(Photo: Kinston Indians)The 2011 Kinston Indians are an enigmatic team, that's for sure. This week, they won three straight games, with 10+ hits in each game. With that said, they don't have a single player that's hitting the ball all that well. They have two players batting over .300, with only one registering enough bats to show up on the Batting Leaders for the team. They have one player with more...

Here is a listing of some new videos recently added to my You Tube page that I shot and edited from spring training. These are videos of players in the Indians' system that I have not previously uploaded any videos for or whom have very outdated and old videos on my You Tube page. I have tons of video from spring training of other players, but will upload those videos over the course of the year as...
