Nice article on Nick Fanti:

Lakewood's Nick Fanti turning baseball fantasy into reality | Bob Brookover

Even if starting does not work out he has a real shot to be a LOOGY. Solid command of 3 pitches is a good start even if he never will have a great fastball.

What's the deal with Sixto Sanchez? It looks to me like they are skipping him again in the rotation at Lakewood. I haven't heard that he's injured but I know they did the paper move to send him to W'port.

I know they want to watch his innings, but this is a little much. He's thrown like 25 innings this year. He'll be lucky to get to 100.

Crawford is 2 for 2 early tonight, after homering yesterday, Good to see.

HR for cozens...his 10th

[phillychuck]

Perkins left the game after a HBP tonight, and Kilome was pulled early (rain delay?).

[Austinfan]

Fanti has already added velocity, and if he has two solid secondary pitches, only needs to get in the 90-91 range.
6'1 188 out of HS, figure he'll bulk up to 200-210 the next couple years.

[schooldoc]

Yes, Kilome was pulled early due to the rain delay.

According to Greg G. at Lakewood, Sixto has a neck strain. Somebody get the young man some comfortable pillows.
