Bat's entirely too slow - trade him.

CJ Alexander is 3-4 with a HR. Batting .391 with a .947 OPS with the Fire Frogs.

CJ seems to be on the fast track. He and Riley may make a great 3B combo

Kiley said last week that Alexander might be 1B only defensively. We’ll see.

Have a bad feeling we're gonna have to move him or Waters eventually, and i hope AA makes the right decision on it

I doubt we get ourselves in a position where one HAS to be traded. More likely that one of them will bust or Ender is gone by the time they are ready to come up. Lots of stuff can happen. Its pretty rare that a prospect is traded simply because there isn't a spot for him in the starting 9. Even if that does happen, worst case scenario is that you get a really good bench player for a really really cheap contract that will become a starter eventually.

Sort of surprised Jared James was released. Son of Dion James, really was a surprise after signing as a 34th round pick in 2016.

Hit .300 combined Rome and Danville in 2016, stole 11 bases, didn't strike out that much
Hit respectable .279-5-34 at Mississippi for all of 2017, and was then sent to AFL, where he hit .250 in 15 games.
This year, pushed back to Florida and reduced to partime player, was hitting .258-5-30 with 24 extra base hits in 78 games.

Definitely Waters if I had to choose. I don’t think we should move either one. If we can’t trade from pitching depth....don’t make the move.

I’ve heard Pache is the hardest working and most coachable player we have in the minors. Coaches love him. I don’t think they move him at all.

i don't see at all why this should even be on our radar right now...

I don't think that Weigel outing was actually yesterday. That was the resumption of a suspended game earlier in the year. He pitched an inning on Saturday, so I highly doubt they're bringing him back on two days rest to throw three innings.

Weigel entered in the 4th inning and went 3 innings. I seriously doubt he made the t to the 7th and then the game was suspended. I also doubt Weigel has gone 3 innings until today.
