I noticed that Rojas and Cunniff were on Gwinnett early this week. I literally saw them on Saturday with Mississippi and then on Monday or Tuesday saw stats for them in AAA.. thought I had too many beers on Saturday..

I tell you Rojas and Swanson and Peterson talked a lot. you could see them talking about the pitcher and his stuff.. it was really cool to see.

There are some differences from the roster that was leaked on Twitter. No Cumberland or Harrington on the official roster as of now.

Harrington's absence is odd. he was interviewed by a local TV station on Tuesday.

[Coach_Chris]

What is the purpose of sending Allard down?

EDIT: I see their is a whole new thread for this. Never mind.

[dak]

From @gondeee . . . Meneses and Odom promoted to MIS, Lien activated from DL for MIS. Been looking forward to Lien getting back. Another guy that would have a shot at contributing next year.

[Garmel]

Riley hits a bomb.

[Tapate50]

In a system devoid of position players, getting Lien back on track is very good news

[UNCBlue012]

Ruiz is 3-3. Dude is on fire!

Dansby is 2-3 and just hit a homer!

[praeceps93]

Fried with an awesome outing. 6.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER (HR), 6 K, 0 BB.

[rico43]

Two new names with Carolina: Isaias Tejeda, a catcher, was in Yankees farm system from 2010-2015; was hitting .351 with York of Atlantic League. Never played higher than Class A.

The other is second baseman Jose Fernandez -- and I need your help. Put this in a separate thread. Is this the Cuban second baseman Jose Miguel Fernandez who held a tryout on June 13 with Lazarito??? No activity I can find pro or con? HELP

[Pachoo]

Not the Cuban, this one is Dominican and not much of a prospect.

Morris looked really good pitching for MS tonight. Low 90's fastball followed by a low 70's change up. Had the hitters he faced off balance.

Whalen, Gant and now Morris. That's a heck of a return for Kelly Johnson.

I completely understand why they did it, but we completely fleeced the Mets.

Saw Morris live on Saturday last week. Really liked his stuff. He got wild towards the last of his second inning. But his stuff was electric.

Can we start getting excited about him yet??

Last 4 starts he has gone 22ip, 17H, 4ER, 8BB, 26K 1.64 ERA with a 1.13 WHiP

I think so. If he keeps this up he should see a promotion to Carolina.

[bravesfanMatt]

Honestly, I think he needs to stay in Rome.. I would imagine his innings are going to be limited.

I've been excited about him! His stuff was rusty at first, but holy crap that guy's pitches are crisp and his mechanics are beautiful.
