(Captip to Farmstros) on the following:
June 8:
JetHawks release CF Josh Flores
JetHawks assign David Duncan to Lancaster from Lexington
Flores, the Astros 2005 4th Round pick, was hitting .211/.304/.278 in 34 games (90ABs), with 23K:12BB. His best season came in 2005 when he split time between Greenville and Lexington, hitting .331/.380/.511 in 64 games and was a Baseball America Rookie League All-Star.
Duncan started 2009 in Lancaster and had a rough time of it, going 0-9 in 10 starts with an 8.51 ERA. In Tri-City and Lexington to close the season, he managed to lower his ERA to a more-respectable 5.73 by season's end. So to sum up, I bet Duncan is crapping his pants about going back to the Cal League.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
