Okay outing for Wicks in game 1, followed by a really good outing from Clarke, his fourth really good one in a row. Bain started game 2 with four good innings, his second good start in a row after a fairly horsefeathers April.

 

Feels like Clarke might be the first one to get promoted, which would have been a mild surprise coming into the year. Especially I think he's the only one who's completed 5 in an outing thus far. I am curious when guys will start being asked to do 5-6-7 on a regular basis. Until they do, there's a bit of a "yeah but" to the great outings being piled up in SB.

They really need to bump him up.

Yep, swap him and Caissie. Throw Beesley in LF lower in the order at sB!

Agreed. They’ve given Caissie enough time, they really need to get him to MB too.

 

Cole Roederer is likely bumping up this week too and can also play LF.

Ed Howard has gotten his numbers up to respectability after another good day yesterday. If he plateaus at respectable it isn't really enough after last year. But it's only early May, so hopefully he's putting up straight up good production a month from now.

 

He'll be an interesting promotion decision this summer if he keeps improving. I think given how tough last year was and how much time he lost with the pandemic, I'd probably let him just kick some ass at SB for a few months short of him going all PCA on the league.

I'm all for giving him a sustained period of time of success before even considering a promotion.
