Still so bummed about JJax. What a waste. I know there's a bit of a logjam in regards to the rotation but still. Bleh

I'm gonna be at the Memphis Redbirds game tonight as part of a bachelor party. Took a quick look at the rosters and there are some flashes in the way back machine (Rich Hill, Sean Gallagher, Radhames Liz, Ruben Gotay, Eric Munson, etc...), but there doesn't appear to be much in the way of real prospects from either the redbirds or the portland beavers, save for maybe Aaron Cunningham.

Cards fans are relatively high on Descalso, FWIW.

My Internet is down so no stats from my Blackberry and I can't check Daytona's starters:

 

Iowa: Casey Coleman

Tenn: Austin Bibens-Dirkx

Daytona: Chris Rusin

Peoria: Ryan Searle

 

Also, Marcos Mateo to the Tennessee DL and Jeremy Papelbon was activated.

[davell]

Rusin pitched 4.2 innings of perfect ball tonight, but Cabrera struggled pretty badly in his Tennessee debut, giving up 10 hits and 5 runs in 5.2 innings, with 3 walks and 3 K's.

[toonsterwu]

Maybe the injury was a factor for Rusin early on ...

Rusin's last 4 outings: 13.2 IP, 10 H, 3 ER, 11/0 K/BB, 1 HR

To be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if Jax is called up before tomorrows game. Caridads has good stuff but awful control, and his inning today was the kind that causes Lou to send the guy away never to be heard from again. Just ask Rich Hill. Im all for it at this point. I just hope that if it doesnt work out for Jax up here they have the sense to send him back to Iowas rotation and not Lous stupid doghouse.

On Yohan Gonzalez and Charles Thomas being promoted from extended spring training to Peoria:

 

In seven EXST games (all in relief) over the past month, Gonzalez had a 0.82 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and .200 OBA in 11.0 IP, allowing just one run on eight hits, with 2 BB and 14 K, 1 GIDP, and a 9/10 GO/FO. The 20-year old 6’4 200 Gonzalez pitched at Boise in 2009, going 3-3 with a 4.21 ERA, allowing 44 hits (3 HR), and 7/31 BB/K in 23 games and 47 IP (all in relief) for the Hawks.

 

The Cubs 2009 10th round draft pick out of Edward Waters College, the 21-year old 6-4 225 Thomas hit 303/367/348 with three doubles, 5/8 BB/K, 13 runs scored, eight RBI, and four SB in 19 EXST games and 68 PA. Thomas has a cannon for an arm, and could eventually move to the mound if things don’t work out as a position player. He led the AZL Cubs (Mesa) in hits, doubles, and RBI in 2009. He can play both 1B and 3B, but his arm is wasted at 1B. For a big guy, Thomas has shown virtually no HR power so far in his career.

 

Box scores for the doubleheader in the link. Marcos Perez gave up his first runs of the EXST season while Yao-Lin Wang continues to do very well (4 perfect innings with 5 K). I wonder if Yao-Lin is ticketed for Boise this summer.

barney should be on next year's team as a backup middle infielder
