Osvaldo De La Rosa: 30 years old in the DSL disclaimer.
1.99 ERA with 31 Ks and only 5 walks in 22.2 innings. WHIP is under 1.

Brandon Phillips hit by a pitch on the hand and has to leave the game in the first inning.

Houck dealing so far. Greenville Riding the River Dogs into 1st place.

Houck just got K #3 on a changeup, and it looked GOOD AS HELL. Baffled a pretty darn good hitter for the Dash.

Another day, another triple for Duran and another scoreless inning for Lakins

Out of everyone, he's the only one in the Salem rotation that should be pushed up to AA sooner rather than later. Since he went back to the 2 seam, he's been excellent, and his overall line isn't reflective of his readiness to move up, as opposed to Mata, who has age/walks/innings limit holding him back. |

I tend to agree with that. He’s been in an absolute tear, and it’s been night and day. It’s not easy to come back from a third of a season with a 6 ERA, but he’s making a helluva run. I'd send him to Portland and look at an AFL stint possibly, though there’s the innings issue. But definitely a stretch in AA. He’s earned it. |

Also, Tanner Nishioka, with all the obvious caveats, deserves mention. Pomona’s a terrific school academically, so he’s clearly a bright guy, but how can you not root for a DIII senior sign who looks like he might actually parlay his shot into a future utility INF role?

I'd send him to Portland and look at an AFL stint possibly, though there’s the innings issue. But definitely a stretch in AA. He’s earned it. There are four things that give me pause here. Please bear in mind that I may as well be the president of the Tanner Houck fan club; I've been singing his praises all year, and he's one of my favorite people that I've ever covered. 1) While Tanner's been on a fantastic run of late, it's not like his ERA in the last month is 0.50. He's had four outstanding starts this month, one good start spoiled by a bad inning (7/12), and a legitimately bad start to open the month (7/2). Barring a pressing need to move him up, I don't think it's strictly merited from a statistical standpoint based on a good month (June) and a very good month (July). 2) Bryan Mata's stiff back has caused some uncertainty in our rotation; move Houck up to Portland and we're looking at some holes that would need to be filled. Not that I'd say no to Denyi Reyes and/or Kutter Crawford, but I'd rather see one of them come up to piggy-back with Mata to keep innings down the rest of the way. 3) The Sox are (implicitly) trying to keep Houck's inning count down. After throwing 90+ pitches in five of six outings between 6/9 and 7/7 (and 89 pitches in the other outing), he hasn't thrown more than 86 pitches in any of his starts since, only working into the 7th inning once (7/12, where Winston-Salem got to him for four runs). Moving him up to Portland seems likely to add high-stress innings to his arms, rather than allowing him to continue building confidence here in Salem. I think this also points in the direction of no AFL this year. 4) I'd be shocked if Tanner didn't start '19 at Portland, and if he pitches well there, he'll move at an appropriate pace. I don't think promoting him now affects that one way or another. |

I don't think promoting him now affects that one way or another. All valid concerns. It’s also feasible to schedule a skip start or two, keep him in Salem until the last week, give him a tiny AA taste (including playoffs) and go to the AFL. I do think there’s merit to giving him an extended stretch of success. |
