Today's games: Meh. In a more interesting note, we've got another early season OBP semi-superstar on our hands. Helena's John Dishon is still finding ways to get on base by any means possible. He has a .241 average but a .369 OBP. (I know Nick Ramirez and Kyle Dhanani have higher OBP, but they also hit more. Far more.) I remember posting earlier in this season about Nick Shaw's abilities at drawing walks, which fizzled out with a larger sample. It was still fun keeping track of it. Speaking of Nick Ramirez, he looks like a worthy addition to the organization's pool of good-hitting 1B. Brewers org first basemen (excepting the Arizona League) rank within the top 25 batters in their leagues in OPS.
Actual stats, as opposed to musings, after the jump.
