With Dave McKae as a clear exception, it's been a tough summer for some former UC Davis baseball players in the minor leagues. Here's a quick update in early August:
* Fourth-round pick Daniel Descalso (Cardinals) hasn't found his stroke for the Batavia (N.Y.) Muckdogs of the New York-Penn League. Descalso is hitting .224 in 40 games and has just three extra-base hits in 147 at-bats.
* Things are better for Descalso's ex-teammate Aaron Hanke (Diamondbacks) for the Yakima (Wash.) Bears in the Northwest League. Hanke is hitting a modest .255 but has 11 doubles, three triples, four homers and an OPS of .777.
* Another Northwest guy, Tyler LaTorre (Giants) has raised his average to .260 and his on-base percentage to .362 in part-time duty for the Salem-Keizer (Ore.) Volcanoes, who are 35-9 overall.
* Ryan Coultas (Mets) has seen time in Single- and Double-A this season. Coultas is hitting .188 in Binghampton of the Eastern League and .241 with 22 RBIs for St. Lucie in the Florida State League.
* Kris Negron (Red Sox) who redshirted at UC Davis but then transferred to Cosumnes River College, is hitting .229 with 23 steals for the Greenville (S.C.) Drive of the South Atlantic League.
* Even McKae, the Connecticut Defenders ace, ran into some tough luck lately as he was was bombed for 11 hits and 10 earned runs in two innings at Portland.
