The Sea Monsters Are NY/Penn Stedler Division Leaders

By Rodger M. Wood

Led by shortstop Chih Fang Pan and right hander Seth Frankoff and Brent Powers, Oakland’s Rookie A NY Penn League Vermont Sea Monsters are a game and a half ahead of the Connecticut Tigers in the Stedler Division pennant race.

Pan is hitting 343, good for a league third highest batting average, Frankoff is 3-3 W-L, 3.19 ERA, and Powers 3-2, 4.15.

Also on the team are Baseball America’s 2011 #7 Oakland minor league prospect OF Aaron Shipman and BA #18 3B Chad Lewis.

I saw Vermont on Friday, July 15^th at Aberdeen’s beautiful Ripken Stadium.
