There weren’t really a lot of true stars or top prospects playing for Pawtucket on Friday, but there were some strong performances. It’s been a rough year for Barfield who has likely fallen on the outfield depth chart since spring, but he finally showed some on-base skills. Ohlman is someone who won’t see the majors without at least one injury to a catcher, but he’s hitting the ball just about as well as he ever has in the majors. Cuevas is also more of an emergency pitcher, but like Ohlman he’s performing well and could see the majors with another team next year if he keeps pitching like this.
