Notes:
Tools: Fastball: 70 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50
Skinny: Recently promoted to Triple-A, Williams is a true power pitcher with a mid-to-upper-90s fastball, an above-average slider and a curveball. Williams looks like the next Guardians pitching prospect to ascend to the big league rotation with true No. 2 starter upside.

#2 starter upside? Sheesh!

What idiot at BA let this typo through?

It should stick out like a sore thumb that the person's finger accidentally slipped and typed an errant "4" after the "1"

 

[Cleveland is the Reason]

Roman Quinn released after his hot spring.

Wonder if that is a precursor to someone getting moved down or up to Columbus?

Moving Escobedo or even Holland out/up makes some sense..

Moving Lampe and Brito to AA needs to happen any day, especially Brito.

Perhaps the real driver here is the "older" Lynchburg guys who need to be promoted/challenged... for example, Nate Furman should be given priority over Tolentino at this time, IMO.

Remember that Oscar went down to keep 4 OF in Noel, Palacios, Roller (and Pries in case of emergencies with Collins to take is place at 1B). With Valera supposedly having no setbacks and Freeman not long in Cleveland (can't just have him sit), no move really is needed for now.

His hot spring was more like the first 3 games of spring, then it went all downhill. K's everywhere. 40% in AAA, that's way worse than Bradley Zimmer lol.

Hopefully, Tyler will get a chance to PH before he's sent back out.. if he's sent back out..

Experience can be a very demanding teacher.. sitting for a week in the big leagues.. may not be the harshest lesson he'll ever learn..

Give Freeman a couple games at 2B and give Gimenez a breather to watch and clear his head. That's my suggestion.

It's probably that 50 for a change up and control that keeps him from being projected as an alpha pitcher.

Anybody know anything about Korey Holland? Red hot in 4 games.

Organizational solider. Unless he suddenly Ks a ton less, walks and hits tons more...

Who knows maybe he turns into Alex Call, but I don't see it.

Athlete over baseball player when drafted... (Reminded me of a less polished Roman Quinn when Quinn was a prospect) Never has put it together with the bat, but if he can, physically everything is there. Now I don't know why he got an extended stay in Arizona and straight to AA, but whatever he is doing is paying off. I am just not sure if it's a fluke or he found something with his bat...
