Wouldn't you know it? It started raining before the Lookouts game was over. So much for sunny and glorious. Sigh.

I've quit keeping up with A+ and A altogether. Do we have some good prospects at the lower levels?

There's a few, but the international signing restrictions and the aggressive promotion approach taken by the player development staff have created fairly thin ranks. I'm watching Contreras and Jensita in Florida. I had hopes for Isranel Wilson, but he's really struggled so far this season. No real hitting prospects in Rome, but there are a couple of pitchers that may warrant interest at some point, particularly Vodnik and Riley.
 
Good start for Muller tonight. Saw this on Twitter:

Muller has a 0.89 ERA now in his first 3 starts in May. Just 2 runs in 20.2 innings, 16 K's and 7 BB's.
 
If I heard correctly, tonight marks the third organizational sweep of the season for the Braves.
 
Mentioned a while back that I wondered if they were going to be aggressive with Ynoa as a potential pen piece - being bumped to Gwinnett this quickly doesn't do much to assuage that curiosity.

Probably b/c of 40 man reasons. They need to make some decisions on him ASAP.
