Lakewood's season is over. Here's Mickey Morandini's thank-you letter to the fans. Final regular-season OPS: Kelly Dugan .857, Josh Ludy .786, Maikel Franco .775, Aaron Altherr .722, Alejandro Villalobos .684, Brian Pointer .678, Gauntlett Eldemire .677, Gabriel Lino .645. A number of guys showed substantial improvement over the course of the season following horrendous starts, which would seem to reflect well on Morandini and his staff.
