Goold tweeted Gast to Memphis.

Very cool. I wonder if Gast might not find his way into the STL bullpen in September as the 2nd lefty.

Stolen from comment section at VEB

So far this year (SSS), Pete Kozma has a higher ISO (.123 to .077), higher wOBAr (.332 to .314), higher BB%, and lower K% than Ryan Jackson

Jackson also has a BABIP over .100 points higher than Kozma’s

Here is a nice scouting analysis by Baseball Instinct about Greg Garcia last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5IC9saVOAI

He is also versatile to can play 2B, SS, and can handle some OF positions. I could see him being a utility player in the future. His OBP is .423 he has drawn 27 walks and only struck out 23 times and a BABIP of .314.

I’ve seen him play at SS twice at Springfield this year. He is very fundamentally sound at SS but lacks the sort of premium athleticism needed to play a good shortstop or be much of a threat on the bases. Offensively he has some tools has very good pitch recognition will draw lot’s of walks has a nice Walk Rate. He still needs to add some power but if he does he will be a hit in the top of the order. Very interesting guy to watch.

I think you are right. Gast was schedule to pitch on Saturday, but now they show Hooker who had been on the DL all season. I found this on the Springfield site under game notes.

I’d like more scouting information on Greg Garcia. He’s had a breakout season with his eye, but I’d like to know if it’s backed up by a good hit tool. Also, how is his glove?

The 3 red-headed step-children of Memphis all had two doubles.
