Berrios managed to limit it to 1K per inning. He's headed in the right direction.

Seeing Kepler quoted prompted me to check his stats. The lad seems to be struggling with high A ball. Is this just the adjustment period or is he an aspiring BJ Garbe?

He'd have to have been drafted #1 to be in Garbe's comparison.

Kepler has talent, still a work in progress.

Technically yes, he should be a #1 pick, but he did sign with a fair amount of hoopla and got the highest bonus ever paid to a Euro player. I've heard the kid has tremendous bat speed and is an all around athlete. A lot of players do struggle with the adjustment to high A. There is a much higher percentage of legit pitching prospects and more pitcher friendly parks.

I'm going to the Ft. Myers game Friday, E-Town Thursday. As of now, I'm slated to see Berrios on Friday I believe. I've just missed him 4 times in the last 2 years. Huge!

I still have some faith in Kepler. He just turned 21 a few months ago. And the talent is there.

I like Harrison as well. Always been super high on Polanco, so good to see him having some success too. Gotta keep working on the D...

You'll get to see Walker too.

And Gordon

And Max Murph.

Sweet.

Love the D quote...of course he does, Gardy.

That was tongue in cheek.

Ya, saw most of that crew at Cedar Rapids last year (sans Berrios). Excited. Really looking forward to seeing Gordon on Thursday as well.

Yep, according to baseball-reference.com, Kepler is -1.7 years vs the average age for the league. Still plenty of time for him at this point.

Improving as he goes up the ladder.

Jose Berrios reaches 100 strikeouts in 85 innings, 15 starts, with the Miracle. Had 100 in 103.2 innings in 19 starts with Cedar Rapids

Did he make the AS team from FM? If so, he might get his promotion after that game. They like the players to experience those events

Just shocking. Polanco gets demoted, is right back in FTM lineup Monday night.

Florimon is demoted, still not in the lineup for the Wings. How can that be???

Really kept his slump from MN going, until about 3 weeks ago. Now has his average up to .271 with 5 dingers.

They're having BP in ROch today, 9-1 Wings, Randy Wolf gettingknocked around in relief. Playing the O's AAA team.

It is weird that Wilkin hasn't gotten a shot yet. I'd play him in CF before Parmelee any day of the week. I guess he'll probably be next.

He's not on the 40-man, and TR is scared s**tless to expose anyone to waivers.
