Around the Farm: November 2

Here is a quick recap of how the players in the Cleveland Indians' system did in fall/winter league action on Tuesday November 2nd:

• Roberto Perez - C, Peoria Javelinas: 0-for-4, 2 K. Clearly overmatched to be facing upper level pitching, but he still continues to impress with his defense and the way he defends and handles a staff. He gunned down the only runner who attempted to steal.
• Jason Kipnis - 2B, Peoria Javelinas: 2-for-5, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI, K, SB. It's been a brutal three weeks for Kipnis offensively out in Arizona, but he comes through with one of his most productive games to date in the AFL.
• Cord Phelps - 3B, Peoria Javelinas: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, K, E. The third base experiment continues on, but now his 7th fielding error in 10 games.
• Bryan Price - RP, Peoria Javelinas: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R/ER, 1 BB, 0 K. Price once again allows a run, which is the 5th time in 6 outings he has allowed at least one run.
• Jerad Head - LF, Gigantes de Carolina: 0-for-1, HBP. Head was lifted in the top of the 5th inning after he grounded out in the 4th inning. He was also hit by a pitch earlier in the game, so it looks like he was removed from the game due to injury.
• Ezequiel Carrera - CF, Navegantes del Magallanes: 0-for-3, R, BB. After a hot start in the Venezuelan Winter League, he is now has just 2 hits in his last 15 at bats.
• Luis Valbuena - SS, Cardenales de Lara: 0-for-4. Valbuena once again in a funk, this time out in Venezuela where he is now hitless in his last five games (0-for-17).
