Williams 14th HR and a walk. The walk to me is more important, there has never been a question about his talent, but if he doesn't develop a more disciplined approach to hitting, he'll never realize it at the ML level. So every walk is a reason for optimism. It's not about him walking 100 times, rather, whether he'll learn not to swing at pitches out of the K-zone and to work an AB.

Martinelli .389/.431/.667/1.098 in June - talk about making adjustments to pro ball, looked like a total flop in April and May, now he's ballin'.

With Martinelli, you hope it's an adjustment and not just a random hot streak that vanishes next month. With young players you always hope (and fans usually assume) it's an adjustment. He's so hot right now after being a .150 hitter it almost has to be SOME change in approach. Last three games he's only 3/11, though...great win for the 'Claws, scoring one in the bottom of the 9th and one in the bottom of the 10th to win 2-1. Martinelli singled and scored the winning run.

FSL North won their all-star game 5-2. Jose Taveras started and got the nominal win after 1 scoreless, hitless inning. Cole Irving followed with a scoreless second, and Jeff Singer got the last two outs and gave up an unearned run. Grullon and Rodriguez went hitless, and Stankiewitz was 1/1.
