I think every player at every level being represented by MLBPA will help preserve the number of jobs in the minors.  They just contracted last year with an ugly negotiation with MiLB owners. Doubt they want to go through that again a year later.  Once MLBPA gets involved, further contraction is going to be super tricky.  I hope this goes through. Minor league players need a minimum standard of income/quality of life.

Chapelli and Hernandez from DSL now in AZ.

Noah Schultz pitched there also.

Tommy Sommer added to Germany WBC as he has dual citizenship.

Oh boy, I can't wait for MLB to argue that they suddenly don't need one of the A-ball teams, Congress to threaten to cut the monopoly exemption, and the whole song and dance to get real messy.

I wonder if MLB regrets the couple of bucks they saved by cutting back on the minors yet?

 

Poor guy. Just can't stay healthy.

Colas and Burke to triple A.  AA ends in about ten days so let’s them play a little longer.

I’m surprised with Burke. Colas deserves it. He’s definitely knocking on the door for RF next spring.

Anyone surprised or know why AAA lefty reliever Hunter Schryver retired? With the Sox searching for lefty relief at times this season with Sousa, Banks and even Severino, I always wondered why they never considered Schryver for promotion because his career MiLB stats have always been pretty good. Just curious…

I truly hope DJ makes it.
