Yesterday at 02:55 AM1 day My first reaction was "Cannon - not again." But maybe he wasn't so bad: no walks, several Ks and several of the runs were unearned.Has there been a Shane Smith sighting anywhere? A rejuvenated Smith would be better than any trade.

His strike out rate was solid last season last season too (21.2% across A and A+, but mostly A). He's still got an OPS of .960 which is great, but that strikeout rate is rough. Up to 30% this season.

Even in the afterglow of a run-manufacturing rally

Even in the afterglow of a run-manufacturing rallyAwesome. Pulling it out for others.Bonemer looked solid as a rock as a hitting prospect last season because his contact rate, raw power and swing decisions -- the three principles -- all looked above-average. Whereas this year, he's voraciously pummeled fastballs to such an extreme degree that he's slugging .576 even after a prolonged cool-off period.That's great, but opposing pitchers have responded by peppering him with breaking balls. It's rare to see a hitter in High-A who sees more sliders than fastballs, but it has Bonemer's contact rate under 70 percent and his strikeout rate around 30 percent in the South Atlantic League.More than anything, Fuller sees this as a valuable challenge for Bonemer to confront for the first time as a 20-year-old in the minors, rather than in Chicago."He went a little heavy in one area, opposition made an adjustment, now we need to counteract that," Fuller said. "He wants to be that player and there are a few. Vargy's doing it right now -- above-average decisions, above-average contact, above-average damage -- Bonny's certainly got that skill set. That's why you play in the minor leagues. You find out where you need to make adjustments, whether that's swing, the approach you have, what you need to do in terms of training time every single day. That's going to be a fun one to find a way to make another adjustment and get on a heater again."
