Brad Holt made his third appearance of the season on this weeks BA Hot Sheet:


BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Prospect Hot Sheet: Prospect Hot Sheet: Aug. 29

No. 9 BRAD HOLT, RHP

Team: short-season Brooklyn (New York-Penn)
Age: 22

Why He's Here: 0-0, 0.75 ERA, 12 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 15 SO

The Scoop: Holt has been a model of consistency, yielding good reason for his meteoric rise up draft boards this past spring. He is third in the NY-P in ERA and he probably wouldn't even need to make another start in order to finish as the leader in strikeouts. Better yet, Holt is using his breaking ball and his changeup more often.

a little disturbing to see the 65 pitches without getting out of the third.

Also, New Orleans is cancelling their last 2 games because of Hurricane Gustav which is bearing down on NOLA. They'll play a day game tomorrow and call it a season, which means Niese, Parnell, and any other Zeph coming up can join the team in Milwaukee on Monday.
