What's up with Vizcaino?

What's up with Vizcaino?

 

I thought someone said he was having visa issues, but I may be mistaken on that.

I don't know if we've gotten confirmation, but for anyone mysteriously missing who's on a 40 man that's the safest assumption.

 

I'm curious at what point we enter Kilian watch. We're certainly not there yet, he's not even fully stretched out. Plus there's all of the machinations that are going to hit in ~2 weeks when the injured guys are back in the fold and rosters contract. That said, once we hit mid May if he's still shoving there's pretty much no reason not to bring him up? Is it 100% dependent on how Steele is doing at that point?

Unless Miley or Alzolay have a setback, my guess is there needs to be an injury, a non-Hendricks/Stroman starter needs to be completely unplayable, or Kilian needs to go supernova. Him pitching pretty well and Steele being below average doesn't feel worth bringing him up for a couple weeks if e.g. Alzolay is rehabbing and about to take those starts.

All but two of the balls in play against Kilian were on the ground. One of those was a pop-up to 1B

[CubinNY]

The bats are heating up. Nelson is hot. When I saw him last week he looked awful every AB.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Herz now at 11 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 14/2 K/BB, 0 HR for the season, that'll do

 

edit - his combined High-A line: 27 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 40/8 BB, 1 HR

Cristian Hernandez belted a two-run inside-the-park HR and walked twice, Andrelton Simmons doubled, singled, and scored two runs, Moises Ballesteros singled, doubled, and drove-in a run with a SF, Cole Roederer walked in all three of his plate appearances and scored two runs

Cole Roederer sighting, that's fun! Hopefully he's not that far off, he really needs to get back on the field.

He’s playing center too, which is a nice development because I thought he’d have to DH at least half the year.
