JB Moss promoted to Carolina A+... aggressive promotion

Very much so. Thanks for the heads up.

Moss has hit .333 since July 1 with nine RBIs.

Outfielder is 7th round pick out of Texas A&M (Minter's school), has played all of 24 professional games so far

Daris is released in corresponding move.

[rico43]

Carolina reliever Sean McLaughlin on temporary inactive list.

Rome activates Salazar from DL; SS Josephina moved from Rome to GCL.

Derian Cruz, Cristian Pache moved to Danville from GCL!

RHP Luis Perez released from GCL roster

[WaitingFor2017]

Excited about Povse. When is his ETA for Atlanta?

[Preacher]

Love our international duo from last year; Cruz/Pache are two of our more exciting talents at the lower levels.

Also, seeing their success has to give a Braves fan some good thoughts regarding the class we signed this year.

[KB21]

As a Mississippi State fan, I watched a lot of teams roll through Starkville. By far the best team I saw play against Mississippi State was Texas A&M. That team was legitimate. They could hit the ball. If I'm not mistaken, they had the best offensive team in the SEC. JB Moss was a part of that. His upside is limited, but anytime you can do what he did in the SEC, you have some ability.

[praeceps93]

So far, Mike Soroka through 5 with 4 H, 0 BB, 5 K, 0 R.

[Hudson2]

In 2 more years it's gonna be really interesting to see what we do with all of this pitching if it keeps progressing like it is. Good problem to have though.

[IslandBrave]

Lien with 2 bombs tonight.

[50PoundHead]

R.P. Didder continues to be a puzzling prospect. His main claim to fame is his ability to get plunked with pitches, but he's shown a little more power this year and supposedly has some pretty decent tools.

[50PoundHead]

40-man roster decisions looming on both Lien and Camargo. Curious to see what they do. I can see a case being made to protect either or both and vice-versa. I think Camargo is the better prospect, but I don't think either projects as a surefire regular at the big league level.

I think Lien is the better prospect. He's a 5 tool guy that has started to put those tools together in the past two years.

Rojas jr 2-3, 2b, 3b

[msstate7]

Swanson 2-5, hr

[nsacpi]

Soroka back on the beam after scuffling in his last start.

[ball4life32]

Cruz 2-5 Pache 3-4 in their debut with Danville.

Some tough choices. I wonder if they will add Astudillo given the shortage of catching options in the upper levels.

Yeah, this is gonna be tricky. One name I overlooked on my last sweep of guys who need to be protected this winter is Max Fried. So the list of players to consider is getting pretty long: Fried, Ruiz, Sims, Whalen, Camargo, Lien, Hursh, Janas (might be missing a couple). Whalen will almost certainly claim his spot this Wednesday. The last 4 certainly aren't locks, but all are playing well. Fringe guys like Daniel Castro that are currently holding a spot are in a precarious position.

Great comeback by Gwinnett
