See who gets to the majors first.  Chances are neither one will (sigh).  Maybe they can face off in wiffle ball.
I'll just sprinkle in a few other notes here for good measure:
Nick Franklin seriously had two more walks.  He now has 10 walks in his last 7 games (vs. 5 K) -- moving his eye ratio over 1 for the season -- 16 BB/15 K.
Paxton is not the only one making his Clinton debut this week.  21-year-old OF Jabari Blash is an 8th-round pick from St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Big kid at 6-4, 195.  Last year at Pulaski he put up the very interesting .266/.362/.477 line, but he's another one of those guys who strikes out too much. Interestingly, he drew 3 walks last night in his 2nd game of the season.
Optimism!: to be 10-15 without your best defensive player, without your closer, without your best hitter for a week, with your infield defense unsettled, with your bullpen not exactly lights out [Fkey7 standard-issue Chris Ray snark here], with your 2nd-best SLG being a utility infielder, with a potential key offensive puzzle piece still in AAA . . .   Could be worse!
