Candelario and Paniagua promoted to Tennessee.

I'm still hoping Jeimer can be a thing, really haven't paid much attention to him this year but I was surprised to see he was only 21. As for Paniagua he's gotten his control, under control it appears but is/was 25 at A+ ball, guessing this is more of a sink or swim promotion for him.

Rosscup is also in Tennessee on rehab starting today.

Second straight game Happ is out of the lineup for Eugene. So it seems like he has been promoted..

Zagunis is finally warming back up these last couple of days, which is very nice to see.

 

Christian Villanueva is on an absolute tear right now.

Eloy hit HR #3 in the 9th tonight for Eugene.

Tseng's put on a decent row of solid starts. The whole added velocity thing impacted the command, but really, that's okay, as he's young and learning to adjust to it. More importantly, just doesn't seem to have the secondary stuff to really kick it up a notch. Will be curious how AA goes, as I assume he'll get there, if not this year, to start next year. A part of me does wonder, despite the command and 3 solid pitches, if he's the Joe Nathan type of back end starter that might be better off in the pen, where that velocity could play up a bit, and the deeper arsenal isn't as exposed.

 

Would've preferred Candelario staying in A+, in all honesty, but they probably felt he was ready for some reason (sure doesn't feel like a sink-or-swim move situation). I hate the fact that Chesny Young is sort of growing on me, as those are the types of guys that I typically do not let grow on me. Fascinated how he plays in AA. Jeffrey Baez is on a nice little tear lately. I keep thinking he's probably piled up a ton of strikeouts this year, but he hasn't. I sure like how Frandy delaRosa has performed. Wonder how fast he physically matures and can tap into his physical tools on offense.

 

A part of me sees McNutt pitching in Arizona and thinks ... has it been that long since there was an actual debate on McNutt vs. Archer. Boy time goes by.

I'm wondering if it could work against them. Being up for the Rule 5, wouldn't AA success make him more tempting of a pick?

Greyfer Eregua: 24.2 IP 5/32 BB/K 1.82 ERA 0.77 WHIP.

 

Anything to this one?
