Marc Church, a 20 year old righthanded pitcher, has been assigned to the Down East Wood Ducks of the Low-A...whatever cardinal direction that division has been assigned as a placeholder name, according to Scott Lucas.
Why am I doing a post about a pitcher most of us have never heard of, and who didn’t appear on any prospect lists this offseason? (I mean, aside from the fact I didn’t really post anything today and am feeling bad about that).

The most dominant inning I've seen in a while came from a guy whose name I didn't know until I looked at the lineup card today.
