The NSI Minor League Report: De Leon Keeps Raking

Thursday 6/25

Kelvin De Leon homered in his first at bat, and was walked the next three times. He's getting the Barry Bonds treatment as the opposition is indicating that he needs to get to the next level. Edwar Gonzalez is showing signs of breaking out of his slump as he homered twice, in a losing cause for Trenton. Melky Mesa also homered twice for Charleston.

Xavier Nady was removed in the 5th inning after experiencing pain in elbow, after making his 2nd throw of the game. Be prepared for the worst case scenario here. David Adams and Dan Brewer were promoted to Tampa.
