Since when are we stretching Walden out and envisioning him as a starter. For crying out loud we got enough effective starters, we need help in the ballpen.
 
You can basically pencil in Peraza for either an xbh, or multiple hits and a SB every time out.
 
Should I be more excited about Hursh getting guys out or concerned about his lack of strikeouts? I'm not sure.
 
He's having a tremendous season. Might be a Top 50 prospect when the mid-season editions come out.

He has to be. A guy with that much speed and solid OBP skills with a little projectable power is a valueable commodity. Oh yeah, he plays MIF. YAY!
 
rico, did you ever get a report on Williams Perez' status? You mentioned he was pulled after one batter the other night.
 
No need to rush him. Maybe a late season promotion to AA but TLS has settled down 2B for now. They might need to start letting him play 3B some as well.
 
Should I be more excited about Hursh getting guys out or concerned about his lack of strikeouts? I'm not sure.

I'd be curious to know if he was more of a strike out guy prior to the injury and changed his approach post injury? TJS is pretty much related to throwing too much and throwing with fatigue. If he was a strike out guy hitting the upper 90s prior to the injury but is now a low to mid 90s guy who throws that pitch with some sink to induce ground balls, then I would say it is an adjustment that will keep his arm healthy.
 
Peraza with his first homerun on the year! Parsons also looks like a keeper. Maybe even a guy that can compete for a spot late in 2015.
 
Rico, I know it is not said enough but thank you for the hard work you put in to these reports. They are awesome.
