Sox. He followed that by going 2-for-4 on Nov. 2, but his run-scoring streak ended at four games.
The Astros' other four farmhands had eventful weeks as well. Here's how they fared:
LHP Philip Barzilla -- Barzilla bounced back from his worst appearance with the Surprise with two scoreless outings. He gave up one hit over two frames on Oct. 31 against Mesa and tossed a hitless inning against the Saguaros on Nov. 3.
RHP Taylor Buchholz -- Buchholz hasn't pitched since Oct. 29, when he allowed one run on two hits in four innings against the Mesa Solar Sox. The 24-year-old has had a strong campaign in the AFL, yielding three earned runs in 14 innings.
SS/2B Wade Robinson -- Robinson found the fences with his first homer in the AFL, going back-to-back with Cardinals prospect Gabe Johnson on Nov. 2 against the Phoenix Desert Dogs. He also collected two hits and two runs, but it wasn't enough to fend off a 7-6 loss.
OF Charlton Jimerson -- Jimerson is on a 7-for-15 tear in his last four games. He drove in his first run in eight games with a two-run homer against the Peoria Saguaros on Nov. 3.
