Gautreau still hasn’t kicked it into high gear. He’s had an incredibly long season, so that should come as no surprise. The guy has to be running on fumes at this point.

Bozied is hitting very well in the Northern League. Most of his time has been in the outfield, though he’s played a few games at third and one at first.

Barfield has picked up the pace after a slow start. He’s committing a lot of errors, though most of those came early. I’ll be interested to see this guy at Elsinore in a year or two.

Sain is on an absolute warpath, with nearly 60% of his hits going for extra bases. He needs to work on his plate discipline but that’s a heckuva pro debut. Sain is mostly playing first base right now.

Harrington has been shut down in the Northern League. He wasn’t pitching well, and all sides agreed that it would be best for him to take a breather.
