I'll be attending each of the Sunday games at Hadlock this year. Looking forward to getting a nice close-up look at some of these guys. Hopefully mother nature plays along.
Hoping I'll be able to provide some insight or context to box scores. Let me know what you'd like to hear about.

Pitching was the theme today, potentially aided by an umpire who seemed to annoy hitters on both teams. Bats as a whole seemed to struggle with fastballs up. Cold day that was bad for offense, but I liked Anthony's approach on the day.
Christopher Troye looked great in relief. Nick Yorke made a nice diving play at second to continue his strong defensive play from last year. Hartford stole 2nd twice and 3rd twice in the game. I put it mostly on the pitchers, but also not Teel's best throws.

Bastardo started with 3 good IP. Wikelman followed with 3 solid innings of his own. Hoppe missed glove side down too much, but Zeferjohn finished up strong.
No Teel today. Blaze took a hbp off the hand, but stayed in the game. Struggling so far thos year, I liked his solid line drive 1b the other way in his last AB.
Anthony had a real strong at bat working back from 0-2 to get a 1b of his own.
Overall offense was patient against a starter that had no idea where it was going and topped out at 89 for 2IP. Lots of walks in the game, not a great game to be a pitcher.

Yup. The next group of stars will come out of AA this year. Some with rotate up to AAA and might even get to the Bigs late in the season, depending on injuries and the team standings. Yesterday, the entire infield were not regulars, plus O'Neil in the OF. And they still won. I hope they get the injury bug defeated by next month and then we'll see what kind of team they have. Can't blame the starters this year. A pleasant surprise.

For all of the amazing talent on Portland's roster, it is a little wild that Matthew Lugo has been the teams best hitter. Small Sample Size and all, but he leads all AA players in OPS, and has been an extra base machine so far this season. The K rate is still high, but he has doubled his BB% this season. It appears he has filled out a lot the last couple of years, and he is still 22 years old (for a couple more weeks). He is a former high draft choice, that if I remember correctly was assumed to be more of a project as a non-stateside HS draftee, I don't think it would be surprising at all if he were a late bloomer. He has become an everyday starter for the Sea Dogs, after really being more of an afterthought in the Sox system (no longer in the top 60 here, although maybe that will change in the next rankings if he continues to hit like he has). I think it would be funny (and probably not too unrealistic) if he were the first guy to earn a promotion to Worcester from the Portland roster.
