drove 3+ hours to see Owens for the first time, left after he pitched the 5th because its a long drive back and I did not think they would send him back out for the 6th. Owens is not being challenged by hitters in high A. It seems the only point is for him to build up strength to go 5+ innings, and that's done. Hope to see him in Portland by mid-season, but I will fly for that trip.

I worried that Almanzar was sent to Greenville at too young an age. It can't be good for a 17-18 year old hanging out with 21 year olds - as in easy access to booze, but he was too good for GCL. Now that he is on a good age advanced track, the place other high prospects had trouble was AA, but not Mike. I won't complain now, but when Michael finishes AA batting over 300, it think it would be time to bring him to the front page. ps, I will make the 3-4 hr drive to Salem now, how's the weather?

I don't see why he should be considered a late bloomer at 22 in AA. Only Xander and Heiker are younger. there are only 7 players younger in Salem. A heavy bat and better defense than Manny still makes a good prospect?

It is time for Almanzar to move up.
