The New Hampshire Fisher Cats' (lost 1-5) most important players:

Zach Stewart: 3 walks, 1 hit by pitch and just 2 strikeouts in 5.1 IP. 9 groundballs, 8 flyballs, 3 line drives given up, 4 earned runs on 7 hits. Not a good start by any means.

Carreno: 1 walk, 1 hbp and 2 strikeouts in 2 IP. 3 groundballs, 2 flyballs. no earned runs given up on one hit.

Farina: no walks, 3 strikeouts, 1 line drive double, no runs scored.

Also of note: Gose stole two bases, one of them was stolen even though they got him picked off (source: GoFisherCats twitter page).

The Dunedin Blue Jays' (lost 1-10) most important players:

Deck McGuire: 1 walk, 1 hbp and 5 strikeouts in 4 IP (in relief). 2 groundballs, 8 flyballs, 1 line drives. Strikeouts are good but flyballs are bad, just one start though, and this was his first pro start! Go Deck!

A.J. Jimenez: lineout, groundout, groundout

Also of note: Sean Ochinko opened his season going 2-for-4 with a line drive base hit and a flyball double.

Disclaimer: yes, I know it's pretty subjective who one considers "most important". In my opinion I've got our most important prospects listed here. Dunedin is pretty barren, but Lansing has some exciting position players like Perez, Marisnick, Crouse..
