Clearwater's offense manages 1 run in 14 innings of work today.

Clearwater's offense sure seems very spotty. Then you look at them in comparison to the league, and it's interesting. The Threshers lead the league in HR, and they're middle of the pack in team batting average. But out of the 12 teams, they're 4th fewest in walks, steals, and runs. And last in triples. So they're a little home run dependent, and maybe their "clutch hitting" isn't the best either.

I looked at the Pigs lineup pre-game, saw Crawford in it. Then when I turned the game on, the 2nd batter of the game was up, batting right-handed. The Buffalo announcers called him "JP Crawford" several times when this right-handed batter was up. (Interesting, right?)

The batter finally grounded into a 1-6 forceout and then the announcers realized that of course it was not Crawford but Pedro Florimon.

More importantly, this is the third straight game JP is not in the lineup, so whether he was a late scratch or there was just a media screw-up....something's up.

Waguespack is looking interesting, big boy, originally drafted by Pittsburgh, goes to Mississippi, then signed as a free agent by the Phillies.
So so season at Lakewood, but has raised his game up a couple notches this year.
RP who I think is starting out of necessity, but looking good doing so, which tells you he must be pretty strong to make that transition mid-season.

[allentown]

Lakewood is only team that is winning.

[phillychuck]

Lakewood (winning big) and Reading win.

Moniak 4/5 (3 singles, double). Martinelli 3/5 (all singles). 14 runs so far for the 'Claws.

[Austinfan]

Martinelli has really turned his season around, looking like a legitimate prospect now.
Hall with 10 HRs in Lakewood is making some noise after missing most of ST.

Pinto and Watson are looking better in the pen, Arano is healthy, so there's hope on the way.

[Squire]

DSL Phillies White banged out 19 hits today too.

DSL Phillies White banged out 19 hits today too.

Some impressive batting averages for that lineup.

[Squire]

Yeah. last year's bonus class is off to a good start

[fish]

They are going to need 5 years to rebuild the rebuild- 1990s Kansas City Royals-style.
