The minor league crew decided to intensify our focus on the
organization's top prospects. As part of that effort, we will
have less game reporting on Fridays and statistical summaries for the
top prospects. We begin this week with the pitchers.
Thursday Boxscores and Highlights
Syracuse 4 Scranton WB 3 Adams HR, 2 H, 2W, Olmedo GWRBI
New Hampshire 6 Portland 1 Santos 3-4 HR, MacDonald 6.1IP, 1 ER, 4H, 0W, 2K
Lakeland 13 Dunedin 6 Hatch 2 run triple, Calderone on base 3 times, Ray SP 1 inning, 3 ER
Lansing 8 Kane County 3 Snider 5TB, Pettway 2-4 HR, C. Emanuele 3-4 HR, C. Lirette 5.2 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2W, 3K
The Summary
We use the Battersbox 2006 Top 30 Prospects
as a guide to the top prospects. I have added in Dustin McGowan
(who was with the big club in 2006), Mike MacDonald, Brandon Magee and
Chase Lirette. The latter three pitchers received some support.
Davis Romero had TJ surgery.

It is early days, and the news, aside from the doctor's office report, is mostly good.
