I was at the game Saturday. In my opinion Maxwell looks and moves like a major leaguer, the ball explodes off of his bat. I think he is going to have a great season. He is the best pure athlete I have seen on the Island in a while. On the Akron side the player that stood out to me was Wes Hodges. He hit a shot out to CF, looks to have tons of power.

Scott,

Thanks for the update.
I agree with your view of Maxwell. He has tons of talent. Hopefully he can stay healthy (that has been a issue for him in the past).

I liked Hodges as well. Also liked SS – Joshua Rodriguez. Chuck Lofgren projects well too.
