Prior to the Saturday scrubs game Bill Brown had a discussion with Rickey Bennett about various players in the farm system. The answers were fairly 'generic', but here are some of the notes i took from that conversation:
• Norris – doing a pretty good job, still learning. He’s been starting and building up his stamina and working on his changeup.
• Yordanni – worked with the RR coaches at the beginning of the season on changing his approach at the plate, and he’s been hitting well this year.
• Manzella – hitting better, using the whole field.
• Maysonette – see him as more of a utility player, can play all infield position and even the outfield a bit.
• Locke – clutch hitter, plays both left and right field, and Bennett is very happy where he is and what he has done this season.
• Castro – doing well defensively. His game calling and blocking are getting better, and in time think he is going to be a very good offensive player.
