What’s the word on Zach Russell? He has had pretty good stats the last couple of years, but I have never really heard much about him till this year. What kind of stuff does he have?

Its only 29 at bats, but Niko seems to be enjoying the Florida weather…He’s OPSing >1.200 and still showing a prettyg good eye with a 5:6 BB:K ratio…hopefully he has started to figure it out

@Vision: Yes. All indications are that it's just a matter of time. Some of this delay may be in the visa process as well.

@azruavatar: Does this mean you're more confident they'll get him approved than you initially were?

@themop10: John Vuch has said that they intend to get Matias stateside this year. Just waiting for the process to complete.

Matias won’t until he his certifed by MLB and he is officially a Cardinal. De La Cruz needs to start succeeding at GCL first before we move him, no need to rush him and destroy any confidence he has he’s still only 18.

How much time does Matthew North have left in the organization? Seems like ages ago they drafted him and he’s only advanced to Batavia.

What was the attraction? Is he a hard thrower? Or just a good guy who tries hard. He’s never really excelled at any level.

For some reason Ryan Kulik’s excellent game got me to think about Ben Jukich and then Mike Parisi. Jukich’s season is very mediocre. He is pitching mostly relief at AAA Louisville. Parisi is terrible at AAA Iowa. He must be injured in that he has pitched a very small number of games.

Does anyone know what Matias or Roberto de la Cruz will see time in the States? I am really intrigued by these guys but as all the experts on here say we need to see them versus better competition.
