Starting pitchers to look for today:
Carlos Carrasco, Wade Davis, Charlie Morton, Gio Gonzalez, David Purcey, Henry Sosa, Kyle Drabek, Kasey Kiker, Esmil Rogers, Ben Hornbeck, Trevor Harden, Dan Hudson, Dan McDaniel, Matt Fairel, Casey Crosby, Brett Marshall, Trey Haley, Jason Knapp, Gregory Infante
Post away.
Poll for today... The Philadelphia Phillies have two outstanding outfield prospects in Dominic Brown and Michael Taylor. Both are raking - Brown in High-A and Taylor in Double-A. Brown's almost two years younger. Between the two, who comes out higher for you?

Some big time promotions today….
Mets promoted both Brad Holt and Jenrry Mejia to AA, as the Yankees did with Jesus Montero.
Poll
That’s a really good poll, I personally voted for Brown, but I’d be curious as to why people voted either way.
I voted Brown
but I don’t see them as that far apart. Brown is probably in the 15-20 range for me at this point, with Taylor in the 30-40 range. Both are very good players, I definitely wish one(or both) of them was in the A’s farm system.
RIP Nick Adenhart
Twins promoted Carlos Gutierrez and Alex Burnett?
Does anyone know much about Burnett? What kind of stuff does he have?
I saw..
his rough 3rd inning, plus a couple other batters. Curve looked filthy, but he left his FB up in the zone quite a bit. Looked like the wind may have helped him out a bit on Dlugach’s double, too, which hit at the top of the wall in LF.

isn’t 13K’s a bit of an outlier for him though? He didn’t have more than 4 in any of his prior starts this year. I’ve been offered Davis in exchange for Poreda, but I’m thinking of holding onto Poreda. Seems like he more consistently gets the K’s and has more front-line potential, even if he’s not quite as polished as Davis at this point.
jeff bianchi: 1-4, HR
promotion please. he’s been handling high-a for over a year now.
baseball rules.
well, iowa took the time to lose already
didn’t even know it was an afternoon game. lost 3-0 to nashville.
Greg Reinhard – 2.1 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 2 K, 1 HBP. He’s a middle reliever if he makes it up, but considering the Cubs pen struggles this year, he might be a thought. He’s been excellent out of the pen this year. Of the 13 runs he’s given up this year, 6 were as a starter.
Steve Clevenger – 2/3, 1 2B. The one positional guy with decent-solid prospect value at Iowa, he can hit, but am curious if the power he showed at AA this year was real.
Tennessee and Daytona
Btw, nice job saving the thread.
Tennessee lost to Carolina 4-3.
Tony Thomas – 0/4, 1 K. The nosedive continues. Wow. I mean, yes, he was overachieving, but wow.
Tyler Colvin – 2/3, 1 R, 1 solo shot, 1 RBI. Assist. This was a nice line to see. Here’s hoping he can find the stroke he had at the end of last year and perhaps push for AAA later this summer.
Daytona got shelled by Charlotte 8-1.
Dan McDaniel – loss, 2.2 ip, 6 h, 6 r (5 earned), 3 bb, 4 K. One of my favorite prospects, he got shelled. After a hot start, he’s had some inconsistencies of late. Considering he was pushed to Daytona, this shouldn’t be a huge shock, particularly since there’s a bigger scouting report now, but it is disappointing to see. Here’s hoping he adjusts. He’s at his best when his sinker is working so that he can get that groundball, but also has K stuff.
Luke Sommer and Dustin Sasser – both 1 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 2 K’s. Both lefties have had solid years, and lefties create value. Anyhow, probably something I’m more intrigued with.
Henry Williamson – 3.1 ip, 2 h, 2 unearned runs, 1 bb, 3 K’s. The raw arm intrigues me, but that’s just me being a Cubs fan.
Not much to mention positionally – only 2 hits on the night. Daytona could really use a jolt of Josh Harrison and Josh Vitters.
Peoria v. Beloit ... twice
First game was the completion from the night before. Peoria won 3-2.
Chris Archer – 2 ip, 1 h, 1 r, 4 bb, 2 K’s, 2 WP (last night)
Chris Huseby – 3rd save, 1 scoreless
Junior Lake – 1/4, 2 R, 1 K
Josh Harrison – 1/2, 1 2B, 2 BB, 1 K
Josh Vitters – 1/4, 1 K
Rebel Ridling – 2/4, 2 RBI, E.
Peoria won game 2, 2-1 in 7.
Junior Lake – 1/3, 1 R, K
Josh Harrison – 1/2.
Josh Vitters – 0/3.
Rebel Ridling – 1/3, 2 RBI.
Hanson promoted
according to a friend, ill post evidence if i find it
poll
I figured Brown would win, but I thought it would be pretty competitive. Surprised that it’s nearly 7/10 for Brown.
why?
Just curious as I see Brown basically as good or better in most cat’s except power. If you want to make it stat based I’ll take Brown’s High A at 21 over Taylors last year at 22.
Sean Rodriguez
out of lineup again, any status on him replacing Kendrick? Angels fans, who would you rather have?
Adoptive parent of Kyle Nicholson
Brett Marshall
7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 Ks. He’s on a nice little run.
Some Rangers
Guillermo Moscoso (now at AAA): 6.0IP 6H 1R 1ER 0BB 3K 0HR
Julio Borbon: 2-4 BB
Kasey Kiker: 6.0IP 3H 3R 3ER 4BB 3K 0HR
Blake Beaven: 6.0IP 7H 2R 1ER 1BB 6K 0HR
Joey Butler: 3-6 2B 2RBI SB
Go Rangers...don't suck...
Esmil Rogers
8 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 5 Ks.
For the season: 5.8 BB%, 22.8 K%, 2.71 ERA (2.76 FIP). Considering that he’s a converted infielder, these are excellent (and age-appropriate) numbers for a 23 year old in AA.
