Encouraging early returns from Leyson Septimo at Birmingham. 7ip, 9k, 3bb. Maybe they can fix him.

Nationals promoted Bryce Harper to AA.

Another early BP session for Dunn is ready to start. Stephen Sauer to start the first round.

Wondering what this means for Sauer and the rest of 2011?

 

Kevin Moran left for Chicago today to check out his elbow injury (likely out for year)

McPherson to the DL, Ricks activated. I'm sure Ricks goes back on the DL tomorrow, either Kuhn is finally promoted or a AAAA type infielder is acquired to take the spot.

Kuhn to Charlotte.

Kuhn to Charlotte.

 

Bout time, now lets see if he keeps on hitting and becomes a legit prospect.

As much as I like him, I do think he could use at least half of 2012 in AAA before he's fully ready.

Good for Kuhn. If he finishes strong, I could definitely see a September call up.

Jose Martinez to Birmingham.

John Spatola to Winston-Salem. Figured Brady Shoemaker would've been moved up instead.

Dusty Harvard to Kannapolis

 

Got the call... K-town its about to go down. #intimidators

John Spatola to Winston-Salem. Figured Brady Shoemaker would've been moved up instead.

Spats is a more natural Right Feilder than Shoemaker. Replacing Café, with a right fielder makes sence even though I feel they could use Ciolli as a RF and have Shoe in Winston's LF

Heck of a catch in RF by Ciolli last night. Made SportsCenter's top 10.

Adam Ricks is officially back on Charlotte's DL

Jason Bour promoted to Birmingham, Stephen Sauer activated from the DL. Don't know what that means for Josh Phegley and Jared Price in B'ham. Price could have been released, traded or DL'ed.

Justin Greene to DL

Justin Greene to DL

 

So they send the Barons a third catcher. Luis Sierra would've made more sense.

Just now from my Twitter:

He does it again. 3-run HR for Dayan Viciedo. A monster shot to right center. He has 16 HR and 62 RBI this season.

 

Garrett Johnson activated from DL (Kannapolis)

Man, I just saw the vid of Mike Trout getting drafted for the first time. No matter what fan you are, that experience had to have bring a smile to you.

And to back this up even more he has 7K's and 7 BB's in July!!

 

And only 66 K's for the year in 339 PA's. Really gotten better in plate discipline.

Kevin Moran left for Chicago today to check out his elbow injury (likely out for year)

Update:

 

Officially joining the Tommy John surgery club on Wednesday..Could also be referred to as the Birdball pitching staff surgery!

Update:

 

Ouch. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery.

And sad. Two picks after we took Mitchell.

...........And, he's only 19.
