Guessing the rotation is Cease, Moreno, Rondon and the two Millers.

 

No Hudson, Clark (I'm guessing extended for both since Arizona Phil mentioned Clark was staying down and Hudson is hurt), Paulino, de la Cruz or Hatch (Myrtle Beach for those three?).

Not much in the way of pitching there. Cease and Paredes on the same roster goes a long way in terms of making that roster compelling, though.

DJ Wilson too. He's been rated ahead of Paredes in nearly all (if not all) major national prospect lists.

If they were still in Kane County, Cease might be enough to get me to my first minor league game (it's funny that I'm even pretending that's true given some of the guys we had there before)....

I'm irrationally excited to see Mekkes in full season ball.

 

 

Myrtle Beach is out too.

I wonder what happened to Jose Paulino.

I wonder what happened to Jose Paulino.

 

According to MLBPIPELINE, he's on the SB DL.

Side note though, I'm definitely interested in how Moreno and Tyson Miller do in full season ball.

I don't know. I find the youth on the South Bend roster fairly compelling. Cease (21), DJ Wilson (20), and Paredes (18) lead the list for sure. But Erling Moreno (20), Wladimir Galindo (20), Jhonny Pereda (20), Yeiler Peguero (19) and Tyson Miller (21) are all intriguing to varying degrees. Having 2 top 10 prospects with a 3rd 15th-20th prospect with a handful of other guys who are decent and young for their level ain't bad.

Duncan Robinson will be in that rotation for sure.

 

Wonder what's up with Clark and his health? He's fine, they've just been being super-cautious with him? Or there were some real and present injuries when camp opened, and that's why he didn't go through the camp work that normal pitchers did?

 

Same with Hudson, he was in the rehab group, but we've never gotten a hint what he's rehabbing from.

Ooph, that is one boring roster beyond Paredes, Wilson and Cease. I guess the plus on the pitching behind Cease is that there's plenty of size and health among the multiple 2016 draftees on the roster. I'm most interested in Mekkes and Rucker, maybe, but that group is a toss up.

 

College tested Kellogg or Hatch, happy to have options, should make quick work of MB. Both should do well st this stop however long they're there.

 

Apparently I'm the high one on Tyson Miller. I think there's a good amount of upside there.

Dillon Maples.....so you're saying there's still a chance?

Right you are on Robinson. Looks like Kyle Miller isn't in the KC rotation, the other 4 I guessed are.
