Eight games into the season, and the Blue Rocks are suffering from the same plight that plunged last year's squad into the basement - no offense. On paper they have more talent than last year, but that talent isn't playing as a team just yet. That chemistry may come later rather than sooner as their top player thus far - outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (left) - is hitting too well to stay in the Carolina League for long.
Unfortunately, Rocks fans were spoiled by the Royals' big-league suffering, which led to high draft picks, which led to lots of talent funneling through Wilmington.
That's not going to happen with most organizations, much less the Red Sox. Rocks fans may have to suffer through another "subpar" year. But take heart, the Rocks can shop around for another affiliation next season. Hello Devil Rays!
