Thanks, CT.

Boring day on the farm so far.

Am I imagining things, or has Vogelbach been going all Rock Shoulders on his ever since his not so prestigious Minor League Player of the Month Award?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Past 10 Games:

 

Vogelbach: .263/.310/.368/.678

Schwarber: .233/.395/.367/.761

Baez: .205/.261/.333/.595

 

McKinney: .382/.488/.824(LOL)/1.312

 

And Edwards has 0/9 BB/K in his last 3 games (5IP)

 

And then there's Mendy: .256/.319/.465/.784; which isn't horrible, considering the start to his season. I don't know what to make of Mendy. Should we just accept that if all the stars align perfectly, he's Yuniesky Betancourt, and if not, Jonathan Hererra or any number of identical journeymen like him?
