My bad, I meant 17th tater of the season overall!

[mvp 78]

Really concerning that Kavadas now has a 4/1 k/bb ratio in High A. May have to be sent back to low A!

Casas has lost some valuable playing time.

[moonslav59]

Casas has lost some valuable playing time.

 

Yup.

 

I had Mayer ahead of Casas the day we drafted him.

 

Bello might have jumped him in my rankings, even if Casas did not get hurt.

 

[Larry Cook]

In Salem, Paulino with his 6th tater of the season.

 

Mata with 4 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 walk, 1 unearned run surrendered and 5 strike outs.

Paulino really jumped up in the rankings.

 

Every time I have seen him, he has never gotten a hit or done anything noteworthy.
