Iowa will be facing Zack Wheeler today.

 

Also, you've really gotta figure Castillo moves up to AA sometime soon.

Is 27 innings enough to warrant a promotion? Admittedly, I don't know much about the guy.

He's got 60 total innings at A+ now, including last year in the Red Sox organization. He is 24 already and has over 500 pro innings, including 400 across the three A ball levels.

Any idea why the KC COugars site continues to list Trey Martin as "active" when he clearly hasn't played in a month. He can't be on their "active" roster?

And he missed all of 2011 to injury, which is probably why he's still in A+

Brett Jackson has 8 K in 47 PA (17%) and a .295 AVG in 11 G since returning from injury

Here's hoping the changes to his swing are actually having an impact.

I want to belieeeevveee.

BJax with a triple off Zack Wheeler in his first AB.

[weis21]

BJax's new swing being legit would sure be a nice (and unexpected) surprise for the Cubs system

How many walks in that stretch, though? Is he just swinging earlier?

Three. Lower than what he's done in the past, but not so much to make you suspicious when it's only been 47 PA.

[ctcf]

So of course Brett goes on to K twice and get pulled for a reliever.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I feel like I've been playing the "let's get excited about improvement in some arbitrary endpoint" with prospects for 15 years or so, starting with Corey Patterson. Does it ever end well? Maybe Samardzija.

[Guest]

Oh, apparently Austin Kirk is starting for Daytona.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Baez with an RBI double and Soler with a 2 RBI single in the first.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Who is more likely to sustain their first couple of months... Shoulders or Geiger?

[rawaction]

C. None if the above.

[davell]

Good question. I'll take the less popular of the two, in Geiger. He's younger than Rock, has a lesser K rate and is playing at the higher level.

Pfffffft.

[Guest]

Almora singles to right in his first AB.

[gscool89]

RBI double for Almora. \:D/
