I know it due to rehab appearances (Gonzalez, even Lavastida), but this is a very impressive top 7 in the batting order for Akron..
I would be very interested to see what it could accomplish if together for 30 games or so...

Interesting that Tyler Freeman played 3B for the Clippers in the game tonight..
Arias was at SS but was removed early...
Game itself shortened due to rain but Clippers won...

could be a philosophical change/path created for the future MIF player and prospect pool

-Jose 3B
-Arias/Rocchio SS
-Gimenez 2B
-Naylor/Jones/Benson 1B

Clement, Miller and the rest of the pre 2024 prospect ready-group as utility..

...and subject to change w/r to inclusion of so many guys including the Fox and the Angel..

Time will tell...
