Fort Fragments (Wizards): Cuddyer, Perez, Mercado, Quezada, Pelzer, Kulbecki

  • Michael Cuddyer, the lone Twins player from the Wizards affiliation with Minnesota is likely done for the season after a line drive pegged him during a minor league rehab game. It’s unfortunately because he was expected to provide a boost to the Twin’s playoff run.
  • Oliver Perez continues to befuddle and confuse. He’s always been assocated with unrealized potential, but Oliver Perez has become known as “Big Game Ollie” and seems to come up big when it counts. It just so happens that every game counts right now, and since June 29, Perez is 3-2 with a 1.71 ERA in eight starts. He’s also 7-0 with a 2.28 ERA in games against above-.500 teams.
  • Wade LeBlanc and Kellen Kulbacki are the subjects of a rising star update at Friar Forecast.
  • Angel Mercado hit the first home run of the Wizards’ season. He now leads the Northwest League in dingers while playing with Eugene. Alex Gabriel has a nice (subscriber only) for MadFriar’s profile of the slugger who is also near the top of the team in total bases and slugging percentage.
  • Speaking of MaFriars, John Conniff has posted his interviews with Andy Parrino and Jackson Quezada.
  • Wynn Pelzer and Kellen Kulbecki have been honored by the Padres organization as Pitcher and Player of the Month (hat tip to Friar John).
  • Finally, Geoff from Ducksnorts spotlights Lake Elsinore; which includes many former Wizards.
