Not going to worry too much about a fluke injury, that stuff happens. Would be a lot more worried if he felt that pain just from throwing a pitch. That's what's scary.

It's been what? 7 weeks? Give the kid some time.

Which is still more valuable than a closer

Petricka started last night after being removed 4 days ago and got pounded.

Simon Castro at Birmingham: 8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K.
For the season: 4-2, 3.74; 65.0 IP, 65 H, 13 BB, 54 K, 2.54 BAA. Needs to work on some consistency.

Axlerod Minor League stats are great: 49.2 IP 1.01 WHIP, 52 K/10 BBs.

Glad we're starting to see a bit of depth built in the system.

Quietly, Jordan Danks is having a solid season. Current slash line .293/.407/.468 and will be higher tomorrow after going 2- 3 tonight with a walk.

WE sure could use a 4th outfielder.
But maybe he's turning into a player; if so, he should probably keep working in the minor leagues every day.

Singleton was a terrible hitter. I hope De Aza is well ahead of that pace.

What's the word on Josh Phegley?

It would be an incredible stroke of luck if Rios has a good year, and this offseason KW can flip him for a prospect, and Danks can step into RF next year and put up Rios-like numbers. One can dream, no?

I'm penciling in Mitchell for that job. He should be ready (if ever ready) at the end of 2013, just in time to take Rios' spot.

Yep, would rather have Mitchell in there. Looks like a solid two hitter with speed and some pop. I would love to have him in the line-up fully developed.

I would rather have BOTH of them pan out and force some tough roster decisions.

I hope Mitchell pans out. Power numbers and walks are up this year but the K% is still rather concerning. It was at an acceptable rate about a month ago, but it's back up to 27.3% at this point. He will always have some swing and miss to his game, but it needs to be reduced some.

Erik Johnson has been in Kanny for a few days and is finally making his first start tonight. Unfortunately, he has had elbow issues ever since he was drafted.
