Here is a National League scout's report on JOHANFRAN:

“Strong, muscular, durable, with a highly agile body with quick feet, and a take-charge confident defender. A plus arm to all bases, and runs well for a catcher. Bat can be a Gary Sanchez-type power producer, with sound hitting actions, and the type of strength to to drive the ball to the big part of the field. Projects as a above-average skill-position player, supplying a 5-hole bat.”
Lots of other stuff in this McAdam piece, but mostly MLB related.

No Coffey for the severalth day in a row. Also no Jhostynxon & no Johnfrank... who is hitting 2-29 since being promoted to Salem with 1 walk. He does have only 4 k's so maybe he just needs to run better on BABIP. An .069 batting average & .169 OPS is rough, though.

Dang! I looked at the Sea Dogs schedule last week and thought I'd get to see Gonzalez pitching tonight! Oh, well, Gambrell isn't too bad of a consolation prize...and with a bit of luck I might get to tomorrow night's game as well...
Enjoy!

Pretty sure it's Gambrell today, Wikelman tomorrow & CJ Sunday.

Portland hasn't announced their lineup yet today.

JDE started for Greenville & pitched 5 innings, allowing 3 runs, 2 earned on 8 hits & 2 walks with 7 strikeouts.

He was relieved by Felix Cepeda who pitched a 1-2-3 6th with a strikeout & still hasn't allowed a run since being promoted to Greenville.

Looks like BEAR CLAW is actually pitching for Worcester, not Walter... despite them stating otherwise earlier today.

Greenville won game one 5-3.

Cepeda also got the 7th & final inning, which was a 1-2-3 inning with 3 groundouts & got the save.

7 of the 9 Greenville hitters were 1-3. The only exception was Eddinson Paulino (2-3 with a double) stole the hit that should have been for Allan Castro (0-3).

The team was 9-27 with no walks.

We watched Encarnation. - he does not look good at all. Unconventional windup. Missed a shit ton on pitches he was trying for. I hope that I’m wrong but this is probably his last stop.
