Minor league updates (16 June 08)

A few minor league updates for some Aussies doing good things:

• Adam Bright is pitching pretty well in the Double-A Texas League for the Tulsa Drillers; posting a 1.78 ERA over 25.1 innings pitched, striking out 20, while walking only 5.
• Brendan Wise has earned a callup to Double-A ball, after having moderate success in Class-A Advanced ball. While in Class A-Advanced, he posted a 1-3 record over 21.1 innings, with a 4.64 ERA. He was promoted to Double-A at the Erie SeaWolves in late May. Since then, he has pitched 9.2 innings, giving up 9 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 4, for an ERA of 2.79.
• Chris Snelling has wasted no time since his return to AAA ball. In his 4 games since landing back in Lehigh Valley, he has gone 5-from-14 (.357) and has also earned a walk. He hasnt produced too many runs or RBIs, but if he keeps hitting like this it should only be a matter of time.
• David Welch has won 6 of his last 10 appearances, taking his record to 8-1, 3.21 ERA and 44 strikeouts over 81.1 innings pitched
