Scouting Report, May 16, 2009.
"I think I finally came up with a player he compares best to, Sean Burroughs. He can't run all that fast and all he hits are singles, something you don't want out of a corner outfielder.

Week 5 - AA Portland "A Year Older."Portland - There weren't any presents or cakes at the stadium yesterday. Wine bottles? Maybe. For Rob Knowles, he gave himself a present in the form of a memorable performance against the New Britain Rock Cats.
In his first at-bat, Knowles hit a howitzer shot down the left field line and easily reached second while driving in the game's first run. He topped his performance with a couple of singles, one of them driving in the game-tying ... Read More

Chris Carter, the regular left fielder for the Sea Dogs, suffered a knee sprain late in the game. Rob Knowles, who has been the primary backup for the Sea Dogs, will be starting ... Read More

I was notified by my agent that I had earned player of the week honors from Baseball America based on my performance at the plate this week. There's certainly more for me to talk about this week, such as my four hit game.

"Another Week, Same Results"March 10, 2009
I thought the batting session with Mags went great on Tuesday. Again, I didn't play that game so I took extra batting practice. I don't think I'll make the big league club, but we'll see what plans they have for me. I don't think I've played well enough this spring.
