As the Mahoning Valley Scrappers season comes to a close, a couple of players were moved to Lake County for the playoff push.  Joe Wendle (above) and Tyler Naquin will join Charlie Valerio, who was promoted last week.

Wendle was probably the most consistent Scrapper at the plate this season.  In 61 games, he compiled a .327 batting average and had four home runs.  Wendle also showed defensive versatility being jockeyed between second and third base all season.

Naquin had recently played in three games, his first action since hurting his back and being sidelined since August 2nd.  The Indians #1 Draft Pick of 2012 showed off a great arm while manning CF and developed good plate discipline before the injury forced him out of action for a month.

With the final series being played at State College, an interesting note was that the Pirates short season affiliate had Starling Marte on a rehab assignment before he rejoins Pittsburgh later this week.
