Joba Chamberlain earned his 3rd win of the spring, Jordan Schafer and Pablo Sandoval continue to post multi-hit games, and sparsely used prospects David Cooper and Gerardo Parra tacked up a couple of base knocks yesterday. However, the top youngster was Kansas City Royals’ SS Mike Aviles whose 2-3 afternoon included his 2nd HR 5 RBI and 2 runs scored. The Royals young offense is rounding into shape and I fully believe that this team is one that will turn some heads this season.
