---------------

DSL All-Star Game
American 4, National 3
 
Decent AAA debut for Whalen. Struggled in the 4th inning, giving up 2 runs, but struck out 6 and allowed 6 baserunners (4 hits, 2 BB) in 5 innings.
 
Apparently swapped Whalen for Banuelos, but the announcement was not well-done. Glad to see someone handle a AAA promotion for a change.
 
Allard was my #1 pitching prospect coming into the season and is proving why! IMHO he was probably the best prospect in last years draft! So glad he fell to the Braves due to the back issues.

We probably planned to send him to Danville all along but let him pitch a few times in Rome once he was ready to get him on the mound before Danville's seasons started.

I think we read too much into guys changing levels sometimes.

Once he was there though and showed he belonged, why drop him down a level that he's too good for?

He had 3 starts... His first starts of the year. He did struggle in the first 2, but was very solid in the 3rd (5.0 ip 3 h 1 er 0 bb 5 k). Since those first 2 bad starts to the year, here's his totals...

32.1 ip 21 h 4 er 5 bb 38 k 1.12 era

So, while I guess it's technically true allard struggled at Rome, he's been a totally different pitcher since his 3rd start that was at Rome

Unless we are at the games, we only see things in two dimensions. As long as they were upfront with Allard about their plans, I don't think we (or he) should take too much issue with where he's playing. From the milb.com interview published earlier in the week, Allard didn't seem at all out-of-joint with how things have unfolded.
