Tsunematsu’s first professional hit was a home run.

Rojas ding dong Johnson

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It’s only been a week but Johan Geraldo and Yanfri Serrano are both rocking 1.000+ OPS with 0 strikeouts.

Rojas double, Ayers homer.

[Bertz]

Ayers' big game has his AA OPS over .900

He turns 25 tomorrow, so his age is still a knock but as a catcher at AA no longer a ginormous one.

Southern League is also really tough on hitters iirc

Carter Trice HR (#9)

[Bertz]

Carter Trice is probably the most underrated guy on the farm, but Christian Olivo feels like he's in the discussion.  I think there's a good bit to like there.  Very good BB/K numbers dating back to last year, power that this year looks ~average, plays both SS and CF, and totally age appropriate at SB.

[Bertz]

Rojas another dong, Ayers another double.  Yeesh

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Even Armas has 3 hits

Terrific to have Rojas bouncing back.  Hope he can extend the hot streak for a while, and keep stacking, before he cools off.
