It was a brisk night, but boggs pitched quite well. Of a guy that lack velocity, they must have had the radar gun turned way up, because he hit 94 once and was in the 90-92 range into the 7th. He looked dominate at time. Other than stavinoha looking really bad in the outfield the team looked really good. I attended the game in Memphis Saturday.

In his first full season out of high school (in the South Atlantic League) last year, Cardenas hit .295/.354/.417 with 30 doubles and 9 HR. There's no reason to give up hope if Kozma falls short of that kind of performance, but those are the kind of numbers we should be hoping for this year.

I haven't visited this site in a few weeks, and just wanted to say that the new title bar looks awesome. I'm not a big fan of the green tabs, but the logo is VERY nice. Keep up the good work.

It was encouraging to see that Mr. Anderson threw out 2 of 3 runners in the 1st innning and shut down Frisco trying to steal off him the rest of the game. Also, Jon Jay had a beautiful diving catch to save runs...I think in the top of the 4th. Went to the Springfield-Frisco game last night in Frisco.

I'm not sure what to say. I hadn't thought much about him until KLaw's comments after seeing him in the AFL. He may not have tremendous upside but he's got to be the closest to major league ready at this point. I wish I could have picked up on him sooner. Let's hope he continues missing bats.

He has become much less hittable after his extended look in ST. Boggs sure looks pretty good so far. He has become much less hittable after his extended look in ST.

Of course, what I said is true - if he could get it up to .450 I'd be really excited. But I would also be pretty happy if he was around .400, too. Point taken.

Is this going to continue for the entire year, or will they ever pick two of these guys as starters and stick with them? I guess I'd rather have those guys platooning than Solano-Cruz-Derba at 3B/C.

More than likely he cut off a few hits that normally would've been played by the SS. King has got to love him ;) I can picture Bolivar starting 5 DP, he’s super quick with excellent range.
