Let's hope this is the beginning of something good!

I'm hoping he does well enough in his first few weeks at Aberdeen to warrant a promotion to Delmarva or Frederick. Past examples:

- Nolan Reimold was promoted to Frederick after posting a .942 OPS in Aberdeen in 50 PA.

- Jeff Fiorentino was promoted to Delmarva after posting a 1.148 OPS in Aberdeen in 57 PA.

- John Ruetinger was promoted to Delmarva after 3 games in the GCL.

They need someone with calligraphic skills in the majors.

I'm guessing the answer is no but is there any way to watch or listen to this game online?

Odenwaelder, the 6'5" OF from Amherst. Mullins has his work cut out in CF - heard he has speed per McLovin. Hope Mc gives us a report but assume Steve M will have coverage from MASN.

But then he struck out.

So we got a guy with no power, a huge K rate and his BA and OBP buoyed by an unsustainable 1.000 BABIP.

Jay Flaa looks like a keeper though - lights out reliever!~

Let's not be too hasty. He drew a walk later on. The lack of power is alarming, though.

They warned us that his stance could sap his power.

Hit his first home run as a professional yesterday!

[Three Run Homer]

Through 10 games he's hitting under .200 with little power. The good news is that his K/BB numbers don't suggest a hitter who is overmatched (6 of each).

If there are any Ironbirds fans who've seen him in action, is he just hitting in some bad luck so far?

Stewart crossed the Mendoza line tonight with a 2 for 3 night.
