Bets on the GCL starter? I'll guess Javier Rodriguez (who I'm actually very surprised didn't make it to Lowell).

Bets on the GCL starter? I'll guess Javier Rodriguez (who I'm actually very surprised didn't make it to Lowell). Yeah, that is a little surprising. I'm not all that enamored with Luis Ramos, but he somehow got the opening day start for Lowell. Just to be different, I'll go with Kevin Steen. ADD: A little surprising Gerson Bautista didn't make Lowell either. Weren't you guys (whoever saw him in spring training) somewhat impressed? Maybe my recollection is off, but I seem to remember that. Although just reading the Scouting Scratch from Fall Instructs and he was more of a work in progress. He's another guy that might start. He's 20 as well (along with Rodriguez). |

Although, part of me wonders if Rodriguez is hurt or something. Just a strange guy to be repeating the level, given that he pitched reasonably well last year and is 20. |

Yeah wow, that is... quick. Gotta wonder about the original report then. Also, I will await my chicken dinner. |

I didn't realize Hamilton was a done deal. Have we heard anything somewhat definitive on him (I know it hasn't been officially announced)? It will be interesting to hear his bonus $$.

Hamilton and Downs had not been announced, but we either knew they were in Florida or that they were pretty likely. |

Yeah, we knew Hamilton was likely, but I thought only from tweets. I would have thought there was more certainty around Kyri Washington, who isn't on the roster.
Anyway, nothing major, just surprised he's ready to do right now. That's a good thing.

Here's hoping that Benintendi and Rei sign soon because, as the team is currently put together, I have little interest in attending Lowell's games this summer (with the possible exception of the novelty of Brandon Magee).

As we discussed on the podcast, Ockimey, Acosta, and Basabe are worth checking out on the hitting side, and Cosart for the pitchers, but yeah, I hear you. Lakins also is kind of interesting as well. |

Manuel Margot promoted to Portland, per the Portland Sea Dogs twitter account.

Manuel Margot promoted to Portland, per the Portland Sea Dogs twitter account. Kinda surprising but definitely backs up the idea that his slump was injury related. |

Guessing that Sam Travis won't be too far behind.

Guessing that Sam Travis won't be too far behind. Has to be. He's dominating. I very well may have been wrong about Sam Travis (obviously that's a good thing). We'll see what scouts have to say about him as he as to be gaining in popularity. |

Guessing that Sam Travis won't be too far behind. I half expected him to stat the year there, so yeah I agree. |

Definitely Sam Travis deserves to be promoted to AA. Presently he is:
- number 1 in hits with 77
- 3rd in batting at .311
- 4th in RBI with 40
- and tied for 5th in doubles

Definitely Sam Travis deserves to be promoted to AA. Presently he is: - number 1 in a counting stat that ignores walks, strikeouts, and doesn't control for BABIP luck - 3rd in a basically meaningless stat - 4th in an utterly useless stat - and tied for not that high in the lesser of XBH fixed that for you. But since he does have a good WOBA, BB% and K%, I'm good with a promotion as well. Hope they consider letting Devers take his place. |

I wonder if Devers follows the Travis promotion, assuming it comes after the CAR all star game. It's not like Jordan Betts is blocking him, and they could just give Betts reps at 1B instead of 3B.
