Just an appreciation here for the truly monumental year Scott Kingery is having.

Likely - and should - repeat atop Baseball America's Prospect Hot Sheet today.

Last night: 4 for 4 plus a walk, HR, 2B, SB - he has been having nights like this so often that it gets overlooked.

I myself have been guilty of being down on the future by the regression of Franco and Herrera and bad years by Crawford, Appel,et al. But there are bright spots and none brighter than scrappy Scott Kingery!

[bigegypt0417]

Kingery is #2 on the list.
Eshelman is 6
Cozens at 11
Williams is 13
Crawford at 17

[teabag259]

Williams with a 3 run dinger.

[phillychuck]

Walding seems to have found his stroke...2 more HRs tonight.

[allentown]

But still no Quinn and Allentown losing 6-3 as Eflin gets clobbered and Venditte gets clobbered for the first time. I hope Eflin not having arm problems. He was better than this.

[bigegypt0417]

cozens may be hurt too...

[Austinfan]

I suspect Eflin's real problem was his knee surgeries, pitcher mechanics are funny, so getting his knees healthy and pain free could actually throw him off for a while.
I think the real difference will come this offseason, because he'll be able to work on leg strength.
The velocity is there, he's working on the secondary stuff, but the command is shaky right now.

[Philsmania]

Crawford now 0 for his last 10.
