RHP Brogdon
LHP Warren
RHP Russ
OF Listi
2B Mims
SS Maton
3B Scheiner

All added to Williamsport Roster today. RHP Miller, SS Guzman, 1B Encarnacion, 2B Henriquez all sent to GCL from Williamsport.

Mims, Scheiner and Listi in today's lineup

Not a surprise with those GCL moves and it is not like we have too many HS signings that will fill out that roster. Was hoping a little bit that Guzman could stick (with the HR yesterday also) but our 6th and 7th round picks (Guthrie and Maton) will need to play in the middle infield.

NIck Williams with 4 BB in last 25 ABs.

Don't look at the boxscores, just pretend today never happened...

For whatever reason, today was the day Kingery got bumped to LV. Hooray!

allentown 2017-06-26 02:50:16 UTC #6

Fairly stunning to have Encarnacion back in GCL for another year.

With Kingery at AAA, we really are getting dangerously close to the AAA team being better than the MLB team. 7 game series to see who finishes out the ML season, just forfiet the next 7 ML games to decide it. Is this really a bad idea?

phillychuck 2017-06-26 03:16:28 UTC #8

Counting Perkins as with LV...

C--Rupp/Alfaro. call it a push
1B--Joseph/Hoskins. slight edge to Joseph
2B--Kendrick/Kingery. edge to Kendrick, future to Kingery
SS--Galvis/Crawford. edge to Galvis based on power and Crawford's low BA
3B--Franco/Gomez. Franco
LF--Kelly/Williams. edge to Williams
CF--Herrera/Perkins. Herrera
RF--Altherr/Cozens. Edge to Altherr
DH--Nava/Pullin. Edge to Pullin?

It is pretty close. Pitching obviously goes to the big club or else the pitcher would be up already...

I think 1B and SS are actually pretty close, almost pushes. While Crawford's BA is low, he does still have a .310 OBP, Galvis has more power. 1B is just an embarrassment of riches at the moment (it is nice to have one). The pitching staff is well, interesting because of course some of the guys that could use more time in AAA are in the majors due to injury.

It is closer than most (any) team and I don't think the Major League team would sweep the AAA squad. I also think it is very possible we would give the Manager position (as meaningless as that may be) to AAA.

If you take that statement to the next logical thought (our ML pitching staff is so weak that anyone who is ready is welcome, there is no one blocking them) it gets much closer.
