Justin Bour with a 2-4 with a double. Im getting quite intrigued by this young man. He even looks like Rebel Ridling who looks like Jake Fox.

 

One guy on the farm who has been overlooked all season is Evan Crawford of the Mike Fontenot trade. Hes quietly hitting .336/.413/.439/.853 with 0 HR but 11 SB. Is he someone worth following?

Jae Hoon Ha 2-4 with a 2B in his AA debut, hitting leadoff. Nothing special for any of the other Smokies this evening.

IMO, he'll become a lot more worth following when he cuts down his strikeouts and raises his walks. He strikes out an awful lot for a guy who doesn't hit for power. And he's doing so at the lower levels. An IsoD around .060 is okay, but for someone who's value is largely derived by his speed, you'd like to see it be higher. He's just 22, so there's still time, and it seems like he can hit, but, for me, he won't be a top prospect worthy of excitement until he can improve in those areas. By all means, follow him, but he's not there yet.

I see that Dustin Harrington played 3B at Daytona. Does anyone know what the corresponding move was (I assume there must be an injury to an infielder)?
