Not much to say as I have to get back to work, but J mentioned the AFL rosters, and as always, we ask you not read too much into AFL performances, as players are usually just there to try new things and get some work in.

Ahhhhh Cashman Field. A shitty ballpark for a shitty ballclub. The desert air and the shallow walls make for lots of runs. As you can see from the XBH totals, the Rainiers found this run environment a sweet change of pace from Cheney.
