Another homer for Alec Bohm, his third of the season.

[fish]

I’d love to know what it is about their hitting program that brings out the absolute worst in Moniak and Haseley. It’s like before every game they get their pupils dialated.

[rkeden]

Clearwater wins in 10, 6-3 with 7 innings of no hit ball to close it out.....

[schooldoc]

Moniak 0-4 but Haseley did reach base 2x tonight including a HR and added a sac fly.

So Alec Bohm. Is 22 games/93 PA a small sample size or is it time to move him to Reading? His BAIP is above 400 so there is some luck involved. Do they wait to see if this performance is real or not, or should they just wait for the weather to improve in the North East?

[Squire]

Bohm....is currently only at Lakewood......next stop will be Clearwater.

[BaseballCat]

I may be in the minority, but I would like him to dominate the first half in Lakewood and move to Clearwater in the second half. Reading to me is a push since that would be a major jump in pitcher quality. I see no need to rush him as I think Franco is doing fine. Keep him there to work on swing and fielding with the same coaching voices and move to Clearwater for second half. He is not that old that we need to rush development now that he has started there. Perhaps I am being selfish as I plan on seeing him down in Greensboro next month...

[el-pietro]

I'm not sure why I thought he was CLW. Definitely more pressing to move him on then, and no reason to worry about the NE weather!
