Is Emeel Salem the Next Brett Butler?

He might give Maury Willis a run for his money

No pun intended. Seriously, R.J. and I were talking about this the other night. It seems like every time he gets on, he’s going for a stolen base.

The minor league prospects have been somewhat disappointing thus far

So have the teams

Only one (Vero Beach) is above .500.

I went to my first NW Arkansas Naturals game last night.. that is one bad team. I will need to research the Royals prospects more closely but it makes me more thankful to be a Rays fan instead of a Royals fan.

At least we're (they're) not the Lehigh Valley IronPigs

First season in the IL, and they break the league record by starting something like 0-11 to start the season. Now they’re 2-15 or something like that.
