On the fast track
Washington center fielder Chris Sidick won the fastest baserunner competition Tuesday night at the Frontier League's All-Star skills competition in Traverse City, Mich. Running from first base to third, Sidick was timed in 6.57 seconds, edging Traverse City's Mike Goetz by .02. Sidick finished second to Traverse City's Mike Epping in the outfielder's throwing accuracy contest.
Washington's Jacob Dempsey led the home-run derby after the first round with nine homers but the event was won by Florence's Angel Molina.
Sidick and Dempsey will be in the starting lineup for the East Division in tonight's All-Star Game. Dempsey will be the designated hitter and bat sixth with Sidick playing center field and hitting ninth.

Heard Dempsey got 3rd place overall in the homerun derby (out of 26). Not bad at all.
Ledbetter works the second inning.
Handles line drive. Gloves comebacker. Strikes out third batter.
This is why it amazes me that every time Sidick leads off an inning by walking or getting a single, our coaches elect to sacrifice bunt behind him. Why do we always give an out instead of allowing Chris the chance to steal second?
Also, Phil Butch does a lot of good things, but his sacrifice bunting is horrible.
