June 21, 20187 yr Birmingham now has 6 starting pitchers. Dunning/Cease/Hansen/Flores/Clarkin/Guerrero. I wonder which of Clarkin or Guerrero gets moved to the pen. They also have 5 outfielders but they'll probably do a rotation similar to what WS was doing.

The 5th to join your first 4 is Tomshaw.

I suppose Puckett will take that spot whenever he ready. I assume this is about Guerrero and seeing how he works out of the pen. Someone has to start (they have org guys scattered throughout the minors). He lost his legit prospect status when left unprotected in Rule 5. The pen might offer a chance of resuscitation for Guerrero.

June 27, 20187 yr Two promotions here, guessing Dunning news coming?? Edited June 27, 20187 yr by Sleepy Harold
June 27, 20187 yr Poor Kannapolis, now their rotation is really poor. Rigler and a bunch of crap. They really blew that first half championship in that final week, too bad, as they will not come close in the 2nd half.
June 27, 20187 yr Great to see Lambert going against tougher competition now. As an older guy (for a recent draftee) you'd like to see him continue to excel and push for a spring training invite next year. Been said many times but the depth in the system is really showing through. Five years ago a guy like Lambert would probably enter next year top 10 in the org.
