This marks Garza’s 2nd stint with the Grizzlies. Garza made 1 appearance in the Pacific Coast League, hurling 3.0 shutout frames May 22 vs. Reno. He returned to the Texas League last Saturday. Garza is 3-0 with a 3.33 ERA in 11 games for the Hooks, striking out 25 against 6 walks 24.1 frames. The opposition is hitting .231 against him. The 24-year-old New Braunfels native was plucked in the 26th round in 2015 out of the University of Oklahoma. TAYLOR MADE: Taylor Jones’ 2 homer night on Wednesday was the first multi-homer game of his pro career. Jones matched his career best by plating 5 runs. The other 5-RBI showing was in his professional debut when he went 2-for-4 with a double and a grand slam for Tri-City on June 17, 2016. Jones, who ranks 6th in Minor League Baseball with a 1.099 OPS, is a staple on the Texas League leaderboard: 1st SLG (.634); T-1st RBI (44); 2nd OBP(.465); T-2nd XH (26); 3rd AVG (.354). The 6-7 slugging first baseman has hit 3 home runs in his last 3 games, and has driven in 10 runs in his last 5 contests. PROLIFIC AT THE PLATE: The Hooks have scored 22 runs on 31 hits in the first 2 games of this series. Last night, Corpus Christi clubbed a season-best 5 home runs and 10 extra-base hits, while matching the 2018-high with 18 knocks and 11 runs scored. The Hooks are hitting .298 with a .371 on-base average, which ranks 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in Minor League Base- ball. Corpus Christi has now scored 8 runs or more in 18 of its 52 games (35%) this year. The Hooks, who boast the top 3 hit- ters in the Texas League (Myles Straw - .371, Randy Cesar - .367, and Taylor Jones - .354), set the pace in the circuit in bat- ting average, runs (297, 5.7 per game), hits (541, 10.4 per game), doubles (107), steals (82), and OBP. HIGHWATER: With a series victory in hand, the Hooks (31-21) enter play tonight a season-best 10 games over .500. Corpus Christi has won 4 in a row, and 6 of its last 8 contests. This marks the club’s first road series win since sweeping Frisco in a 4- game set at Dr Pepper Ballpark April 19-22. HAIL RANDY!: Randy Cesar, who has belted 2 home runs in his last 3 games, enters action this evening riding a Texas League best 22-game hit streak. Cesar stands among the circuit leaders in batting average (.367, 2nd), hits (66, 2nd), 4th slug- ging percentage (.539, 4th), and RBIs (35, 5th). He is also tied for 7th in Minor League Baseball in hits, while ranking 9th in batting average. Cesar has hit safely in 32 of his last 34 games. During this 21-game surge, Cesar is batting .429 with 4 doubles, 1 triple, 5 home runs, 23 RBIs, and a .453 OBP.

Wrenn is batting .390 with 13 runs, 4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs, 8 RBIs and 6 steals in his last 11 games. During this surge, the 23-year-old from Marietta, GA has raised his season average from .237 to .272. ENTERING THE FRAY: OF Gilberto Celestino went 0-for-4 in his Double-A debut last night. Celestino joined Corpus Christi last Saturday from extended spring training.

  • A's News Clips, Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Oakland A's Sign Cuban
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Oakland A's sign Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The A's added another twist to their curious offseason Monday, agreeing to a four-year, $36 million contract with Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Cespedes -- hyped as having excellent power, good speed and a strong arm -- was considered the top hitter on the international market this winter. But he couldn't be signed until he established residency in the Dominican Republic after defecting from Cuba. Cespedes, 26, still needs to obtain a worker's visa and pass a physical before his deal is completed. His agent, Adam Katz, would not speculate on whether Cespedes will be in training camp when A's position players report Feb. 24. Pitchers and catchers report Saturday. The A's hope they finally have filled a need for a young power-hitting outfielder. The right-handed Cespedes hit 33 homers in 90 games last season in the Cuban National Series, Cuba's premier league. He hit .458 in six games during the 2009 World Baseball Classic. "This kid is a physical presence," A's player personnel director Billy Owens told MLB Network Radio. "We've actually scouted him the last four or five years in international competition, and he blows you away with sheer physicality, running speed, the power potential." A's general manager Billy Beane declined to comment on Cespedes. It is unknown whether the A's will thrust him into the opening day lineup or give him time in the minors. Their projected outfield, left to right, is Seth Smith, Coco Crisp and Josh Reddick.

  • The Role of Baseball in the Normalization of Cuba-US Relations
    The Role of Baseball in the Normalization of Cuba-US Relations Daniel Añorve Añorve Universidad de Guanajuato Guanajuato, México Abstract: The December, 2014 announcement by Raúl Castro and President Barack Obama regarding the "thaw" of the US-Cuba diplomatic relations opens up new possibilities. Sport, specifically baseball, represents an area of opportunity for the rapprochement of both countries. MLB baseball is increasingly dependent on the inflow of foreign talent, especially on Latin American players. The status of the Cuban player is peculiar and it could normalize as a result of the full normalization of the diplomatic relations. This paper analyzes the economic incentives as well as the existing legal challenges in the US-Cuba interdependent relationship. Finally, the argument suggests that baseball could pave the way for a constructivist approach of other specific US-Cuba relationships, partially replacing the high politics that has dominated the bilateral relationship for more than five decades. Keywods: U.S.-Cuba Diplomatic Relations, Baseball Diplomacy, Constructivism Introduction Different interpretations can be made around the December 17, 2014 announcement made by President Barack Obama’s and Raúl Catro’s announcement, in which they communicated their intention to normalize and re-establish diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States of America. This paper begins with an attempt to explain, theoretically, the thawing of the bilateral US-Cuban relations. A second section discusses what is considered a wide range of bilateral relations between the two countries. It also explains the reason that leads the author to focus on baseball as "the" relationship of study. That relationship, as argued, requires an analysis of the different actors (and interests) involved in baseball.
