Honorable mention to Dwight Smith Jr

He played 2B a bit last year with the majority of games at SS. So far this year he's mainly been 3b. Maybe they don't like his range enough for a middle IF position. Pure speculation on my part though. I know they just moved Shane Opitz up to Dunedin from Lansing and he would probably be who they want to get the most reps at SS. 2B is covered by Berti at the moment, I think he's playing 3B just because they need him to at Dunedin.

Yeah. I cringed in his second AB. 5 pitches, only 1 of which was in the strike zone, the 4 others were at least a foot off the plate outside and down and he was there hacking at them.

Yeah I just responded to you in another thread. You probably won't see any promos until after the all star breaks in each respective level.

Wait for the all star break in each level, then you'll start to see promotions. Whether or not Burns and Pillar are among them i'm not sure but that's when you'd likely see it happen. Pillar wouldn't be bumping anyone worth keeping around anyways, I think the 3rd OF in Buffalo is Langerhans.

Slumps happen. But it doesn't bode well.

Nice to see you back Brando

Come on dude. Give up the trolling and stick to legit conversation

123 wrc+ seems impressive until you see that it was his 5th year in pro and was demoted to short season ball. Kind of takes the shine off

I think it's time for melky to exit this game now. If he gets on base, Izturis could run for him, then Boni could go to LF and izzy to 2b.

There we go. Throw it at his ribs

Should wait for two outs and a base open before you do that. Ie, if Crawford goes out and queeroz is still at 2nd, I'd drill pagan first pitch

I'd much rather see Bonifacio in LF, that's how s***** Lind is in the field

Ortiz should plunk Pagan next time up

Balbino was a 3b and was supposed to have massive potential with the bat, but he never panned out. Has big raw power but couldn't put anything together consistently. I think this is his is his 4th time at Lansing. I saw him last year in Vancouver and physically he's very impressive, but the baseball skills just elude him

I think melky should be DH'ing at this point and Boni in LF. But as for tonight taking him out? Wait till the end of the 5th

I'll agree to hitters stopping showboating when pitchers stop fist pumping or shooting arrows into the sky after getting a guy out anytime after the 5th inning

Stroman back on the 19th with New Hampshire and will be in the rotation as a starter

My favourite part of this game was the complete "wtf were you doing?" Look that gibbons had after maicer was thrown out stealing 3rd.

As Davidi explained on the jays broadcast tonight Norris is struggling to maintain consistent delivery mechanics, especially his release point. It really explains his wildness. He can't really learn how to pitch until he gets those mechanics down

On the DL with New Hampshire
