Best news is 2 of the ‘goods’ have been promotion.
Sad how Canning is so much worse than last year.
Time to see how Meregildo does at Harrisburg.
What ever happened to Andrew Stevenson? He’s off the 40 man roster. Did he get hurt? Is he out of baseball?
No, he was just deemed fungible when there was a roster issue in April. He’s currently playing LF for the Red Wings, waiting for his next break.
Luke Cuevas read his name this morning and stepped it up Saturday night
If that’s what it takes… but in all seriousness, Cuevas was my sleeper this past offseason and I don’t have very many of those these days because it needs to be someone I saw in person. That’s down from 50-70 games to about 10-15.
