A look at the time period of August 1 thru August 7. Quick thoughts…Its time to move JP Crawford up. There is nothing to suggest he couldnt handle to NYPL and he is likely to be in Lakewood anyway next year, so why not challenge him? Cody Overbeck is putting up a very quiet 2o plus HR season…Mitch Walding has been one of the larger disappointments over the last two years. I havent lost hope, but he just cant put it together for a prolonged period…Cameron Perkins is pretty clearly still bothered by his wrist injury, as he has landed consistently on the Not Hot list since his return from the DL…Adam Morgan has been effective but has thrown alot of pitches in each of his starts, leading to a 5 inning max since his return from the DL.
