Despite some more good performances, Mike still can't quite gain that BB/K seperation we're looking for |

Is there any way to force opposing pitchers to pitch to Prince on a regular basis? Pitching around kids like this in the Midwest League is uncalled for |

Effective Wildness 101: While Luis has given up 32 walks in 73 innings, Southern League batters can't get a handle on the pitches they swing at, as witnessed by their .213 average off the big lefty |

Chad probably wants a do-over after his first appearence for the Mavericks: 4 hits, 1 walk, 4 runs, only out on a pickoff by the catcher |

OK, Jason's been healthy for long enough that the Brewers should at least try to see if he has anything left as a catcher |

First, Krynzel had to watch his tail because of Moss, so now does Moss have to watch his tail because of Gwynn and Fermaint? That's a long conga line of center fielders |
