The best has been Reidier Gonzalez, who has gone 3-5 with an amazing 3.18 ERA in 79 and one-third innings. He only has 55 strike outs, but opposing batters are hitting only .238 off of him.
Another good pitcher for the Fisher Cats has been Luis Perez. Perez is 4-6 on the year with a nifty 3.41 ERA and a team leading 89 and two-thirds innings. Hitters are hitting only .220 against him and he has struck out 72 batters.
Unfortunately, World Baseball Classic sensation Leon Boyd has been awful since being promoted from Dunedin. In 14 appearances he has a 9.88 ERA in 13 and two-third innings and has walked 14 batters.
Dunedin Blue Jays (A)- (36-35, Fourth in FSL South Division)
Things have improved for the Dunedin Blue Jays since my last report as they are now above 500 and have climbed out of last place for the time being.
They have been led by three players offensively, with Darin Mastroianni leading the way. He has hit .325 this season with 26 RBI's and has just recently been called up by AA New Hampshire.
Eric Thames has also been a pleasant surprise down in Dunedin. He has hit .308 with two home runs and 30 RBI's. Moises Sierra has been another good hitter for Dunedin as he has a .311 batting average with four home runs and 36 RBI's.
It hasn't been all good though as a couple of top prospects have been struggling all year. Justin Jackson is hitting just .237 with no home runs and just 15 RBI's. Meanwhile, Kevin Ahrens is hitting just .233 with two home runs and 22 RBI's.
A couple of players are standing out on the pitching side of things, especially Kenny Rodriguez. Rodriguez has a 6-2 record with a tiny 1.97 ERA and 52 strikeouts in just 59 and one-third innings.
Tim Collins is still going strong as he has struck out 63 batters in just 42 innings and he has a 6-3 record to go along with a 2.57 ERA.
As you can see, there are a lot of good things to go along with the bad things. Lets hope the struggling prospects can turn things around and that the players currently playing well can keep it up.
