[scaffolds]

Ronald Bermudez who isn't only the team top hitter for average on the squad but on the division and has been the Sox CF for most of the season, but he isn't even the squad top center fielder, that would be Dominican Miguel Meregildo. Meregildo a 6-0 164 18 yrs is playing in his second year in DSL and its the team faster runner, however the right handed hitter doesn't know how to use his speed at the plate and its only hitting for a 132 average.
