You're actually allowed to go 5% over slot on your pool without penalty.

FB command looked way better that inning. He's retired 9 in a row.

He was one of the first guys I thought of when I saw the subject of the article.

Yeah, I would say we are even after that. But strike 2 to Montero was a ball so he should have walked before ball 4.

Two on, none out. Oh, wait, Laz Diaz is a [expletive] who doesn't know how to call balls and strikes.

[expletive] strike 3 call.

The Rays signed one of the 2016 IFAs who were previously linked to the Red Sox.

His stuff is fine, the command is poor. That doesn't necessarily mean injury.

Maybe I was just posting the line I wanted him to have. Though 2 Ks isn't bad for him.

The Red Sox could only sign Bolivar and any other prospects for $300k this period so maybe the Cubs have a chance at both the free agents and this year's potential Red Sox signings.

A chance for the Cubs to get some big name Latin American IFAs despite their bonus restrictions:

Minor league umps, just like big league umps.

This is no good. Better now then after the Cubs acquired him.

The picture might have cut him off from the bottom.

Corresponding move: Dillon Maples demoted to South Bend.

I posted the blurb a few posts up. Nothing of meat in terms of names.

Sounds like Adam Warren will start one of the games for Iowa.

Bah. Bad Dylan Cease today.

There's really not a lot of 40 roster help in Iowa. We do have a spot open on the 40 but do you want to burn that on Black for (presumably) 1 game? Otherwise you are talking about Aaron Brooks, who has been starting and been bad, and Giovanni Soto who has been really bad Brooks started yesterday for Iowa and wouldn't be available (he's also technically on the big league team's DL).
