[Benihana]

Couple quick thoughts:

1. Why isn't Stubbs OR Heisey leading off? That's just annoying.
2. Neftali Soto is starting to heat up.
3. Billy Hamilton is quickly becoming one of my favorite prospects. I wonder if he'll get to Billings this year.

While Duran had an 0'fer, it's good to see him and Y.R. both taking BB's. And Hamilton is def. going to be fun to watch growing in the system

Yep. The hits are falling in for Duran yet but he's showing some solid plate discipline for a 17-year old.

That's awfully kind for a guy with 6 Ks in 14 ABs.

Not that I don't think Duran will get it going.

I was referring to the three walks in 17 PA's.

Michael Konstanty has an early triple today. After missing the first couple months of the season (anybody know why?), he has had a very good start at Dayton. He also showed a little thump last year in Billings. Anybody have a sense of his upside?

[GOYA]

Stubbs with an RBI single in the 4th.

5-2 Bats

[Benihana]

I'd like to see Horst back in Carolina replacing Wood/Stewart when they go to Louisville. He turns 24 this year, so it's getting to the point where we need to see what he can do. Fairel should go to Sarasota to replace Horst in their rotation.

[GOYA]

Heisey with a double. He's 3 for 3 today

[11larkin11]

I think one more game in Louisville, and it should be time for Edwin to be back on Tuesday
