April 23, 201510 yr Tyler Saldino to DL, retro 4/22 (not sure of reason) Justin Jirschele and Drew Garcia flip slots Jason Coats to Charlotte (deserved and good, but that OF is full - shot across Mitchell's bow?) Michael Ynoa re-activated for Winston-Salem OF Brian Fletcher to BHAM from Ext ST
April 23, 201510 yr I feel bad for Saladino, he's got the skills to make it to the show but I'm not sure if he's durable enough. Seems like he goes on the DL every year, probably suggests that his ceiling is as a utility guy which is realistic but I was holding out hope that he could develop into a super-utility player like Sean Rodriguez for TB.
April 23, 201510 yr Good for Coats. Maybe becomes a bit of a prospect if he keeps it up. Hopefully the end for Mitchell. It has to be. Granted I've said that 1000 times.
April 23, 201510 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 3s3 seconds ago Tyler Saladino went on DL w/ tendinitis in right shoulder. Sox hopeful it's a week. Hitting .289 w/ 6 runs, 7 RBIs, 5 SBs in 11 games

Granted I've said that 1000 times. I think at the very least it is a shot across Mitchell's bow. I don't think it is just performance with him, I think there is an attitude issue, based on some reports I've heard. I like Coats, I actually had him on my Top 30 in January (back end). danman31 is a fan too as I recall. He's got an unusual combo of power and contact, some speed, strong arm, plays above average corner OF defense and can play CF in a pinch. Doesn't walk a lot, but seems to work counts in the few times I've seen him live or on tape. He just turned 25 in Feb so he's maybe a year (at most) older than you'd like at AAA, but you have to remember he missed his draft year recovering from a knee injury. So developmentally he's on track timing-wise.

Tyler's coming back from the TJS so i'm really not all that surprised that he's running into some muscle soreness issues.
April 24, 201510 yr Good to see Ynoa back. Let's see if he can stay healthy and on the mound for 2-3 consecutive months.
