[USML Announce] Rips Wil Be Just Fine, Thank You

[Brad Jansen]

*ITEM*

It would be pretty easy to look at Wil Myers' statistics and wonder if
anything's wrong. Talk to the slugger and he'll tell you the answer --
nothing. The *Rays top prospect

twice Tuesday night and helped Triple-A Durham rally for a 9-8 triumph over
visiting Buffalo.

Myers slugged a two-run shot in the seventh inning that hit off the fourth
balcony in left-center field, a shot described as "one of the *longest hit
at Durham Bulls Athletic
Park*<https://twitter.com/DurhamBulls/status/339554293675855872>."
He connected for another two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, lifting
the Bulls into an 8-8 tie.

Batting .298 after a 2-for-4 performance on May 2, Myers went 10-for-62
over his next 18 games as his average dipped to .244. Since then, he's gone
deep five times, driven in 15 runs and is riding a six-game hitting streak.
Despite the slump, the 22-year-old outfielder never felt like anything was
wrong, except, perhaps, his luck.

*WINNER*

Riptorns. Myers will provide scuffling team the mid-season jolt it will
need to stay in the money as this squad *STARTS TO HEAT UP.  *

*LOSER*

Berliners. Owner touts prospects when on his team, trashes the same guys
when he trades them away, but in this instance the* BERLINERS ARE GONNA GET
BURNED. *
