the Sounds

Looking at the numbers for the Sounds this morning, we see that Chris Truby continues to hit. In the preseason we said we'd want to see at least a half-season of AAA rakery before we believed this was a new man. We're hoping it's the case but we're not optimistic. J.R. House continues to paste the ball, too, and so does Luke Allen. Tony Alvarez is making his case for another crack at the Bucs' starting centerfield job. Randall Simon has hit for no power in ten games. I'm beginning to doubt we'll see him again on the big club.

On the pitching side, Mark Corey has been an effective closer. None of the starters look ready to me. Dave Williams and Cory Stewart have some nice numbers but are giving up too many home runs to inspire a lot of confidence.

...what was I thinking. Simon's on a rehab assignment at Nashville and can only stay down there until May 27. Don't ask me what we'll do with him if Ward continues to hit well. It's not like anyone is going to want Simon in trade.
