Down on the Farm – Beresford, M Kennelly, Lamb promoted to AAA
Cameron Lamb
Three Aussies have been promoted to AAA following the 2013 Spring Training. James Beresford (Twins), Matt Kennelly (Braves) and Cameron Lamb (Astros) are now just a heartbeat away from The Show. Both James and Matt got some limited playing time with the Majors during the spring.
Heat’s Lamb was picked up by the Astros in the Minor League (AAA) phase of the Rule V draft from the Giants. He must remain on the AAA roster for the entire season this excluding any disabled list trips. If Cameron fails to be effective he will be sent back through waivers and offered back to his original team.
Unfortunately for Matt he starts the season on the DL after he injured his hand whilst attempting to bunt in a Spring Training game last week.

Heat’s Cameron Lamb goes to the Astros in Rule V draft
Heat’s Cameron Lamb was picked up by the Astros in the Minor League (AAA) phase of the Rule V draft from the Giants today. Cameron must remain on the AAA roster for the entire season this excludes any disabled list trips. If Cameron fails to be effective he will be sent back through waivers and offered back to his original team. He will be closely watched during Spring Training.
This is what the Astros said about Cameron:-
A fairly highly touted international signing out of Australia in 2007, Lamb has consistently struggled with injuries as a minor leaguer. He had Tommy John surgery in 2008 and has had trouble getting his feet under him since, but he settled into a bullpen role in 2012, though it saw him throw just 25.2 innings. He showed good command and didn’t allow a single home run while posting excellent ground ball numbers, but it’s very difficult to judge him based on a sample of that size. There are things to like here, but it’s very difficult to determine what exactly the Astros have here. He’s a reclamation project, but one worth taking on.

His record since coming off rehab is W2-1 and 2.42ERA.

Moylan making progress; Lamb loses tough one; Bishop
Cameron Lamb loses despite quality outing
Peter Moylan continues to produce scoreless innings at AAA hopefully in readiness for a September call up. Today the Gwinnett Braves rallied from a 4-0 deficit to win on a loaded bases walk off single in the 10th over Syracuse 5-4. Pete played his part throwing a scoreless 8th, facing 4 allowing 1 walk with two fly balls and a strike out. That consistency seems to be surfacing.
Cameron Lamb lost the game in his 1st of 5 innings for Salem-Kaiser who were shut out 3-0 by Spokane. In his 1st, Cameron surrendered 2 runs on 2 hits and then produced 4 outstanding scoreless innings, facing the minimum 12 batters.
However, the damage had been done and with no offensive support Cameron wore the loss despite an otherwise quality performance. Cameron is now W1-1 and 2.08ERA.
Beau Bishop had a good day for the GCL Red Sox going 2-4 against the Rays, collecting a walk and scoring 2 runs.
