4/19 - 4/26: Minor League Game Thread

[geemoney]

Brett Sinkbeil signed with the Pirates this past week.

[Fish and Chips]

Ozuna has 6 HRs in the past 6 games.

[Bucklin12]

Sort of a rarity to have two Marlins spects make the BA Hot Sheet. But alas, Koehler and Ozuna can be found there: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...1/2611613.html

Holy moly Hopper had a bad night.

[Ramp]

would be very cool if Smolinski got really cool

[Todd]

Is he playing 2B?

[trahernsfriend]

Everyone has a bad night in Albuquerque. That is a launching pad.

Dallas gave up 5 in 5 today. Koehler goes tomorrow. I cant wait to watch and see how he does. He is obvious the hottest pitcher right now.

[geemoney]

Is he playing 2B?

I think he's been playing mostly LF, at least lately.
