If for no other reason than to allow him to know he'll start the season there next spring and he can get settled in there for the off-season...
EDIT: Although he prolly spends most of the winter split between Chula Vista and Ft. Myers...

No Wacha tonight in Worcester? Thought they said on the broadcast that he was making a rehab start.

I know Sikes is 23 and in A ball, but that guy just hits and hits.
He’s been my Granberg substitute as Devlin figures out AAA.

I'll go to Salem and drive him over to Greenville myself (bad pun intended).

My brain is in a million places right now so I read the first line then start looking at other things and was like "hm, sounds kinda like Devlin Granberg, maybe I'll go post that" then I came back and read the second line lol |

Was thinking about this last night. I think they're a bit handcuffed by the fact Yorke hasn't shown he's ready for a promotion to Portland. Not that getting SS reps for Lugo and McDonough should ever "block" Mayer, but the fact that Greenville has 3 MIF who should be playing, two of which can't really play elsewhere (i.e., 3B), ties their hands a bit. Maybe they push Lugo to Portland even though he's really tailed off just to make room.

McDonough already plays a fair bit of outfield, but I would assume the only realistic path to the majors for either of them involves multi-position versatility - is there any harm in having one or both of them play 3b/Rf etc. or is it just about taking time away from positions they already play still need to learn, or not throwing too much at them, etc. ? |

This all makes sense, they should probably just send Mayer straight to Portland so he doesn't create a glut in Greenville. |

Looks like Yizreel Burnet followed Luis Cohen - perhaps they're just going to move him to a reliever/piggy back roll (he was identified as a reliver when he signed).

Perales: 3IP, 2H, 1ER, 2BB, 3K. I wonder if he's capped at 3 innings for the rest of the season.
Bleis so far is 2-3 w/ his third 3B of the year and three SBs (15).

Lugo is already starting to play some 2B. I don't see a fit for him at third and too early for OF. McDonough is already being developed as a utility guy. He's primarily played LF this year but is getting much more time in CF with Rafaela gone, at 2B given how much Yorke has been hurt, and at SS now. He's flexible. The issue is Yorke is also priority and is 2B-only. |

Looks like Thad Ward was activated off the IL today, presuming that means he's back with Portland.

Max Ferguson batting second and playing SS, Corey Rosier batting sixth and playing LF in their debuts for the Drive. Also looks like Matthew Lugo is playing 3B, which I believe is his first time playing there as a pro.

Interesting. I didn't think Lugo had the arm for third, but I guess you can only play so many middle infielders at once.
