Off we go....
- Promising Ireland pitching prospect Armando Escobar couldn't get it going in his rookie campaign, and was sent back to Australia after a 1-2, 8.59 start. Escobar was 17-7 in two AAA seasons, and won the Top Pitching Prospect award in 2019. Escobar was replaced in the rotation by Jerry Stryker, who was 5-0 with a 1.01 ERA in 7 starts for the Beerbellies.
- Three different teams attempted to sign Al Krieger, who was released by Atlanta last week. Bedford succeeded, and Krieger has appeared twice out of the pen for AAA Detroit.
- Despite a slew of injuries, Halifax has worked their way into a first place tie with Cleveland in the North. The Sailors are hitting like crazy, leading the league with a .301 team average and 214 runs.
- Speaking of Halifax, did you know that 2B Josh Barfield has 409 career HR and nearly 600 career doubles?
- The pitching has improved as the weather has warmed, with 11 of the 16 teams in the league now sporting a team ERA under 5.00.
- But whose team is worst in the league in pitching? Atlanta.
- Why did no one want Dennis Dennis Jr. last year? He's been resurgent in Cleveland, with a 1.077 OPS and team leading 12 homers.
- Paris' Stu Watwood is batting over .400 after 33 games.
- San Juan has shot past Savannah to take first place in the South. Rookie Charlie Proly is still raking, which is good news for Senadores fans, but bad news for.....
-.....prospect Len Thymne, who, despite hitting .383/.491/.850 for AAA Caracas, is stuck behind Proly on the depth chart. Thymne is averaging a home run every 7.8 at-bats, and an extra base hit every 4.75 at-bats.
- NCAA stats and rosters will be posted this weekend. Stay tuned.
