Sequera is going to be interesting to watch as the season goes on. Young but good velo.

We will see.

2 1/2 - 3 1/2 weeks into the minor league season

thoughts: Starting pitching isn't half bad. Relief pitching is 1/8 good....it's bad. Springfield should be undefeated, as should Palm Beach. Peoria's BP has lost a few close games....their Offense has been pretty brutal in the early going, so that didn't help. Memphis is opposite of the other 3...their Starters have had some pretty awful outings. The BP has Svanson and Granillo and Taylor, that''s about it, but the rest haven't been too terrible

Palm Beach starter vs. BP ERA ~ 2.70 ERA, 1st FSL. 6.75 ERA. 8th BP in FSL (10 teams)
