Another week goes by, and the Hawaii Tropics continue to ply good ball. 4-3 this time, and 15-9 for the season. That's good for second place in the Frick Pacific, out by only on half of a game. Let's see why...
Tropics Fan Favorite Mike Campbell has finally gotten going. I'm talking to you BBA, consider yourselves warned. In a week that saw him hit .520 with a 1.493 OPS, two home runs and nine RBI, he's just getting started. For the season he is at .253/.348/.495, with five HR and 21 RBI. Campbell may be the guy that turns into the face of the franchise.
A guy whom many feel is the face of the franchise, due to his heritage, Manny Aguilar Jr keeps swinging a fat stick. For the week, .310 with two HR and six RBI, with a 1.049 OPS. For the season, .320/.384/.620 with seven HR and 21 RBI. Manny may not be as good as his father, BUT, he has already played more seasons than him.
Catcher Steffen Petersen is considered by many a late bloomer in BBA circles, and that may be the case. Due to the weakness in the Hawaii organization at the position, his time is now. Steffen hit three HR this week, and that's really all he did. It's significant for him though. He's playing pretty well behind the dish too.
An observation to note. The offense has been amazing to start the season so far. Currently they're top three in every category except batting average (5th), and strikeouts (9th) which is pretty good. Number one is runs scored is pretty significant too, but it does follow the trend from the second half of last season. The disturbing part is how bad the pitching has been. Other than the top few starters, the bottom half has been bad. The bullpen has been bad too, but we won't go there. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Go Tropics!!
