Maybe? I wouldn't promote Eyanson until June though. No reason to rush him along. Tolle was in GRE until the end of June last year. 

Agree on Eyanson. Is there someone else ready for a promo?

Sprague is 23, but was in FCL, last season.

It's still April. I think it's ok if you let guys succeed for a few weeks. You don't need to keep pushing everyone up ASAP. With how the weather is in POR, I'd keep the young guys in GRE until mid/late May no matter what.

I was just wondering who take's Sandoval's slot, and then who takes that guy's slot...

Also, if we cut Watson loose, that's another rolling group of promos.

Coffey was a starter for most of his career. They could just move him into the rotation. He doesn't seem like a bullpen guy to me anyway. 

Maybe they have Bastardo start? 

Depending on the news about Gray, maybe they sign Giolito?

Arias is still blowing everyone away in OPS (1.397) in 35 PAs.

Cheng, Delay & Gasper remain over 1.000.

Tucker & Opata are over 1.000 for Salem, while Mason White leads GRE with a .918 OPS.

Is YRod finally showing the promise was not a lie? (.834 for GRE)

As we expected, the farm pitching has been the thing to watch.

For WOO, Bennet (0.55 & .337 OPS Against) and Tolle (3.00/.619) have led the way.

For POR, Holobetz (1.12/.397 w 23Ks in 16 IP) has gotten attention. Eduardo Rivera continues to get the job done at 0.90/.425.

GRE was the rotation to watch, but they've kinda been shown up by Salem, POR and Woo. Eyanson has stood alone (0.73/.338.) Valera is hurt, but he started strongly at 1.93/.441 w 17 Ks in 11.1 IP.

SAL saw Futrell (0.00/.191) promoted to GRE, but Dylan Brown has shown brightly, too (3.75/.578.) Ethan Walker has surprised a few (1.69/.504)

The FCL season begins May 5th. DSL begins in June.

Some thoughtful ideas.
