AZL did not play


Players of the day - Scott Van Slyke and Mario Songco, OF

Van Slyke keeps slugging, collecting his league best 41st double and 22nd HR. He also collected his 10th stolen base and his 124th strikeout. The whiffs concern me a little and, at 23, Scott still isn't a finished product. We'll see how he does in his real test next year at Double A. Songco, on the other hand, took a step backward after struggling in Low A. He comes back to Ogden as possibly the best hitter in the league, sporting a 1.111 OPS that's just a tick behind former teammate Jerry Sands' league-leading mark. Full season ball might have been a little much for the 20 year old, and he can wait til next year to try it out again.
