  1. Good start for my pick to break out this season, Luke!

    Keep hitting like that and you can go to Charlotte and maybe O'Conner can try BG, maybe

  2. Bailey was my favourite Rays' pick from the '09 draft. I even wanted them to take him in the 1st round.

    I'm so glad seeing him putting the injury behind and everything together. Hope he keeps on raking as his potential is exceptionally high!

  5. From Stacy Long of the Montgomery Advertiser.

    Rods' Dietrich expected to be OK after beaning
    Bowling Green shortstop Derek Dietrich didn't play today after being hit in the back of the head with a pitch Saturday. But he should be OK and isn't expected to need to go on the disabled list, farm director Mitch Lukevics said.

  6. Is he going to be out any length of time at all? The ss that replaced him doesnt offer a whole lot...
