4/30 - 5/6 Minor League Game Thread

[marlinsfan24]

Williams with a tough start.

[Jay]

Rojas did this last year in AAA through 51 games. Unfortunately he will never get a shot to prove himself unless Hech, Dee or Prado goes down with an injury. And even then it'll be questionable but we can guarantee he'll get the call ahead of Dietrich even if he starts batting .200.

[HUGG]

Well, I mean, I think Rojas' ceiling is a better defense version of Solano anyway.

KJ Woods on a 7 game hit streak.

Kendry Flores with back to back good starts.

Hey look Yelich on the return.

Justin Twine needs to do that more often.

[geemoney]

A couple of minor league signings over the past week, c/o Baseball America:

LHP Travis Blackley, who was released by the Giants on April 2nd. He's 32 years old and has experience starting and relieving. He has pitched in 82 games in the majors over parts of four seasons, registering a 5.23 ERA in that time.

C Jesus Flores, who was released by the Braves on April 3rd. He spent five years as a catch for the Nationals and hit .241 in that time with 23 HR and 127 RBI.

[HUGG]

Twine is on fire

[HUGG]

Misch hit the first 4 batters of the game last night

[fauowls44]

Maybe Flores can turn into something (4-5 starter or MLB bullpen arm). It would be cool to get something useful from that McGehee trade.

Rojas.

[dim]

I'll continue to say that Ben Holmes Wetzler whatever you want to call him was my favorite value pick in this past draft outside of Mason Davis. He was damn good at OK St and deserved to be drafted higher. He needs some room to grow and is already 23 years old but he's a guy I could see making the majors in 2017.

I don't know what else to say about Miguel Rojas. Given his defensive reputation and the fact that he's already 26 years old there's no question he should be in the majors right now over the Reid Brignac's and the Donovan Solano's of the world. This is literally the best he's ever hit in his career. He's hitting well, so call him up and make him the late game pinch hitter and even a freakin late game defensive replacement for Prado or even Morse given he has a little experience at 1B (very little though). Unfortunately for him we don't have any huge defensive liabilities at the positions he plays, so his value isn't as huge as it would be for a lot of teams right now. I just want to see him on the major league squad at the rate he's playing.

[Mainge]

What about Holmes excites you?
