Some positives in tonight's box scores:
-Abel: another strong start; putting last year behind him and returning to a more premium prospect status?
-Crawford: another multi-hit game. Batting over .300 with 8 steals in less than a month at AAA. Sure looks like a major leaguer and still with plenty of room to grow. Still no power but is that any different from current version of Marsh?
-Escobar: HR mentioned previously, OPS now at 1.173. Bat needs to move up a level, where does he play at Jersey Shore where I imagine Phillies want struggling Saltiban to get reps?
-McFarlane: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4K, 0 ER
-Nori: 2 hits, batting average approaching respectable
