I know he's not pitching today.  But with the promotion for Schlafer, and the recent hot streak he had at South Bend, does anybody have any recent scouting info on how he's doing it?  And whether he has the arm/stuff to actually be a big-league prospect?  Just curious.

92-94 FB, curve and slider. Curve is the best pitch. Probably back-end big league starter at best?

I like this thing where Alcantara decided to just stop striking out

Still the best Homewood-Flossmoor pitcher of all time.

We know the team likes to have guys work themselves into and successfully out of a slump before promoting them.  If this marks the start of a new heater from Long, I wonder if we don't finally see him up in the big leagues soon.  We are after all another month into Turner not producing.
