DeSclafini! Huzzah!

[dim]

Descalfini has 6+ innings and allowed 1 or less runs in three of his last four starts. He's been up and down since getting called up to AA, but he's starting to settle down. ERA is now 3.65 in AA.

Austin Barnes seems to be adjusting to AA nicely. Nice start. If all goes well he'll be in the majors in 2015.

Every time I look at Moran's games it feels like he either has a few RBI's or walks.

Brent Keys won't stop hitting. Wonder what more he has to do to earn a call up to AA.

[HUGG]

Keys has seen his LD% jump from 9.4 in 2011 to 14.4 in 2012 to 18.7 in 2013. This while his K rate has dropped from 13.1 to 7.1 to 5.6. Walk rate from 6.9 to 8.1 to 10.2.

If he can maintain those levels or near them in those 3 categories, I don't see how he doesn't make the majors eventually. However his complete lack of power (.052 iso) means he's a bench player.

He's a little old for Jupiter though and AA is when guys like him tend to fall apart, so I'm not gonna get too excited about him until he gets there and does something.

[Todd]

If Barnes can keep hitting I hope it doesn't take until 2015. especially with the complete lack of offensive talent on the major league team at the two positions he plays

[Miamarlin21]

Some pitcher in the Marlins organization was hit in the head on a comebacker. He was sent to the hospital.
