A quick Mavs wrap-up

The Victor Valley Daily Press caught a few different thread in this article from Friday.

But here is the main one, for me at least. Ex-Rattlers have their name bolded.
While the Mavericks promoted several players to Double A this season, they were hampered by the injury bug. Overall, 15 different players spent time on the disabled list, and seven were lost for the season. A few others missed time on a game-to-game basis.

“I think the biggest thing I was disappointed about was the injury always seemed to come when a kid was starting to figure it out,” Mavericks manager Jim Horner said.

Standout players lost for the season included outfielder Carlos Peguero (.299 batting average, 12 HRs and 74 RBIs in 92 games), infielder Leury Bonilla and all-star pitcher Kyle Parker.

The Mavs limped to the finish line in August; they began the month in contention for a California League South Division playoff spot and won their first four games of the month (five straight overall). But they had dropped 19 of 22 entering Friday’s game.
