Lawrie took DHing to heart: three walks!

Lucroy’s really circling the drain.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

No More Than Salome..

At least Lucroy can still play solid D. A to AA is also a tough jump for a player to make…especially when that A ball is being played in Brevard County.

Actually, Jeff has shown that making the jump to Brevard is the toughest jump

The FSL is pretty close to AA in terms of difficulty.

Who is Mike Jones?

Kevin Goldstein:

In terms of the draft and prospect world, the 26-year-old Jones is almost ancient history. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2001 draft out of an Arizona high school, and he had a very impressive start to his career before being completely sidetracked by both Tommy John surgery and a procedure on his shoulder. That combination would normally get a guy written off, but to Jones’ credit, he’s worked hard to come back, and while he’s hardly a top prospect, he’s being noticed by scouts after reaching 94 mph in the Florida State League and tossing six shutout frames over the weekend in his first Double-A start of the year. It’s hard not to root for him.

94!
