Zack Jones needs to move to AAA so he can make the jump to the bigs this year.

Watching the jokers in the bigs bullpen is already old and disgusting.

The shortstop the Astros took with the pick before Buxton, Carlos Correa is pretty good too. He missed 2nd half of last season as well, a broken leg for him.

The 20-year-old leads the Texas League in RBI, average (.400, 7th best in MILB), OPS (1.268) and slugging (.800, 2nd in MILB).

Also has 5 HRs (T-13th in MILB)

I really hate putting this out there but why are so many suspensions involve Latin players?

I understand they can get easier in their homeland but for Gods sake. They playing in the majors.

Twins Hope Clay Can Develop Fastball Command
April 30, 2015 by Phil Miller

MINNEAPOLIS—
Like a lot of 21-year-old pitchers in the low minors, lefthander Sam Clay needs to develop a pitch. Clay is a little unusual, though: He needs a fastball.

“His path is sort of backwards from most pitchers,” vice president of player personnel Mike Radcliff said. “He’s got a legitimate, major league curveball, a plus-plus strikeout pitch. What he doesn’t have, though, is command of a fastball. For most guys, it’s just the opposite, but he just never learned to throw it.”

That’s because Clay, a fourth-round pick in 2014 from Georgia Tech, was a quarterback in high school. “He was a football guy,” Radcliff said. “Then he discovered he can throw this pitch, and it’s taken him a long way.”

It got the Buford, Ga., native to Georgia Tech, where he eventually harnessed that curveball and became the Yellow Jackets’ closer, “just finishing games by striking out guys with hard hammers,” Radcliff said. “He can throw it 82-83 (mph), which not many guys can do, and he moves it around very well.”

After turning pro last summer, Clay immediately struck out 44 batters in just 29 innings at Rookie-level Elizabethton.

But while Clay can hit 92 mph, he doesn’t always know where his fastball going. He walked 17 batters at Elizabethton, hit four more, and threw 10 wild pitches. His ERA ballooned to 12.46 at one point, but he closed the season with 16 straight scoreless innings.

The Twins have tinkered with Clay’s mechanics in hopes of helping him throw strikes, and they are optimistic. In his 2015 debut at low Class A Cedar Rapids, though, he faced five batters, walked three, threw a wild pitch and gave up a two-run double.

“We know it’s going to take time,” Radcliff said, “but if he can throw strikes, he’s got a real future. His curve would already play in the big leagues. His objective, his challenge for the year is to control his fastball and get it into the mix.”

Hard not to like him, he's got some LRod, some Hocking, and some CoCo in him.

And Maestro, I almost forgot Maestro.
