Didn't know if this was the new destination or not. Feels like a
small group, but then it felt like that the last few months on
WC.

Whitenack, woo hoo. He got a couple of DP's to help him out.
Interesting to see him succeeding in different ways. Last time
12 K's, this time no K's into the 5th.

Don't know what to think with all these amazing starts by
hitters...seems like for so long i'd get my hopes up on this guy
or that guy and always be disappointed once the season
started...only hope they can keep it up(guess i should add
within reason so jes doesn't give me a lecture on why it would
be impossible for them to keep up at this pace.)

Nice to see a good outing from Hicks.
It will be interesting to eventually see more scouting on
whitenack. He's obviously cooking for the moment, although
flashing and sustaining are different things. But his fastball
is obviously A-ball effective.
Fastball effectiveness is a function of velocity, location, and
movement. Clearly his location must be good (1 walk in three
starts) and his movement must good (GO/AO). I wonder if those
are so good that he's doing it with average velocity (maybe
88-91 mostly?) Or if his velocity is pretty good, average or
better? Average or plus velocity combined with plus sink and
plus location would make for a very promising fastball, even if
it's not 97 mph.
The lefties haven't been too hot thus far. Hicks effective, but
not sure what he's got for stuff. Greathouse, Kirk not too hot.
Ebenger or whatever his name is terrible. Raley and Rusin have
been poor. Obviously Antigua horrific. It's too bad, I'd been
hopeful that the volume of mixed-talent lefties would result in
a couple of them stepping up and being significant. Hopefully
that will still happen. Rosscup has been about the best.

For many of the players it may be their only chance to play on a
big-league field, but they'll get it June 29. That's when the
Peoria Chiefs, the Cubs' affiliate in the Class A Midwest
League, play the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Brewers' Midwest
League club, in what's being billed as the Border Battle at
Miller Park in Milwaukee. Minor-league teams have played there
before, the Timber Rattlers four times.
