Span on a tear in the AFL
11/04/2005
What a span Denard Span is on.
Over an eight-game hitting streak dating back to Oct. 24, the 21-year-old outfielder has gone 15-for-34 to raise his batting average 83 points to a healthy .318. The recent stretch is easily Span's best period with the Grand Canyon Rafters.
The past week hasn't been too shabby for the Twins' five other prospects. Here's how they fared:
1B Garrett Jones -- Jones has put together a five-game hitting streak, with three of the multi-hit variety to lift his batting average to .289. He also broke a 12-game homer drought with a solo shot on Nov. 3 against the Javelinas. Overall, Jones has five homers and 21 RBIs in 20 games.
RHP Travis Bowyer -- Bowyer has not enjoyed much success out of the Grand Canyon bullpen recently. The 24-year-old has seen his ERA soar to 9.45 by giving up runs in four of his last five games, including a loss in a 4-3 defeat to the Saguaros on Oct. 29. On a positive note, he tossed two scoreless frames against Mesa on Nov. 1.
LHP Ricky Barrett -- It was a tough week for the 24-year-old reliever, with two losses in three appearances. Barrett gave up three runs in one inning in a 5-2 loss to the Mesa Solar Sox on Oct. 28. On Nov. 3, he was charged with four runs -- one earned -- in one inning in a 12-6 loss to the Javelinas.
LHP Glen Perkins -- Perkins worked two solid outings but didn't figure in a decision. He allowed two runs on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts in five innings on Oct. 28 against Mesa. He followed that up with three runs on eight hits in five innings on Nov. 3 against the Javelinas.
3B Matt Moses -- Moses went 2-for-12 with two runs scored in three games and is batting .231.
