'Tis raining hard out here in Mill Creek, Washington but hopefully not too much in the rest of this land so they can get today's golden arms - Bundy, Cole, Wheeler, Walker, Ventura, Syndergaard, many more - slate of games in. Here are some of the expected starters today. Enjoy posting.

AAA - Simon Castro, Brian Matusz has pitched well in two starts since being demoted, Wily Peralta, Andrew Carraway goes for Tacoma and is a favorite of mine, Brad Peacock

AA - Gerrit Cole, Zach Wheeler, Taijuan Walker, Yordano Ventura makes second AA start after getting killed in his first, Daniel Corcino, John Hellweg.

A+ and A - Mr. Dylan Bundy goes for Fredrick, Tyler Matzek is always interesting, Adam Conley, Noah Syndergaard, Austin Wood

Mike Zunino is handing the Northwest League pretty well thus far eh? In six games he has a .455/ .520/ 1.000 line, wth 3 bombs, 3 doubles and, 22 total bases.

On the other hand, for those of you who like to feel that you could do as well as someone in the minor leagues, I offer you Washington Husky football recruit Shaquille-Green Thompson, playing this summer for the Red Sox's GCL affiliate . . .

Truly amazing.
