Springfield should be fun to watch/follow this summer. They have, IMHO, the top 2 starting pitching prospects in the org. going for them. Jaime Garcia & Clayton Mortenson.

And they have the future of the middle infield. Jose Martinez & Tyler Greene.

The corners aren't bad either. Mark Hamilton and Allen Craig.

They will be fun to follow. Texas League Championship anybody?

BleacherBum,
You might be right about a Tx League Championship. I hope so!
In addition to the top-line pitching prospects you mention,
I like a lot of other things about the Springfield team/roster:

I like the manager -- Pop Warner.

I like Bryan Anderson -- look for him to have a big year (his 2nd in the TL)

I like the move of Jose Martinez to 2B

I like the offense; I like the defense up the middle, especially

I like the DH/UT player A.J. Van Slyke

I like John Jay -- hope he has a healthy, productive year

Ditto for Tyler Greene -- solid SLG% and a healthy year

I like Cody Haerther -- like Anderson, he ought to have a big year there

I like having the speed of Shane Robinson on that team
