MINORS REPORT 4/15 TAX DAY! M-Braves try to play two on a blustery day everywhere
GIL GAINING GROUND ON LOST TIME
Don't know when the "J" became a "Y" but Yean-Carlos Gil has gotten off to the best start of any reliever in the Braves' system. So far for lowly Rome, he's worked 9.1 innings, allowing no runs, just 2 hits, with 3 BB and 9 strikeouts.
Three hitless innings Tuesday. Gil worked in just 13 games in 2013 (11 starts) and just five in 2012.
The good news is the lefty is just 23.
Bad news for another promising lefty. Carlos Perez walked four in two-thirds of an inning Tuesday, leaving him with a 19.29 ERA.
That breaks down thusly: in four games this year (Same as Gil), he's worked only 2.1 IP, allowing 2 hits, 11 walks, and just 2 Ks.

Minor will make final(?) start in AAA on the 18th. Floyd throws for Miss. the same night.
