Simpson stunning for Solar Sox
11/04/2005
MESA, Ariz. -- Allan Simpson of the Mesa Solar Sox has been one of the Arizona Fall League's most effective relievers.
In the past week, the 28-year-old right-hander tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings to raise his season-high streak to 13 innings without allowing an earned run. His four victories lead the league, and opposing batsmen are hitting just .159 against him.
Simpson and six other Reds prospects are continuing their 2005 campaign with the Solar Sox. Here's how the others fared in the week ending Nov. 3:
OF Chris Denorfia: Denorfia has scored at least one run in each of his last seven appearances, increasing his season total to a team-high 18. The 25-year-old center fielder went 7-for-15 to raise his average to .333 on the season.
C Ryan Hanigan: Hanigan collected one hit in seven at-bats, an RBI single against Mesa on Saturday. It was the first run batted in for Hanigan, who is hitting .176 in 34 at-bats while splitting catching duties with the Giants' Justin Knoedler and the Indians' Javi Herrera.
2B Kevin Howard: Although he still leads the team, Howard went 3-for-14 on the week to lower his average 41 points to .355. The 24-year-old has reached base in every game in which he has received a plate appearance.
RHP Luke Hudson: Hudson turned in a mediocre start against Grand Canyon on Friday, allowing two runs on seven hits over four innings in a game Mesa won, 5-2.
RHP Bubba Nelson: After tossing two scoreless innings on Friday to earn his first save, Nelson suffered his worst performance of the season on Monday. The 24-year-old allowed two runs on four hits without retiring a single batter, raising his ERA to 6.39.
3B Joey Votto: The little-used infielder singled twice in eight at-bats, raising his average to a season-high .200.
