Once again there were lots of great performances from the Hawaiian Winter League. One thing of note was the fact that Adam Loewen, the oft-injured, former top LHP prospect from the Baltimore Orioles is playing 1B for the West Oahu Cane Fires. At 6-5 235 lb., his development as a hitter is very intriguing to me. He is stll fairly young (24) and is worthy of watching closely. Here’s the rest of the report…
