Incredibly in depth breakdown of who could break with Boise next month: http://www.thecubreporter.com/comment/221697#comment-221697

 

The really intriguing guys who have a good chance at Boise include Erick Leal and Trevor Clifton in the rotation plus C Mark Malave, CF/RF Jeffrey Baez, 1B Rony Alcala and SS Gleyber Torres. Sounds like there's a possibility Ryan McNeil (who threw his first in a game for the first time yesterday) or Jose Paulino make the Boise rotaton too.

 

Sounds like Jefferson Mejia is definitely staying in Arizona and it's disappointing that Scott Frazier apparently can't throw a strike.

Scheduled Games (All Times Central)

..Probable Starters...Kane County: RHP Justin Amlung (29 IP, 2.17 ERA, 4.06 FIP, 23 K, 6 BB)

 

Amlung's only previous start, I think, was when Paniagua was home in DR, right?

 

Is he replacing Paniagua in the rotation, do you think? Or Tseng? Or Tseng hasn't pitched in 10 days. He was on a 6-day schedule, right?

Tseng was supposed to start on the 16th, I believe. I am really hoping that it is just an early effort by the organization to keep his innings in check this season, but the Cub fan in me is thinking that he probably suffered a serious injury in a freak pogo stick accident.

Joe Pietrzyk ‏@JoePietrzyk 6m

@CubsDen Albert to Tim to Wilson ... Guns down another runner at home! Albert with 2 sharp singles is having a game!

 

I'm confused right now.

 

Is this guy in the future/past or is the game time wrong?

[Guest]

Sahadev Sharma ‏@sahadevsharma 1m

Almora with another multi-hit game, 2-for-4, and is now up to .281 on the season. Nice to see him getting hot.

Daytona is playing now so the time I posted is definitely wrong.

So is Almora just Jackie Bradley minus the walks?

Interview with Smokies manager Buddy Bailey in link: http://smokiesonradio.com/2014/05/18/sunday-conversation-with-buddy-bailey/

 

Soler has missed the last two games, and is currently back in Chicago undergoing tests. According to Manager Buddy Bailey, Soler should return to his team when the Smokies return to Smokies Park later this week. Through seven games this season, Soler is 8-for-24 with seven doubles and a 1.032 OPS.

 

Bailey sat down with the voice of the Smokies, Mick Gillispie, on Sunday to talk about the recent injuries suffered by his players and when they might return. His updates included a timetable for right-hander C.J. Edwards and the most recent information regarding reliever Hunter Cervenka.

 

Soler hasn't been placed on the DL. Bailey expects Edwards to start throwing in about a week down in Arizona.

Regarding Soler, hamstring injuries can linger for a long ass time, and often reoccur.

[Guest]

@sahadevsharma Kane County Cougars place Jen-Ho Tseng on the DL with an 'upper extremity injury'.
