Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-8-13

Zach Rosscup pitched 3 scoreless innings with 3 K. I could be wrong, but isn't he usually a 1 inning guy? Kind of interesting.

 

Nope, he's been pitching multiple innings all season.

Nice to see Alcantara go 2-5 with a 2B and 2 BB in the 14 inning marathon. He's been struggling mightily.

4/4 game for Penalver. Penalver is sporting a .381/.422/.524/.946 line. Underwood and Lang both threw 3 scoreless.

Torreyes contact rate is 94.7%. He's swung and missed 5 times this season.

Brett had an article about Alcantara moving to 2b and speculated what that could mean for Torreyes. Could Torreyes move to AAA? If so that would be insane considering his age.

No, Torreyes has less than a month at AA - why rush him? Also, there's no urgency with moving Alcantara to 2B (plus it would limit his trade value). Who is going to play SS at Tennessee?
