Aaron Northcraft has done nothing so far to justify his midseason promotion to Triple-A Gwinnett. JR Graham has done nothing to justify his being allowed to keep his uniform.
But Northcraft isn't quite demoted and Graham isn't quite released/shelved with his ongoing arm problems. But today's start could easily be their last for their current team.
UPDATE: Northcraft did not pitch badly in loss, but G-Braves offense is nonexistent.
Graham goes to perfect innings; he and Greg Ross combine to retire 16 straight to start game against horrid Pensacola.
