Ellis was great in the first three innings. Nine up, nine down.

Fourth was a bad inning. Mobile scored six runs with four hits, a walk, and a hits batsman. An error also factored in
 
Albies with a hit, sac fly and SB tonight. Swanson has a hit. Riley is 1-3 with an RBI-single but he has two errors.
 
Is he playing multiple positions?

He had been playing second base in AAA but had been practicing in OF too and started in CF tonight. Of course he played LF in MLB this year too. Further, Jace is a natural shortstop and athletic enough that like Prado he can probably play almost anywhere. Texas has Desmond now in CF and he's done good there after playing before this year only infield. A lot of shortstops can play most positions including CF.

Yup. Someone like Peraza is going to end up playing just about everywhere.
 
Some observations from tonight's game in Mobile:

Chris Ellis: As mentioned above, fourth inning was a bad one. Did allow a couple baserunners in the fifth, but didn't allow any more damage. His control just went away in the 4th. First three, he was great.

Dansby Swanson: 1-3 with a single and a walk. Didn't get a chance to show his defense.

Dustin Peterson. Drove in one run the hard way with a bases loaded HBP.

Dian Toscano: Single and a walk. Showed off the arm a couple times, throwing lasers from RF to third base, not allowing runners to advance.
 
Dykstra '15 at Rome... .348/.378/.478

Dykstra '16 at Rome... .319/.367/.391

How long before he gets promoted to Carolina?

What's your impression on Toscano? He look like a player?
