AZL did not play


Player of the day - James Adkins, LHP

The 23 year old 2007 supplemental first rounder has had an up and down season. He's had major struggles with his command, as evidenced by his 69 walks in 132.2 innings pitched. His strikeout rate isn't much better (5.22 / 9). However, he's shown the ability to consistently keep the ball on the ground, as he's posted a 1.36 ground/fly ratio and allowed just 8 home runs in 25 starts. Adkins' future is still up in the air, though I see him as more of a reliever/LOOGY at this point instead of a back-end starter.
