SJL:
Hitting in the cleanup slot of the San Antonio Keys lineup, right behind the all-world Bud Lindsay, John Freeman has become one of the most feared hitters in the WPK. He's a liability in the field, sure, but with his bat, who cares? (Okay, I would care, a little. But even with his defensive shortcomings and lack of any foot speed the man is on pace for a 9.9 WAR season. So I could probably get over my reservations.)
MGL:
For years Larry Carnell patiently waited for his turn, trapped behind the veteran slugging first baseman Devin Schwisow on the Phoenix roster. But with Schwisow now a member of the Jacksonville Wolf Pack Carnell is finally getting his chance to shine, and shine he is. Although Carnell is not an improvement over Schwisow defensively (both are sub-par) he is a better contact hitter and all around hitter. And, unlike his predecessor who has a reputation for poor work habits and a generally unpleasant disposition, Carnell is a sparkplug on the club with his great work ethic and adaptable attitude. At age 28, it is about time the former 6th round draft pick out of UCLA got his chance to be a starter in the WPK.
