Stand out hitters to me were Harrell, Kemp, Swanson, and Campbell -- that includes both Thursday and Friday nights. Wiseman is struggling but has a nice swing (he's a lefty). Last year's group of Yaz, Gregor, Navin, Lupo, Conde, Castellano etc. have not hit well, the hitting starts have mostly been Harrell + Kemp + freshmen.

Freshmen pitchers are impressive. Beede and Nevin Wilson are still stuggling with their control. Beede was hitting the mid-90's and just about everybody is in the low nineties (excepting Pecararo who's best pitches are his other pitces.) Pec and Ziomek both looked good for 3 innings until they tired out on Thursday. Starters Beede and Fulmer gave up early runs on Friday, a lot due to walks, but looked pretty good otherwise.

See the other thread about Game 2 for more observations.
