FARNWORTHLESS, AM I RIGHT TJ!?

[Mainge]

The Twine Ride is over

[dim]

So today was awful for Nicolino/Williams. Hate to see that since they are two of minor league pitchers left who have any real major league potential within the next few years.

Good to see a multi hit game from Davis again. He'd been on a bit of a cold streak after starting the season close to where he left off in Batavia.

Wittgren still pretty good this year. Only one bad outing so far.

Vinny Rottino is old.

Yep those 18th Rd Draft Picks should be in the majors by now.

KJ Woods is hitting pretty well. Surprised to see he hasn't hit a home run yet in his 40+ AB's given that he has a good power stroke, but this is his first real season so it should come in time.

Jose Urena seems to have this AAA thing figured out so far. 2 ER allowed in 23 1/3 IP. It's gonna be interesting come mid June if he continues to pitch like this where the team fits him in on the main roster. I'd have to think he'll end up in a long relief role for the rest of this season (similar role to what he did when he came up earlier this year) and be given a chance to win a rotation spot out of Spring Training 2016. Can't help but love guys who strike out hitters and don't walk many. Also find it incredibly weird that he's issued exactly 29 walks in each of his last 4 seasons.

Woods is actually hitting very nice for someone who was suppose to be all power. U would like to see big numbers from him especially in Gboro but gotta think the FO is happy as of now. I would rather have a guy hit over .300 with some power then at .200 and all power

As for Urena don't be suprised if he finds his way into the BP next year,yes he can start but he could be a very good power arm for many years as well. Plus not alot of room in the rotation-Fernandez,Alvarez,Cosart,Phelps or Koehler and Nicolino(Plus probably Latos if we tender him)

Phelps is already arbitration eligible and Koehler will be next season. Neither of them are anything special, so there will be a spot for Urena, potentially after this season.

mf24 already got part of it. But all 7 starters (you forgot Haren) in the rotation currently are huge ifs. Alvarez and Fernandez have the injury flag. Latos and Haren are most likely gone via FA. Cosart, Phelps and Koehler have not shown enough to be guaranteed the rotation spot next season let alone come July this season. As mf24 said Phelps and Koehler are in arbitration. But so is Alvarez and Crow (can/will we non-tender him?). I also believe Fernandez (DL time counts right?) and Hand (not looking up service time for the past 4 years but it's probably enough for super 2) are going to arbitration. Cosart is the only one that might not be arbitration eligible that could be penciled in the rotation. And when I look at all of those names, I'd only want to be paying 4 of them (Jose, Alvarez, Phelps and Cosart if you're wondering) cause the group just isn't that good. And this is coming from someone who is a big Koehler and Hand supporter, depending on their performance the rest of the year I wouldn't non-tender them but I don't exactly want them on the roster.

Nice Start again by Flores, good to see Twine keep it going.

[HUGG]

I liked everything I read about Flores when we made that trade and I'm even more intrigued by him now.

[marlinsfan24]

Ugh, I still had some hope for Conley coming into the season, but the first month+ of his 2015 season has been discouraging.

[Jay]

Why are you excited about Flores?
Conley's line looks pretty bad right now.
Brice looks interesting to me right now. His walk rate has been dropping throughout his career and his k rate is back up. His line doesn't look pretty but it's been the result of some bad luck.
