Andres Giminez again had a great opening couple days: 6 hits in 8 at bats.; a d triple ; a walk; no strikeouts

That's the consensus Deep talent pool.

And I forgot the rookies:
DeLauter 2 run double started the scoring
Brito 2 singles average stays at an even 500. Also committed his first major league error.

Cantillo made a list of 50 most improved players projected for the season and he's delivering as advertised.
Cecconi one bad, one good start.
Austin Hedges still a solid part time catcher.
Arias had a good start.

Mike Clevinger: the trade that just keeps on giving.

Romp past the Royals; Martinez homered; doubled; singled twice. Hoskins 3 doubles. Manzardo off the bench with a single-- small step in the right direction. Cantillo one earned run in 5 2/3. 9 strke outs He's looking really good. Team ERA and Team HR totals both near the top of the league. We're num...

2-1 win in terrible Tuesday weather. Brito debuted with 2 hits.

Manzardo was terrible in spring training and worse in the regular season. 2 singles in 30 at bats. As we know many good players need some return time to AAA on occasion. It sure worked for Jose; Rocchio last year benefited. Manzardo has 2 o;ptions. And we have Kayfus who could handle first for awhil...

Jake LaViolette is off to a remarkable start. Game 1: 4 at bats, 4 strikeouts. Game 2: 4 at bats, only 3 strikeouts; 1 fair ball hit. Chase Mobley debut in HillCity, Low A, was equally mermorable: 1/3 inning only 1 hit but 3 walks 2 hit batters Reliever cleared the bases so all 6 hitters scored; ERA...

Meanwhile Kyle Manzardo has had a terrible spring with stats in Nolan Jones territory. I homer, many strikeouts. He's been hitting 6th or 7th lately. He came in with much more muscle but it hasn't helped. I recall one of our prospects about 10 years ago who showed up so muscle=-bound he couldn't rea...
