Wades OB% is great - 6 walks in 2 games! Is his approach at the plate passive? Or is his eye that good?

Mitch Garver has only played in 13 of Rochester's 23 games? What the heck is that about? Has he been hurt?

I have been under the impression that Tepesch is on the team as a bullpen arm. So I am not worked up that is he is on the roster. But if he gets multiple starts I might start looking for my pitchfork. I would rather Berrios get starts over Hughes and keep starting Gibson every 5th day for at least a few more months. This team is a fringe playoff team at best. So they have to give as many starts as they can to young players - in AAA or MLB.

Chris Paul He is having a good start at the plate but his fielding % isn't so great. However hopefully we all know that error rate is a bad way to evaluate guys in the low minors. Wondering if anyone has seen him play 3B in the field?

Southern League Series are often 5 games at once. I would guess its cheaper

Wow. Goodrum looks like a man amongst boys up there. thanks for posting that video. Looks like he is struggling in the field at SS. I would like him to get some reps at 3B. There isn't any viable 3B options in they system until you get to FM and find Chris Paul.

Stewart was my "Pick to Click" this year. Travis Harrison was my "pick to click" in 2015 & 2016. I don't know why I bother...

Thanks for the Cederoth video. The added movement has to make it harder for a batter to pick up the ball. You see stuff like that and you have to wonder where that came from

The average age of Cedar Rapid's starting rotation is 23?? Am I reading that right? Yow

Lewin Diaz is heating up a bit after a cold start. Hopefully he can keep it up and improve his on base numbers

Not some sites. Virtually every Site (including the Twin's affiliate that he plays for) http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=649143#/career/R/pitching/2017/ALL http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa877857&position=P http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=wells-000lac https://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/5920/spring

For the minors, thats true. The good thing about Wells is he is young enough that we can hope he gets some more speed on that FB. Because for most MLB pitchers, if you are under 90 mph consistently you become Tommy Milone.

He turns 22 in 35 days. That is not young for Low A ball. Del Rosario ave'd only 5.1 innings as a starter in 16 games at CR last year. He has to figure out how to get out of these jams or get moved to the bullpen. Also I don't care about wins at Cedar Rapids (or ERA). I care about player development. And its time for the development staff to step in and tell Watkins how to manage.

I’ve liked Goodrum too. If he stops striking out a lot and if he could play 3B at the MLB level I think he could have a shot. But he is 25 and probably he is what he is at this point.

Not a great day for the system yesterday. I think if Stewart gets rocked a few times maybe that is not so bad. With his ability to induce weak contact he hasn't had to change it up much over his career. If he struggles against better AA competition, it will force him to alter his approach and hopefully go for the K a bit more. - Reports say he has the ability. I would've liked to see Del Rosario get a chance to pitch himself out of that jam in the 4th. He is not so young anymore and if he is going to be a starter, he has to learn how to get out of those situations.

Lewis Thorpe shows on the Cedar Rapids roster on the DL. Is that considered EST?

Did Fort Myers play under the new extra innings rules yesterday?

Just go to www.milb.com Go to the team page and click "multimedia" Rochester: http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?sid=t534 Chat: http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?sid=t498

I'd like to see him at 3B. Seems like this is an organizational need - (who is the back up to Sano?) So if there is an injury 3B would be his fastest path the majors. If his power is real, and if he can play decently in the field it seems like a no-brainier for him

Any word on Luis Arraez's injury?

I am amazed to see that Luke Bard is still pitching. Hope he can stay healthy

Looking forward to reading these the rest of the season. But I have to concur with the FM head scratching Wells in the bullpen? Rodriguez as the opening day starter? Zander Wiel batting 2nd? None of that makes a lot of sense. Hopefully this is an opening day aberration and not a trend

The internet still has Lachlan at 5-8 163 while his Twin brother is at 6-1 190 I hope Lachlan's page just hasn't been updated.

Kernels website has Blankenhorn as the DH? Boy I hope he plays in the field every day. If he can't cut it at in the infield, put him in the OF.

I will be keeping an eye on Chris Paul. Pre 2016 I thought he had potential to be a fast mover. He took a big step backwards last year. Would be nice to see him regain form
