Quite the day for Cedar Rapids. Buxton 4/5 with a 2B and 3B but he's being outshined by Walker who is 4/5 with 2 2Bs and 2 HRs.

3 years of an above average lead-off hitter/good fielding CF, a top 100 prospect, and an incredibly cheap set-up man for 2 years of a good #2 starter sounds like a terrible idea to me.

Gibson struck out 6 and only gave up 3 hits, 1 run and no walks in 4 innings. Very good to see. Sano with another HR as well.
