"Pirates target Rockies minor-leaguer —Pittsburgh is planning to select right-handed pitcher Craig Baker out of the Colorado system in the Rule V draft. Converted to a reliever after he signed in pro ball, Baker has spent three full years at the Single-A level — including the last two with Modesto — averaging four strikeouts per one walk, and 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings.In 2009, he led the California League in appearances (62) and saves (33), giving up one home run in 62 2/3 innings. –Tracy Ringolsby________________________________________________________________________________________Here is a link to Craig Baker at Baseball Referenceand hit this really hard for an extensive game log from Fan Graphs on Baker. Baker played on the Scottsdale Scorpions with Tabata.  Here is his AFL stats page.  In his last 10.2IP he gave up 9 hits, 9 runs, 6ER, 2HR, 5BB and 7K.  Nice line kid. Nats take OF Jamie Hoffman from Dodgers"
