Henry Rodriguez promoted from Stockton to Midland

by sdbaseballfan on Apr 19, 2008 3:23 AM EDT

Rodriguez is scheduled to make his first Double-A start on Sunday versus San Antonio.

The best rotation in minor league baseball has finally been broken up. The way he's been pitching I don't see this as an alarming move. Texas League is a formidable challenge, but I don't think he's going to miss a beat.

With all the talk Stockton's rotation has received, Midland is one promotion away from having a strong distinction for that argument itself with Simmons, Bailey and now Rodriguez.

Promotion

I’m thinking Cahill probably won’t be in Stockton much longer. He’s been even more dominant than Rodriguez. De Los Santos has been getting roughed up and we’ll see what Anderson does after the beating in his last start.

Italiano will probably get bumped to Stockton fairly soon to take a spot. Oakland probably wants to see exactly what they have since I think he is Rule 5 eligible this year (or next).

AA rotation

dont forget Ryan Webb, who had a disastrous 07, but has started well. 04 4th rd HS pick, he apparently is throwing mid 90’s, so that would be a nice surprise. also mike madsen who dominate AA in 07, but has been pushed down the depth chart and is repeating AA

Mazzaro
Bailey
Simmons
Hrod
Madsen
Webb
