Charlotte is destroying Norfolk in game 2, 13-4 Sweeney and Fields each have three-run shots.

Has anyone seen Heath Phillips pitch? He's been an intriguing near-prospect for a while now. I was wondering if he has a chance to be a 4th or 5th starter type or is he a AAAA player?

Kanny lost 5-2. 2006 second rounder Matt Long made his debut: two thirds of an inning, 5 hits 5 runs and a grand slam. :o:

I was at the games on Saturday night, and I was very impressed with both Fields, and Sweeny. They both were hitting line drives to the opposite field, which I love to see.

What impressed me most was their defense; Sweeny had great jumps, and ran some great routes to catch some hard hit balls, while Fields made a good play with a dribbler down the line. I'd love to see them get some playing time during the September call ups.
