I normally save transactions and promotions for the DFR’s, but as a founding member of the Nico Bandwagon, I wanted to break in with a quick update: With Wallace now up to AA, it appears that the River Bandits made a corresponding move. On their roster it shows that Nico Vasquez will now be fighting crime in the mean streets of Davenport, IA. He and teammate 1B Curt Smith were called up to the Quad Cities, along with Osvaldo Morales.
Yunier Castillo and Ryde Rodriguez were moved up from the GCL team to Johnson City. Derrick Goold said Castillo is “one to watch”, as scouts and coaches were raving about him during our esteemed beat writer’s last trip to Jupiter.

who called the Curt Smith callup? oh wait, that’s right, I did
Go Cards!
wow, it will only be a short time, but you don’t see many high school draft picks playing in the midwest league in their first summer.
Possibly too soon alert:
An emergency weather alert was set off in Iowa tonight by the local news agencies. They heard rumblings of a powerful force rolling across the great plains. The force? Nico Vasquez. Head for higher ground.
This is great news about Nico Vasquez. With him in town I have immediately cancelled my ADT Alarm system and I’m no longer worried about the crime here in the QC because I know that Nico will take care of my children and fight the criminals
Johnson City just lost its favorite son
Great to here for Vaquez. Would love to here more about Yunier Castillo though.
I wonder how much the home improvements raised the value of his condo in JC. Signing bonus + that would equal a pretty nice payday for Nico this summer.
