July 28, 20169 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20160728 Adams, Thompson, and Martinez are the scheduled starters.
July 28, 20169 yr Call 2-2. Luis Martinez 5.0 IP, 3H, 1R, 2BB, 5K, he's having a sneaky good year if you look past the 4.28 ERA: 9.2 K/9, 2.9 BB/9.
July 29, 20169 yr Call is 3/5 with a BB. Hitting .378 in Low-A. Is he going to be in W-S by the end of the year?

July 29, 20169 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Spencer Adams getting knocked around. What a ridiculous promotion. I'm probably alone, but I like the promotion. Take that back, I like him being with another team/coach. Not at all saying the coaches are bad at WS. I think Batista was trying to make him into a type pitcher he isn't. I just don't see him being a total pitch to contact type. Plus his delivery looks totally different. Completely. Idk, maybe that's not a bad thing??? I know he really like Perdew while he was at WS last year. I think his #'s will slowly improve. Especially the K's. JMO, we'll see

July 29, 20169 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) This organization has some dumb promotions. This and the Fulmer. They needed an arm in AA rotation. But, I would rather have seen Stephens move up than Adams myself. I think Stephens is more ready for that jump right now, even if his ceiling is lower than Adams'. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Really wish he could discover his fastball again. He didn't lose it - it's been re-tooled, and subsumed by the 2-seamer. By design. To wit...

JMO, we'll see They have really changed Spencer, pretty dramatically. I've written about it. And if course, you'd know! Hard to say if it's really for the best or not.

I think this promotion has more to do with him getting to work with J.R. Perdew on a everyday basis then Spencer pushing the issue. He is very well respected within the organization.
