Threshers Move to FSL Championship Round

I am sick as a dog and should have been home in bed tonight, but I managed to drag myself down to Sarasota for the game to see the Threshers win the FSL Western Division crown and move on to the FSL Championship Round.

Sorry for the short write-up, but I really need to get some sleep and try to recover in time to make the three hour trek to the east coast Saturday night.

Biggest steps forward; Donald and Carpenter

So says Kevin Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus..

Philadelphia Phillies

A third-round pick last June, infielder Jason Donald surprised even those within the organization with his line-drive bat, gap power, and keen batting eye; hitting .304/.395/.473 between Low-A Lakewood and High-A Clearwater.

Honorable Mention: Right-hander Drew Carpenter mixes three average pitches, throws strikes, and keeps hitters on their toes by changing speeds–all of which helped him put up a 3.20 ERA at Clearwater while winning 17 games. Defensive-minded catcher Lou Marson made big improvements with the bat, hitting .288/.373/.407 in the Florida State League.

There ya have it. Link
