Tom Koehler had a solid start. 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO, 6 GO/7FO.

If Vazquez and Volstad keep struggling and not going deep into games, He is most likely the 1st option called up to replaced them.

Also Koehler apparently won a dance contest at the Hornets game

[trahernsfriend]

Koehler is nails right now! Totally agree he is first called up

[Bucklin12]

Those were pretty legit moves, actually.

[MiamiHomer]

I like him a lot more now.

Hoping to hear on how Hatchers stuff is looking like.

[geemoney]

Here is a story on Hatcher from April 7th. It's more about the switch to pitcher, but does have some quotes from the Suns' pitching coach about his stuff:

[The_Godfather]

Anyone know whatever happened to Bryan Berglund? Still injured I presume?

[Miamarlin21]

I'd assume so. He had labrum surgery last year. I guess he's still recovering?

[Bucklin12]

Canha is playing in Gboro today. Homered in his 2nd AB.
--------------------
Zach Neal also pitching well in Gboro today. Sitting low 90s - just struck out the side.
