April 28, 200620 yr Jai Miller is getting hot in Jupiter...last 9H in his last 13AB with XBHs, and only one K. I loved his plate approach and refining swing that I witnessed during spring training and he's just now starting to catch fire and put it together. and thanks again yandro...enjoyable read
April 28, 200620 yr I always knew Jai had potential. he's starting to walk in bunches and getting a hold of the Ks. He's still only 20-21 right? Also looks like McCann is heating up. Started real slow last year in Greensboro before going nuts.

He looked absolutely lost at the plate the couple times I saw him last year. Good to see though Also, Greg Burns is starting to come around a little bit. He has been playing better recently. It'll be an adjustment period but good to see he is at least above the Mendoza line Also, the Hoppers actually played a double header yesterday Won the first game 5-4 with Volstad on the mound Volstad: 6.2, 8H, 4R, 2ER, 2BB, and 3K...so almost had the CG(I guess they only played 7 to get both games in) Van Houten: 2-4 3B, 2 RBI---Does he have a position because he can hit pretty well? I just don't really remmember ever seeing him in the field Sanchez got the start at C and went 1-3
