I'd say there's more offensive potential on this team, but I wouldn't necessarily say they're better offensively... But they’ve also had those tight, low scoring games as well.

I think they are. Seemed like last year's squad won a lot of low scoring games where the Thunder this year are steamrolling a lot of people.

He comes up last week from A ball, starts off poorly (1-12??). Now, however, he has his average at .250, which is fine considering where he was after 3 games. He also has 8 RBIs in 6 games, including a HR. He also threw someone out yesterday. I believe the scouting report on him was that he had a gun for an arm. They say the jump from A ball to AA is the toughest. So far, the results have been promising, although not spectacular. And I believe that no one had this guy as a highly rated prospect over the winter. How about Gonzalez?
