The biggest thing there: 6 strong innings out of Shane Lindsay.

I was worried he was headed into Chi-hui Tsao territory: first we make him a reliever, then he can't even hold his arm together in that role.

And the power is developing for Fowler just like they mapped it out. Overall not as much talent in the org as a couple years ago, but some key guys are looking very good.

Josh Towers: 7 IP, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
Omar Quintanilla: 4-5

Aneury Rodriguez: 7 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K

Everth Cabrera: 3-5, HR
Brian Rike: 2-4, 2B, 3B, BB
Darin Holcomb: 3-4, 2B, HR, BB

Aneury Rodriguez is probably the second-best pitching prospect in the system now (behind Reynolds). He's one to get excited about, even though he's still a long way away.

Holcomb... wow.

There are several very interesting lines being put up in the Springs right now.

Of course, Stewart is mashing .313/.404/.650 with 6 HR and 13 BB already, which puts a smile on all of our faces.

But get a load of these:

--Koshansky hitting .333/.454/.639 with 14 walks and 4 homers so far. Awesome. But how the hell do you put up that like when you've already struck out 27 freakin times?!?! Almost 40% of his ABs have been strikeouts. He won't keep it up, but so far this line make Jack Cust look like an amateur.

--Walks, walks, walks. Our beloved Q has to be next in line for a callup, being that his glove is great and we need an extra infielder. He has an incredible 15 walks against 10 Ks thus far in ~85 PA. Q, did you just now figure out you weren't going to hit in the middle of the order?

Seth Smith is making that total look pathetic, he has 20 walks in ~90 PA. Though he has only 4 XBH this year, none of which have left the yard. But I'm okay with that--I see Smith having a much longer career if he's okay trying to be Rusty Greer instead of Larry Walker.

--Edwin Bellorin, AKA argument #16D against re-signing Torrealba, is hitting .414/.433/.638. He came out of nowhere last year with the bat. It's looking real.

--Speaking of walks, 'Steve' Morillo has 18 in 8 and a third. Not a typo.

Also, I think Herrera is having a nice season after a horrid one last year. He should be next in line after Q to get a callup, once Barmes starts to suck again.

On the other thread I just mentioned that Q clearly outplayed Nix in spring. Looks like he'll get his chance very soon. Unfortunately, Koronka may get his, too.

I'm gonna name my first born Jhoulys. Sounds like it could work for a boy or girl and be badass either way.
