A few observations is our pitching is very, very sound.  Simmons has had
amazing control and along with Chaill and Anderson these kids are
pitching great.  Leon is only 19!  And this list doesn't include some of
the "upside" guys like Gio, DLS, HRod.

On the hitting front, we have a lot of 1B and OF prospects but the infield
seems slim picking.  There is a pretty big drop off between the guys listed
and the rest of the players at those positions.  I even cheated a little by
sliding Guzman over to third, though he plays second most of the time.

Speaking of scuffling, the Cats were shut out against the Iowa Cubs as Saarloos
allowed 4 runs (2 earned) in 7 innings.  He struck out 4 and walked one with
no home runs.  Gaetti and Powell both had errors and Travis Buck playing center
went o'fer in two ABs.  Not much offense to speak of when a team is shutout :)
It's a good thing that there's quite a bit of parity in the Pacific Division.

The Hounds continued to scuffle slightly as they fell to Frisco 3-2, though
Simmons was excellent in 7 IP allowing 2 earned runs while striking out 6 and
walking 2, Jay Marshall got the loss, walking two and allowing a run in 1.2
innings of work.  Guzman followed up his o'fer in his previous game with a
run and a double, Myers drove in one on a hit and 2 BB.

The problem with the Rockhounds is their hitting, with only 3 players with OPS over
.800, my critieria for usually mentioning offensive feats is if you have an OPS
over .900.  It will interesting to see if some of the guys start warming up as the
season progresses.
