When potential breakout prospect Victor Fernandez and first baseman Albert Baur went to the DL within a day of each other, the West Virginia Power were limping through their first home stand. Fernandez, who is riding the pine thanks to a hamstring injury, led the team with a .375/.444/.375 slash line and had swiped two bases in three games. Baur also contributed to the team, collecting a pair of RBI and a solid .267 batting average in his four games. Without their offense, the Power looked to be in deep trouble.
However, their untimely departures have opened up a second chance for several players from last year’s Power squad: Ty Moore and Carlos Munoz.
