Which game should I go to?

So I am going to Winston-Salem and Hickory this weekend, and I had planned to go to the Crawdads game on Saturday evening. I found out (thanks to Kinslerhomer) that Cliff Springston is going. I had originally thought it would be Martin Perez, but I can't count.

So should I go see the WInston-Salem Dash take on the Wilmington Blue Rocks Sunday or the Hickory Crawdads take on the Kannapolis Intimidators Saturday?

Help please, and I promise I will report back on what I saw (I am leaning toward Saturday because I'll have to make a 5 hour drive Sunday but the better prospects seem to be going Sunday).

I'm not telling that he'll pitch but

if your lucky, Wilmer Font might pitch in relief on Saturday.

since i'd like to hear what you think about garrett johnson

my vote is for hickory versus kannapolis. but i’m probably approximately the only person who cares about random white sox prospects such as johnson. of course, winston-salem has jordan danks, which is interesting, too. needs to cut those strikeouts, though.

and Moustakas plays for Williamsburg.

I know there are a lot of Royals/Rangers fans around here, so which team should I see against the White Sox crappy farm teams (no offense).

As a Rays fan, I don’t know a great deal about any of these teams systems (a passing knowledge of their top 10-15), so any input on who to look for would be helpful.

kannapolis has a pretty interesting rotation this year.

but, yeah, offense is awful. and winston-salem is just useless outside of danks.

giavotella plays for the blue rocks. robinson is there, too, right? he’s certainly an exciting player to watch. whether that translates to higher levels…

Wilmington

is the Royals most exciting team this year. Derrick Robinson, Johnny Giavotella, Moose, Jeff Bianchi, and David Lough are the teams 1-5 hitters and are all top 20 prospects in the system (IMO). Some people also like OF Adrian Ortiz, I don’t really.

Duffy is scheduled to go Sunday I think…

If you go see Hickory...

…some guys on offense to watch are: Clark Murphy, Matt West, Mike Bianucci, and Leonel De Los Santos. And some relievers to watch are: Fabio Castillo, Font, and little Joe Ortiz.
