5/29 Gameday Thread: Fitts, Coffey, Wehunt, & JDE

Jhostynxon Garcia and Jedixson Paez promoted to Greenville.

Pure guesswork on my part, but if I were to try to explain it, it would be because Paez's profile is that of a pitcher that doesn't work as well at the upper levels of the minors where the fastball isn't good enough to get him by (a la Denyi Reyes or someone like that), so they want to test him against more advanced bats to see if it will still play. Whereas with Wehunt and ERC, the stuff plays, it's just a matter of developing and becoming more consistent with it.

Not saying I even agree with that, but again if I were to guess as to why, from an archetype perspective I do get it. He also has the most innings at the level, which is probably the likely explanation anyway. 

Wehunt and ERC are probably coming soon. There's some guys in the Greenville rotation you don't mind moving to the pen, plus Encarnacion is a promotion candidate.

Early is a promotion candidate too. Liu can always be moved to PB or the pen. It's where he belongs in the long run, anyway.

Fitts perfect game through 4 innings.

Fitts perfect game through 6 innings, and he is only at 66 pitches, so has the possibility on going 9.

Fitts strikes out Luis Robert for the second time to keep the perfecto through 7.

Kristian Campbell is currently the South Atlantic League leader in OPS and wRC+ after going 2-2 with a double and a walk.

Ovis is, I believe, the first ever professional player from Antigua and Barbuda as well
