2009 Quad Cities River Bandits Hitting Stats

Do-stats, do-stats, do-do-stat stat stats.

The parallels between Stock and Vasquez’s 2008 and 2009 are sort of alarming, which makes me a little gun-shy about jumping full force onto the Robert Stock bandwagon. Stock will still probably rank pretty high on my list, but only because the system has thinned out so much because of trades.

For Steve Dillard, Demotions Are Never Easy

It's one thing to tell a player he has earned a promotion, but to tell one that he has been demoted or released does not rank near the top of the most enjoyable tasks Steve Dillard has as manager of the Quad-Cities River Bandits.

Quad Cities River Bandits Roster Roulette

The Quad Cities River Bandits of the Midwest League made a flurry of moves on Tuesday as the St. Louis Cardinals’ seventh-round draft pick signs.
The Birdhouse

In 2008, Cardinals' top pick Brett Wallace jumped straight from the college ranks to the Quad Cities and exploded onto the scene, finishing last season in Double-A and currently knocking on the door of the big leagues.

Quad Cities River Bandits Acivate Alex Castellanos, Send Down Guillermo Toribio & Andres Rosales, Release Brett Lilley & Paul Cruz, Etc...

Quad-Cities made a flurry of roster moves. Before the game, Castellanos was activated from the disabled list, and infielder Guillermo Toribio was reassigned to short-season Batavia. After the game, infielder Brett Lilley and outfielder Paul Cruz were released, and pitcher Andres Rosales was reassigned to Batavia. Third baseman Matt Carpenter, a 13th-round pick from TCU currently hitting .484 at Batavia and outfielder Kyle Conley, a seventh-round pick from Washington, will join Quad-Cities.

Pitcher Nick McCully, ninth-round pick from Coastal Carolina, is with the Bandits but has not been activated.
