Barons drop Game 4, 3-0

Cotts pitched well today, but unfortunately was not perfect. He struggled a bit in the 5th inning and gave up two runs. He struck out Krynzel and JJ Hardy (two of Huntsville's top three hitters) to end the inning. He gave up a solid single, an infield hit, a ground ball between 1st and 2nd for a single in the inning. Throw in a walk and a fielder's choice that failed to get an out and you have an ugly inning. On a good note, he came back out strong in the 6th. Definitely a solid outing overall.

Not a no doubter, but he can play 1B, 3B, and even a little 2B, and he is going to catch fulltime in Fall League, so I think he makes it as a backup. Maybe not next year, but the year after I bet. He seems to be a ballplayer, maybe not most talented, but plays the game right and gets important hits.

Rex,

 

is Ryan Hankins a legit prospect? A guy that no doubt will make it to the majors?

No, he is marginal..... great clubhouse guy, clutch hitter, hard worker, good overall hitter..... just doesn't have the power a corner infielder should have..... and he is not big, so that doesn't help.....

 

he has a chance, but it is an otside one..... the Sox org likes him, however
