In AAA Wendzel, Thompson, Duran, Huff are the only guys that need to play everyday IMO,

edit: sorry I'd be playing Apostel too, but he's currently hurt

Huff - C/1B/DH
Wendzel - 2B/3B
Duran - OF
Thompson - OF
Apostel - 1B/DH/3B

Not sure if they're putting Duran in CF because you can't really take plays off like you can in LF, sort of a crash course in playing the OF maybe?

The thing is, when it matters the most, we will probably have 3 or 4 starters in the rotation that aren't even on the team now. Meaning, when we are actually in a pennant race.
Well needed to be more clear. Talking about hitters and defense and late innings guys But yes pitching wise definitely agree

I think they actually want to get Duggar ABs but it just doesn't make sense at the ML level unless its done at the expense of Calhoun
i understand the thinking but if we sent him down to AAA i would them be concerned that he would be taking ABs there from Duran. here he sits gets the occasional start in LF or when Adolis or Kole needs a break

Actualy here he's mostly taking ABs away from Tavares

I've already addressed who they should start in AAA, and it seems they're pretty committed to Duran playing everyday, even at the expense of a superior defensive option in CF

you got me wrong. 5 or 6 starts a week the outfield should be Kole, Taveras & Adolis with Duggar and/or Miller getting maybe 1 start a week to give a day off to one of them at a time with Kole covering RF for Adolis to get a day

After his first 6 starts at Hickory, Owen White's ERA sat at 5.08. He then had one decent start and 3 really good starts there before his promotion. If he was indeed working on his pitches without worrying about results, he should become the poster boy for the organization to encourage others to trust the process.

Or maybe he struggled that much for an unknown reason. In that case, never mind. Lol

I noticed he never answered my question about why only 2 of our prospects had a future in our rotation.
I suspect he still has a man crush on Kershaw

Sucks that the game was suspended

I think Ryan Garcia will move up the ranks very fast and be a top prospect by end of year
