Clrwtr roster…Ugh. Better to look at the players at Lakewood and hope that some “graduate” to Clrwtr later in the season.

I am not so sure that the Clearwater roster is that bad, It is true that the Lakewood roster has a lot of players that received big signing bonuses and that usually does equate to a better chance of making the Bigs, and hopefully quite a good few will. But for example, Clearwater beat Lakewood by a score of 5 to 1 tonight, I think, (not exactly sure of that though) which is an indication that although talented, the Lakewood group needs more innings under their belts, Also having strong minor league teams will only push players at higher levels to work harder which will definitely benefit the organization as a whole. The Lakewood team has a tough start on the road with a very lengthy trip as they make their way to New Jersey.

Well, Clearwater should win. Those guys are in Clearwater for a reason, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re a good group of prospects.
There are some guys that I think are interesting: Charles, H-Mart, Mora, Pointer, Kleven, Stewart, Nunez, Hanson. But they’re all very fringy. Hopefully one or two guys can put themselves on the map somehow.

Anyone know where Ervis Manzanillo is right now? Injured? Extended?

Ervis is listed as injured on the Final workout Groups. He’s listed in group 4 so that would be Lakewood.

Justin Parr could make some noise at the plate.

Almost every year there appears, after spring training, to be at least one seriously prospect light team and, this year, it’s Clearwater. But sometimes there are surprises and, in any event, I expect at least a few guys to get promoted from Lakewood at some point. But for now, it looks to be kind of a boring group of prospects.

Don’t think Iwould call hitting .253 with 4 HR in 217 AB’s at Williamsport a plus bat, but OK.
