The Bucknell grad, who turned 27 last week, has made 18 appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen after being called up following a stellar start in Class AAA.

Daley had a chance to make the big club out of spring training, but was sent to Colorado Springs to start the season. Daley dominated the first few weeks of the season, making the most of his time in the minors, striking out 19 batters in seven games, and was called up on April 22, making his Major League debut three days later.

In 18 games with the Rockies, Daley as an ERA of 4.32, but he has given up just three earned runs in his last 10 appearances.

n Bobby Felmy, Connecticut Defenders

One of the top fielding outfielders in the San Francisco Giants' system, the Shikellamy grad caught fire in his first-ever trip back to Pennsylvania as a minor leaguer.

Starting with a triple in the series opener in Altoona on June 19, Felmy had two hits in five consecutive games in the middle of an eight-game hit streak for the first-place Defenders, the AA affiliate of the Giants. The starting left-fielder raised his average more than 20 points during the hit streak and his now batting .250.

For the season, Felmy has 13 doubles, three triples, three homers and 32 RBIs. Over the past 10 games, he's hitting .359.

He makes the second of three trips to Pennsylvania this weekend when the Defenders visit the Reading Phillies for three games beginning Saturday.

n Ryan Keefer, None

A former American Legion State player of the year, Keefer, who turns 29 next month, was released by the Bowie Baysox on June 20.

Drafted right out of Southern Columbia High School, Keefer had pitched in 18 games this spring for the Baysox, the Orioles' AA affiliate, but had trouble finding the plate. He walked 29 batters in 25 2/3 innings and had an ERA of 7.36 with an 0-1 record.

At the time of his release, Keefer was coming off back-to-back scoreless outings.

n Travis Smink, Greeneville Astros

The Line Mountain and Virginia Military Institute grad has been solid since making his professional debut in the Appalachian League last week. Smink, a left-handed pitcher, has come out of the bullpen in his first two appearances without allowing a run.
