DH

 

[CJ9]

Acuna will finish 1-4 with a single, two strikeouts and one walk.

least he's walking a good bit

 

[msstate7]

Just noticed camargo played SS today. Trying to figure out whether to keep flaherty or culberson I suppose

 

[Garmel]

Does Riley get promoted to AAA when Camargo goes? Bautista probably won't be ready anytime soon. Maybe Rio takes back over 3B at AAA?

Nah. AA isn't about the promotion train

Afternoon double rainbow!

Have to wonder why Borders is hanging on. 21 pitches, 8 strikes this afternoon. Curious to see if Clouse is moved up at some point (not that he's a control wizard either).

 

[msstate7]

Pache 2-5, 2 2b

 

[CJ9]

I know they probably don’t view Jared James as a serious prospect, but I have no idea why they sent him to Florida this year after doing well at Mississippi last year. He is destroying the league right now.

 

[Tapate50]

really disappointed in some of our farm progress of these guys are still at the same stops in 2019 Rico

I was thinking the same thing. They probably shuffle him up if there's a chain reaction when Acuna is recalled.

WP: Zimmerman (2-1) 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K

Zimmerman needs to be moved up. Rome isn't challenging him.

Zimmerman needs to be moved up. Rome isn't challenging him.

Except the game where he gave up 9 runs in 4 innings. Otherwise you are right.

 

[Jaw]

Wasn't he working on something specific in that game? Thought I read that somewhere, and that batters identified it and were teeing off.

I am a prospect hound and I don’t even know who he is. Maybe I am losing it in my olden ages.

He’s not high up on our lists. I barely recognize him too and I’ve been reading all of these Minor League reports as well as listening to podcasts on our minors.

No reason you should know him, this is his first year in the system. 5th round pick in last draft.

He pitched the only game I've attended so far this year and the hitters looked lost. But hes a college kid in Rome, so he's supposed to be doing that. I'm intrigued.

 

[50PoundHead]

Zimmerman was a college senior who signed for well below slot so they could move money to other guys. Pitched well in Danville and should pitch well against younger competition in Low A.
