Warner is a great manager – a lot of people do well while they’re at Springfield. Hopefully he can handle Kozma in a way that doesn’t hurt his confidence. AA is a big jump but it isn’t like he’s too young to be there. Maybe being promoted will be good for his confidence.

Kozma’s hitting performance has been very similar to what Jones did at Palm Beach last year – with the notable exception of home run power. But similar K%, BB%, LD% and Jones had no trouble with the transition.
If the coaching staff thinks he can handle the jump, then I don’t see anything in his performance that would contradict that. Unless he goes on a tear over the next week, I do think he’ll be back in Palm Beach for the first half of the season though.

Front office must have been reading the Porcello thread over at Cards Talk.

Next stop for Kozma: St. Louis!!!

I’m optimistic about Kozma heading to AA. Great opportunity for him.

Was at the game last night in DC. Tyler hit the ball pretty well overall. The last one was obviously the best outcome, but I was pretty impressed with the bat. Has some good speed too – stealing third and hustling down the line on a grounder early in the game. Only thing I can remember that kind of upset me was what looked like a lazy toss to Skip on a potential double play. Don’t think they would have turned it anyway, but it looked a little lazy.

Haven’t seen him play before, so maybe these are things you already know, but I liked what I saw last night

I think we should take a moment to comemmorate tyler’s first ml hit. Or “hit” if you prefer. Regardless it was a 2 run hit in what was at the time a close game.

And that’s what this is all about, right? Getting guys to the majors and watching them succeed? So hooray tyler!

What’s wrong with sugar shane?
