So I'm aware that Wilmington is a tough place to hit, and it's still early, but is it normal to see most of our highly touted prospects there putting up blanks almost every game? Having some hope from the minors is the only hope I have, and before the 2014-2015 seasons some of the most enjoyment I've had was following Moustakas, Hosmer, Montgomery, Meyers, Duffy, Cain, etc. in the minors back around 2010.

The sample size is still small enough that a single hit is going to create a .050 swing in batting average.
Have to give it more time before any sort of stat line scouting (which is unreliable anyway).
That’s a tough hitting environment and a tough league to hit in, period. Key is comparing them to what other Royals prospects did there (and at the end of the year). [Reply]
Lol Boxberger. Cut that dude tomorrow. Im glad Zimmer had to go down to the minors because he wasn't getting it done, but Boxbergers still here. He's just such a gritty savvy vet. [Reply]

to be fair, everyone had been bitching about alshitty for the better part of a decade. [Reply]
Our outfield defense looked elite with Terrance Gore out there, Seattles was a complete trainwreck, it looked like they had Jorge Soler in every position.
Our outfield is so fast every time I think there's a ball in the gap there's an out. [Reply]
