Minor league assignments as we get them

[Guest]

I could swear I saw a Tweet in the last 15 minutes or so that Vizcaino was going to Tenn

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

He should go wherever he can best get his work in. Sort of like a rehab assignment.

[Guest]

That's a tentative, not official roster for Daytona.

 

Rosters don't need to be official till Wednedsday. Though there aren't too many changes from the tentative ones normally, and the changes that do come aren't to big prospects (unless someone wants to go Pawelek and try some dumb diving stunts into a pool and break their arm).

Considering PJ started off in KC, I'm pleasantly surprised Zastryzny begins in Daytona.

[Guest]

No word on Tseng yet or did I miss it?

Wells and skulina not on that tentative roster. Skulina down to Kane not that surprising, although it further clutters their rotation.

 

I'd had it in my head that Wells would repeat Daytona. If he's actually at Tennessee, that's interesting, hopefully it means he's had a sharp camp?

 

Vizcaino no surprise, weather is best at Daytona for a rehab guy.

Wells could be with Tennessee because PJ is going to miss a start or two, I guess.

Pretty disappointing to see Zach Cates return to Daytona.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yeah, I didn't understand that either. Who is the other guy in the Tenn rotation after Edwards, Johnson, Black, and Pineyro? Loosen?

[craig]

I assume Ben Wells and probably Matt Loosen.

Soler will start the season on Tennessee's 7-day DL. Bryant left today's minor league game after being hit by a pitch in the foot. CJ Edwards also actually had bad control today: 4.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 5 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 GIDP, 4/4 GO/FO, 63 pitches (33 strikes).

If they all get healthy and stay at AA for most of the year, the Bryant, Gieger, Soler middle of the order has a chance to hit 60+ HRs between them.

Marcus Hatley tweeted he's headed to Iowa.

[Guest]

@MDGonzales Theo Epstein says Vizcaino staring at Class-A Daytona to take advantage of warm weather

[Guest]

@MDGonzales: Bryant, Soler at Double-A Tennessee. Soler brought along slowly due to hamstring

[Guest]

Ben Carhart to Kane County.

[craig]

Thanks for the updates. REally fun to see the rosters settling in.

 

My understanding is that Carhart is now a catcher. I'm kind of surprised he's jumping straight to Kane, usually the converts spend a year in XST. Maybe that means he's a back-of-bench utility guy.

[Guest]

@jnorris427: That's CJ Edwards, Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler, Corey Black all on the Tennessee Smokies roster.
