Looks like Matt's finally getting adjusted to the AA game.

Heard through the grapevine that Dan Vogelbach is on a rampage.

It's really too bad he's a DH. Wonder if they could teach Rizzo how to play LF.

Eh Vogelbach has got a long ways to go. By the time he is ready I really could see the NL adopting the DH.

They should teach him to harness his personal gravity so he can play at the hot corner and just suck balls hit his way into orbit :D

Peoria is in Beloit tomorrow-monday. Seeing that I'm only 10-15 min from Beloit, me and some friends are going to at least one game. Excited to see Soler and Baez, also that Miguel Sano kid in Beloit thats in the Twins farm system.

Well you won't get to see Baez because he is in Daytona, but Soler should definitely be starting.

No it isn't. If you get to see Starlin Parlta or Jose Rosario it would be interesting to hear the scouting report on their stuff. Each of them can throw hard, but the other stuff is questionable. They have the most upside of any of the arms in Peoria as far as I know. Joe Zeller would be fun too since he is a knuckleballer but I am pretty sure he pitched last night.

Parlta pitched on thursday I believe, and Rosario is on the DL I think.

Peralta went Tuesday so he would be in line to pitch tomorrow, and you are right about Rosario being on the DL.

Plate discipline is the biggest question with Soler. Everyone says he has tons of power when he connects and that he is a prototypical RF in terms of D, but hitting you were off the island often lands the plate d under question.
