Hopefully the rest before the regional allows some sort of reset for the players and excites a few to play their best. I was checking this year's statistics and compared it to last year's and noticed that among the starters there really was no improvement over last. One or two players improved in one or two categories, but nothing really major. Galvan made some progress in a few areas- his b.a. was up about 10 points, his walks were up and he has a few more HRs. His Ks are similar. Gasparino's walks doubled and his Ks were down, but everything else was similar. Schuessler's avg. is down about 30 points and Flores' avg. plummeted from .340 to .248 and his HRs are down some. It is hard to judge Max since he missed so much time.
