GDT 4/12 Minors Thread: Gant gets AAA start

[Braves1976]

Morales for Rome looks like a good find to me, I think he'll continue to hit well for a catcher. Speaking of catchers, Astudillo coming on after a slow start, back-to-back multi-hit games to get his average over .300 as usual. No strikeouts yet this year either, I doubt he'll ever have many the way he makes contact.

While you're on catchers, what happened to the AA catcher we had that got caught using roids?

Fredi promoted him to bench coach so that he could help Frediot make good decisions during the game..

Chris O'Dowd, son of former Rockies' GM Dan O'Dowd who sought out players of high character during his stint in Colorado, was suspended last July for PED use and was released this spring.

Soroka is off to a stellar start. If he gets a couple more MPHs on his fastball as he fills out, he could really be a top-tier guy. It's way early, but a guy has to get excited about something.

O'Dowd was signed by the White Sox this spring and is playing for Winston-Salem.

Dansby Swanson is 3-4 with his 2nd stolen base

In 15 years they won't be saying Jeterian, they'll be saying Swansonian.

Sorry. Swansonian is already taken.

I am super excited to watch him play live this summer. I hope he stays in High A so I can see him a lot, but I will be in the stands this weekend to watch him.

I'm so excited about him and Albies. Really, the whole system, but this guy could be an absolute steal for Shelby. (Well, Inciarte and Blair alone would of been incredible... lol)

One of the all-time great TV characters ... Barney Fife, Sam Malone, Dan from Night Court...

I don't think he should have ever been sent to A ball, and he is showing why. Seems he already needs to be promoted.

Edit to apologize: Just re-learned that he only has 100 ABS at the pro level, all coming in low A ball last year. Makes sense since he was literally just drafted. I guess high A was the logical destination for him!
