P Paul Wilson has been assigned by the Reds to Dayton for rehab, and will pitch tomorrow night.

Braves optioned INF Martin Prado back to Mississippi, and promoted 33-YO C/INF Dax Norris from the MBraves to Richmond. Norris is one of those organizational soldiers who hangs around because he's willing to catch and do just about anything else. He signed originally with the Braves, went over to the Astros for a few years, and now is back with Atlanta. He could probably have had a career as a backup catcher if he'd caught a break earlier in his career.

Tony Pena Jr. will probably be sent back to AAA Richmond soon, when Macay McBride is ready to be activated from the DL. McBride is currently on a rehab assignment at AA Mississippi. (That move may mean that Norris goes back to AA.)
Pretty interesting Elijah Dukes interview here, he tells his side of all the stories, talks about how much of a loner he is and a bunch of on field stuff.

Also Blue Jays pseudoprospect RHP Edward Rodriguez got a 50 gamer for performance enhancers. Only one of the 9 suspendees so far is a nonpitcher
Obermueller was released so as to be sold to a Japanese team.
Also i heard something about Damian Moss mystically being cut from RIchmond despite a really strong year so far, maybe for the same reasons, but i havnt found verification. Youd think with the pen now we might have some use for Moss eventually.
Darn,,,i thought Burrows was at least worth an Aball roster spot. Ive never seen him pitch but hes been decently sucessful. I saw him play RF for Rome 3 or so years ago and he really could throw. Ran well too, good athlete.
Also i didnt realize Nic Jackson had sunk all the way down to Aball unless that was an injury rehab
He was moved to Richmond several days ago, actually. And Damian Moss was released by the RBraves; his "strong season" resulting in a 1-2 record, a 10.33 ERA, and 5 HR allowed in 13 1/3 IP.
He'd posted a 10.66 ERA in eight relief appearance for the DayCubs and allowed 5 HR in 12 2/3 IP.

Huh, ok. I never saw his line but i thought he was suppposed to be doing solidly. I stand corrected
Beloit placed P Adam Hawes (elbow) on the DL and received P Frank Mata from extended spring.
Dayton added 3B Angel Colon from extended spring. The Reds also released former 1st round supplemental pick 3B Mark Schramek, who had been at Sarasota.
KC released former UNC P Adam Kalkhof, activated P Eliezer Garcia from the DL at Burlington (A).
Peoria activated P Scott Taylor, a 5th-round pick of the Cubs in '05, and sent P Roberto Sololongo back to extended spring.
-- MWE
As I mentioned yesterday, Koby Clemens will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a dislocated finger; he was playing at Lexington.

Lynchburg placed P Kyle Bloom on the DL and activated P Greg Martin.

The "anti-Reimold" scout actually likes Reimold but feels that his power won't translate into more than 20 homers in the bigs, and that he'll be limited to first base because he'll slow down as he develops.
Bummer, I mildly root for him.
Good to see Michael Bell with West Virginia. I wonder if he'll bump Crew to the utility role and assume the starting shortstop spot.
Moss got nuked in a relief appearance versus Buffalo a little while back (that where most of those runs came from). He looked awful.
Did anyone see Sotolongo pitch? I think he was expected to be their closer going into the season.
-- MWE
CRAP...Him and Neighborgall, big HS rivals, are both falling by the wayside. Kalkhof had a great debut last fall. Former ACC Freshman o the Year, IIRC, beating out Neighborgall for the honor. Kalkhof always knew how to pitch better
Huh, now that i look it up he pitch 3 and 2/3 scorless innings in low A thisyear. I wonder why they dumped him, since he was real good last fall in the NW league (12/52 BB/K in 39 innings). Have his injuries killed his already modest stuff that much?
Also Willie James is an absolute BLAST to watch play. Not a prospect at all (barely crosses the Mendoza line and has no power) but will do aaanything to get on base (bunt, get hit by the pitch, slap and run, walk) since he knows he cant hit. Really fast and loves to use his speed, really can disrupt an A ball pitchers mind, and has alwys been a fan favorite.
Are you in Myrtle Beach? I'm going down there Mem Day weekend.

Fun ball club that might produce 10 or 11 big leaguers...Seven (McCann, Francouer, Lerew, Davies, Capellan, Meyer, Boyer) have already made it in just 2 years.
Interesting that Paul Weichard, the former Pittsburgh OF prospect, was on that club as a pitcher.
-- MWE
Josh Burrus (nice as hell guy, btw..i was lucky enough to be there during the brief amount of time they had him in Rome) and Shurholtz Jr (sure he probably doesnt deserve it) might make it. Also Wes Timmons has an outside shot as AAAA guy getting a cup of coffee someday.
Maybe Luis Hernandez too, he couldnt hit a lick when i saw him. How often is it that a guys only decent offensive year comes at Coastal Federal?
A lot of people who visit the site don't read or follow the comments. If you place the updated info up at the top as suggested, you'd have a better chance of reaching the biggest audience.
The Braves, long developers of cheap, homegrown (often from GA or nearby--see Francouer, McCann, Chipper (FL), Saltalamacchia, Davies) look to be draining the cupboard of quality position players in the minors. Salty is the only one likely to make a significant impact, and that will likely be a while, as he's still catching every day and is considering a lesser C than McCann, defensively. Some reasonable pitching exists, but largely in loA-AA. Likely relievers, though.
This is a great thread idea.
Where do you find the transactions? I haven't found a reliable source yet.
With the two guys added to the Red Barons roster, minor-league stalwart LH starter Allen Davis is being dropped to AA.
As for the Red Barons, Cole Hamels will make his AAA debut tomorroooooo in Norfolk.
In today's game John Maine got the win and Matt White (yes, this guy, the Phillies picked him up just before the season) had his first bad start after two great ones this year.
Anywhere and everywhere :) Team Web sites, local newspapers, MiLB.com.
Our Sports Central is a good starting point.

I have him on a sim league team and any time a pitcher gets placed on the DL, it always raises a red flag.
Thanks,

This doubled his career hit total and was his first career RBI, run and extrabase hit in the majors.
Also he pitched 2 2/3 scoreless.

Strained oblique I beleive. Expected to miss 1-2 starts.
Thanks for the info....
Ugggh, I hope he's not going to go the route of Hudson....
Req
For those not familiar with him, he was considered a possible first round talent before injuries hampered his sophomore and junior years at Georgia Tech. Philadelphia tabbed him in the 8th(?) round - which I think was a steal - though there are questions about his defense and, specifically, whether or not his throwing arm will ever come back (a la Brian Stavisky). He reminds me of a less athletic Matt Murton (though that could just be the school connection) with a teeny bit more power potential.
Mike Nannini - how many statheads promoted that guy back in the day? He's still only 25, but I think that ship has sailed.

BA transactions were updated yesterday.

I have no idea what's going on, especially since they replaced Inglett at Buffalo with Ivan Ochoa. Unless Merloni's being showcased or something, this makes no sense at all.

Strong was a free agent, as you might expect.
I think Dee is going to be part of the "2003 Royals Reunion Tour" in Omaha with Guiel and Kyle Snyder.
Apparently Chris George is having no luck pitching for the Isotopes. Imagine that.
Also Michel Abreu was called up to replace Brett Harper, who went on the DL, earlier this week.
Royals signed IF Alejandro Prieto and assigned him to Omaha. Burlington Bees placed P Ryan DiPietro on the DL with a hyperextended right knee and assigned P Michael Penn to Burlington. P Ryan Baerlocher has been assigned to Omaha out of extended spring training.
There's a No Myth joke there somewhere, and I don't want to find it.
In other Royals news, Senreiso's back in High Desert.
