After enjoying some time off for the all-star break, Matt started off with a bang. He went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI's.
Jason Heyward - RF - Rome Braves
We thought he would be promoted after the allstar break, but instead he keeps mashing. Heyward goes 1 for 4, with a double, walk, run scored and RBI.
Blake Beavan - SP - Clinton LumberKings
Beavan has had a couple rough outings in June, but this start was a change in the right direction. Beavan went 5 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2. He only allowed 1 run on the night.

Star of the Day:
Chris Marrero - 1B - Potomac Nationals
Marrero finally put together a monster game yesterday as he went 3 for 4 with a double, a homerun, 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's. Marrero has struggled in High A ball for the last year, hitting AB=492, R=76, H=123, 2B=24, 3B=5, HR=19, BB=55, SO=113. That would give him approximate numbers of .251/.328/.434. Being a first baseman, these numbers are not where they need to be.
High A:
Hank Conger - DH - Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Conger continues to swing a hot bat as he had his third multi-hit game in a row and drove in a season high 4 runs. He went 2 for 5 on the day with a single and double.
Low A:
Matt Dominguez - 3B - Greensboro Grasshoppers
The hotest bat in the Posse system right now, Dominguez had his best game of the year and probably his career. He went 3 for 5 with a homerun, 3 runs scored and an RBI. Entering the season there were no questions about his defense, but a few a questions about his bat. Those concerns seem to be diminishing.

Star of the Day:
Neftali Feliz - SP - Clinton LumberKings

AAA:
Jeff Clement - C - Tacoma Rainiers
Clement went 1 for 5 with his 14 homerun of the season. On the season in Tacoma Clement is hitting .364/.484/.746. Makes you wonder when Seattle will give him a full breakfast to go with his recent cup of coffee.
Low A:
Matt Dominguez - 3B - Greensboro Grasshoppers
Dominiguez is on a roll as he got his 3rd consecutive multi-hit game on the year. After being a first round draft pick in 2007 and then hitting .158/.183/.246 in short season ball, Dominguez is showing his true talent. He is hitting .333/.403/.467. This strong defensive youngster needs to start showing some power.
Jordan Walden - SP - Cedar Rapids Kernals
Jordan had a solid start going 5 innings, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. On the season he is has pitched 69.2 innings, allowing 55 hits, 20 walks, and has struck out 56 batters. Walden has only allowed 3 homeruns on the season.

Star of the Day:
Jason Heyward - RF - Rome Braves
Heyward is a beast and expected to be the Posse's right fielder of the future. Heyward had a monster game today going 4 for 5 with three runs scored, one RBI, his 15th double on the season and 7th homerun.
AA:
Chris Volstad - SP - Carolina Mudcats
Good to see Volstad bouncing back with a strong start. Volstad tossed seven innings, allowing five hits, one walk and only gave up one run. Though Chris has been striking out more guys this year, he revisited his past by not striking out any in this game.
High A:
Chris Marrero - 1B - Potomac Nationals
Marrero went 3 for 6 tonight, scoring two runs, adding two RBI's and hitting his eighth homerun. On the season he is hitting .247/.330/.438. Chris needs to get his average up by another 30 points for this to be considered a good season.
Low A:
Matt Dominguez - 3B - Greensboro Grasshoppers
Dominguez had a perfect night going 3 for 3 with three runs scored and one RBI. On the season he is now 9 for 24 with three doubles and four walks. That is good for a .375/.464/.500.
Michael Burgess - RF - Hagerstown Suns
Let's start calling this guy "Mr. Multihit". Burgess raised his season average to .266 by getting his fifth multihit game in his last six. Burgess went 2 for 6, with 2 runs, 2 RBIs, his ninth double and third stolen base.

Down on the Farm: Friday May 23rd
Star of the Day:
Matt Dominguez - 3B - Greensboro Grasshoppers
After struggling in late 2007 and then starting this season fighting mono, Dominguez has a huge "second" night in 2008 by going 3 for 4 with a double and two runs scored. Posse management hope that one of Josh Vitters or Matt Dominguez will be ready to replace Aramis Ramirez in a few years.
AAA:
Jeff Clement - C - Tacome Rainers
Another day, another homerun for Jeff Clement. Clement being on this list is a common occurrance as he went 2 for 5 today with a solo homerun, his eighth of the year. We expect Jeff to be in the majors soon, but this time for good.
AA:
Chris Volstad - SP - Carolina Mudcats
Volstad did not have a great game at all, but it still made this list. Chris tossed five innings, giving up nine hits and two walks. The one positive is that he struck out six batters. Volstad was looking like he was knocking on the major league door, but his last two starts may mean this will not happen until next year.
Low A:
Michael Burgess - RF - Hagerstown Suns
Another name that has been consistently on this list the last few weeks is Michael Burgess. Michael struggled at the beginning of this season, but tonight he went 3 for 4 and got his second triple of the season. He scored one run and knocked in three.
