Talking Chop

Not too much going on in the winter leagues this week. Tyler Flowers has been finding his groove at the plate in the AFL, but not behind the plate, and Tommy Hanson got the jitters out of the way. Over in Hawaii, Kala Ka'aiue has found his power stroke, and neither Jordan Schafer nor Eric Campbell got off to a good start in the first week of the Mexican League.
