I'd think this has to be one of Weigel's last few starts in Rome unless they decide to promote Fried once he is over his blister for a couple starts. With Touki, Allard, Soroka and Sanchez needing starts but probably not being ready for Carolina, I'd think one of the two get bumped up before August is done.

Good lord that Rome rotation has filthy talent in it right now. Weigel should be moved up. The Carolina rotation is pretty barren outside of Matt Withrow, whose future is as a reliever, IMO.
 
As strong as our farm system is, Lynchburg is almost completely barren of talent.

It always seems to happen each year that one of the minor league teams has little in terms of prospects. Carolina seems to have drawn the short straw this year. I'm surprised that some of the guys from Rome haven't moved up. Had Acuna not been hurt, I think either he or Didder would have been in Carolina by this point.
 
Weigel is cruising tonight. 6 IP, 6 K and the only person to get on base was due to an error.
 
In an interview Swanson more or less admitted that his first year in pro ball took a lot out of him and is the reason why he's struggling.

He's probably gassed.

Hursh has had a really solid July. 40-man decision looms on him. Curious to see what the decision is.
