Commentary:

I put Luis Cruz' line up there not because he did good (or bad) but because he played 3B. He's seen the vast majority of time at 2B and SS (all, I think). That he's playing 3B now is interesting.

David Freese BEAT UP on the Northwest League (.379/.465/.776) with 5 HR in 18 games. Tonight he got his first Lo-A HR in his 12th game. Another hot streak wouldn't surprise me AT ALL...

I wasn't going to put Stevie Delabar's line up. He's a 29th round 23 year-old in Lo-A. ...29th round... Wait. Is that a "29" on his uni? Yep. Coincident? I doubt it... That's why he's here. Just a cool thing.

Jeremy Hunt is probably playing a level too low. He's a collegiate in Rookie-ball and he's hitting .400/.471/.627 with 3 HR, 1 3B, & 6 2B...

I have no idea who Felix Carrasco is (I'll look into it) , but MAN! what a line!
