A: Major League Baseball created the Arizona Fall League in 1992 to serve as an off-season “graduate school” for top prospects. The AFL often is known as a showcase league because its players have the opportunity to display their skills for baseball scouts, general managers, and farm directors. For baseball fans, it’s a 40-day Valley homestand featuring many of baseball’s elite prospects. Q: What is the genesis of the Arizona Fall League? A: Long-time baseball executive, current special assistant to the president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Phoenix resident Roland Hemond is considered the “Architect of the Fall League.” His dream to create a six-week off-season league for baseball’s top prospects in Arizona each fall became reality when the Arizona Fall League began play in 1992 after he spent two years selling the concept to baseball’s hierarchy — first general managers, then owners. After veteran baseball front-office executive Mike Port shepherded the Fall League through its maiden voyage in 1992, former Cincinnati Reds’ traveling secretary and Triple-A Columbus Clippers’ executive Steve Cobb was hired as the Fall League’s executive director. Q: Who oversees the Arizona Fall League? A: Major League Baseball owns and operates the Arizona Fall League. Cobb has been the executive director since 1993. Major League Baseball’s Arizona Fall League oversight committee is comprised of three team general managers — Josh Byrnes (Diamondbacks), Tony Reagins (Angels), and Mark Shapiro (Indians) — and long-time baseball executive Terry Ryan who currently serves the Twins as special advisor to the general manager. Q: Where is Fall League information available online? A: Visit www.mlbfallball.com for updated Arizona Fall League information. Q: How are the teams assembled? A: Each Major League organization sends seven players to the Arizona Fall League. Five-organization groupings comprise the six AFL teams. The 2008 groupings follow. Q: Where is the Arizona Fall League located? A: The Fall League is housed in the spring-training offices of the Oakland Athletics at Phoenix Municipal Stadium during the Fall League season. Phoenix Municipal Stadium, 5999 E. Van Buren, Phoenix, AZ 85008 Office: 602/681-9362, FAX: 602/681-9363 Q: Who is eligible to play in the Arizona Fall League? A: Roster size is 35 players per team. Each major-league organization is required to provide seven players subject to the following eligibility requirements. All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible provided they are on Triple-A and Double-A rosters no later than August 1. One player below the Double-A level is allowed. Foreign players are allowed as long as the player is not on his native country’s protected player list. No players with more than two years of credited Major League service as of August 31 (including Major League disabled list time) are eligible except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 draft. To be eligible, players on Minor League disabled lists must be activated at least 45 days before the conclusion of their respective seasons. Each team is allotted 20 pitchers, but only 15 are designated “eligible” each game day. No game will exceed 11 innings, the “Robinson Rule.” Games tied after 11 innings will be considered suspended. They will not be made up but statistics will count. Q: What is the league’s schedule? A: The six AFL teams each play a 38-game schedule from October 7-November 22. The third “Rising Stars Game” will be played at Surprise Stadium at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, October 24. The league championship game is scheduled for 12:35 p.m. on Saturday, November 22 at Scottsdale Stadium. Q: Where are the games played? A: The 2008 Fall League will utilize five of the Valley’s outstanding spring-training stadiums. Mesa Solar Sox—Mesa Hohokam Stadium (spring home of the Cubs) Phoenix Desert Dogs—Phoenix Municipal Stadium (spring home of the Athletics) Peoria Javelinas—Peoria Sports Complex (spring home of the Mariners/Padres) Peoria Saguaros—Peoria Sports Complex (spring home of the Mariners/Padres) Scottsdale Scorpions—Scottsdale Stadium (spring home of the Giants) Surprise Rafters—Surprise Stadium (spring home of the Rangers/Royals) Q: What are daily start times? A: First pitch for day games is 12:35 p.m. and 7:05 for night contests: ’08 Arizona Fall League Staff Q: What changes have been made for the Fall League in 2008? Executive Director A: The divisions have been renamed. The American Division and National Steve Cobb Division replace the East Division and West Division. Senior Administrator Joan McGrath Q: Is the designated hitter rule employed in the Arizona Fall League? Director of Baseball Operations A: Yes, the designated hitter is utilized in all Fall League games. Tommy Jones Q: What impact has the Arizona Fall League had on Major League Baseball? Assistants, Baseball Operations A: As the Arizona Fall League stages its 17th season, the contribution the Michael Bouscher league has made to major-league baseball is undeniable.

  • Bullpen Falters After Pitch Count Chases Kluber by Jason
    Bullpen falters after pitch count chases Kluber By Jason Beck and William Kosileski / MLB.com | 12:18 AM ET + 6 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- Michael Fulmer won't pitch in the Midsummer Classic, but he'll settle for winning a duel opposite fellow American League All- Star Corey Kluber. Fulmer's six-plus quality innings and Justin Wilson's five-out save helped the Tigers close out the first half by avoiding a series sweep to the Indians with a 5-3 win Sunday night at Progressive Field. Cleveland heads into the All-Star break at 47-40, up 2 1/2 games on the Twins in the AL Central. Detroit moved within eight games but still has work to do at 39-48 as general manager Al Avila listens to offers ahead of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Kluber and Fulmer (9-6) both allowed a run on three hits over their first five innings. But while Fulmer did it in just 58 pitches, Kluber threw 101, thanks in part to eight strikeouts. Detroit scored three runs in the sixth off the Tribe bullpen, two on Alex Presley's go-ahead double, to move ahead for good. Fulmer entered the seventh with a 5-1 lead and a pitch count of only 71, but four straight hits, including Jose Ramirez's two-run homer, knocked Fulmer out of the game before an out was recorded. Shane Greene retired three straight to escape the jam, then turned the ball over to Wilson, who stranded the bases loaded in the eighth and worked around a single in the ninth for his 10th save.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
