Author ArchiveArizona Fall League Rosters came out today and the Cardinals are sending 5 players so far with 3 more Cardinals to be announced (probably after the minor league playoffs). All the Cardinals are on the Surprise Rafters. Johnson City spoils a perfect night for the minor leagues, but there was a Tyrell Jenkins and Roberto De La Cruz sightings! Onwards and downwards on the screen! The S-Cards made some moves today, sending my talisman Arqiumedes Nieto and his bag of inventions back to Palm Beach giving the open rotation spot to Ryan Kulik. An old friend returns as Jose Martinez returns to active baseball for the first time in 2 years. He appeared for the GCL Cardinals on August 22nd and tonight and so far has gone 2-7. Welcome back Jose! Batavia had the ol’ doubleheader rained out. Let’s play 3 tomorrow? Batavia Muckdogs are 1 game up in the wild card chase in the NY-Penn League after their victory on Sunday night, but they were rained out tonight. Put a doubleheader on the sched manana. We love to see postseason minor league baseball to see how the kids react under pressure as it were. So, hopefully Batavia can make it happen. Hello neighbors, it’s a beautiful day for a DFR. Won’t you join me? Only two games tonight and they weren’t good ones. The rain and the All-star games are easy on a DFRer. BJ Rains of Fox Sports Midwest reported that our favorite non-US visa’ed future redbird Carlos Matias has been shut down for the year due to innings, not injury. However, Luhnow also says they are confident he will be in the states “in the near future.” Also, in other Twitter news, Twitter’s favorite future redbird CJ Beatty got promoted to Palm Beach. Come leap with me into the DFR! It’s signing day, hit the other posts for that intel, but congrats to new Future Redbirds Zach Cox and Matt Swagerty. In other news: Tommy Pham has hit the DL. Pham had a red hot preseason and began to finally hit the ball better in Springfield after being promoted from Palm Beach. He OPS’ed .966 in Springfield but that was supported by a .422 BABIP. I would love to see Pham come back strong for the last week of the season, but so far this season has been a excellent step forward. Trey Hearne and his 6.72 FIP in Springfield this year have been moved to the bullpen. Scott McGregor takes his place in the rotation. As Jon predicted in our comment section for last night’s DFR, Steve Hill has been called up to the big club as Jeff Suppan has been placed on the DL. Kyle Lohse’s start in Reno last night probably made Suppan’s DL trip possible. Would love to see Hill get an AB during his cup of coffee, but he is probably up as Yadi insurance. Discuss. This DFR brought to you while working on my Cueto kicks on the back of my couch… Kyle Lohse will be making his next rehab start somewhere on Tuesday with some minor league team that is working at home, but Springfield is off and Memphis is in Reno again tomorrow. The next highest level is Palm Beach which is home against Bradenton tomorrow. My best guess for where we will “see” Kyle Lohse tomorrow will be in Palm Beach. I guess you will have to tune in to the DFR tomorrow to find out! UPDATE: Lohse is travelling to Reno to pitch for Memphis. So much for that theory. The Memphis game gets a (late) tag you used to see in those old-timey things called newspapers and I’ll update it in the morning. is updated. UPDATE: Also, Tyrell Jenkins will report to Johnson City late this week or early next week as he will be signed at Busch Stadium on Friday. DFR, ho! Batavia was rained out today and Springfield was the only game tonight in a wild one. Since it’s a light day, let’s have a comment thread conversation. We all know who my “guy” is that I root for in the system over all others (Arquimedes Nieto). We all know DanUp’s from VEB, but who is yours? This is not a hipster contest, you don’t get points the more obscure the player is. Tell me who and why as we enter Wednesday, the most boring day in sports. Unless you like the ESPYs of course… On to the one game DFR after the jump! |
