Cheering for Iggy

Every team has players who are a spark, players you cannot help but root for. Portland Sea Dogs middle ifielder Iggy Suarez is such a player. Outgoing and upbeat, Suarez is plugging along through the Red Sox minor league system.

Check out his take on facing Roger Clemens in today's Maine Sunday Telegram.

One update from Pawtucket, where the former Portland outfielders continue to shine. After last night's game, David Murphy is batting .306, Brandon Moss .304, and Jacoby Ellsbury .299.
