Steve Andrade has been called up by the Royals and Luke Hudson will probably be DFAed, no official announcement yet though.
Yes.
"Durham (IL, AAA): Received OF/DH Ryan Knox from Montgomery. "
Knox was jsut in durham acouple weeks ago. he better get used to shuttling it seems
An outright cut for Marland WIlliams is a little surprising but now that i look it up hes both older and a worse hitter than i though.
I wonder if he'll go back to FB, IIRC he was a decent recruit out of HS
Cubs articles say its likely Aardsma to Iowa for Rich Hill, who will take Ruschs rotation spot
What do you guys think of Matt Roney taking a bullpen spot when Saarloos/Kennedy/Gaudin replaces Loaiza in the rotation? He's been pretty good since moving to the bullpen full time.
I haven't seen any formal confirmation of this. However, Hill was scratched from his scheduled start for Iowa tonight, which leads me to believe that it's going to happen.

Bad luck or AAAA All-Star?
I haven't seen any formal confirmation of this yet, either.

Both?

I was wondering about Holmberg (Ryan Crew had shifted to 2B recently, with Mike Bell promoted to play SS). That's an interesting infield - two juco A-As (Bell and Matt Gamel), a guy who hit over .370 last year (Holmberg) and a guy who might have been the best player in an underrated conference (Crew, the Southland).

Joel Santo. He's scheduled to start against Beloit tomorrow.

Aubrey Huff is expected to report to Visalia on Wednesday for a rehab assignment. Julio Lugo may also head out for a rehab assignment this week.

Todd Helton will begin a rehab assignment tomorrow night for Colorado Springs.

I believe in Roney the reliever. His main problem as a starter was lacking a reliable third pitch, but he's had big league stuff for sometime now.
Witasick's still not close AFAICT, so sure, give Roney a shot. He's older than Casilla though, and certainly older than Garcia.
-- MWE
I'm still experimenting with the best way to do these.

That's more a commentary on the state of the system. (And yes, he did come in at #30).
-- MWE
I'm happy to see Rundgren get a shot at AAA, and he did manage two hits in his first game for the Isotopes last night. He'll likely return to Zebulon when Andino gets back, though.

Albuquerque Tribune story. For some reason, I didn't think that Bebe Buell was Rex's birth mother; he's barely mentioned at all in Buell's book.
-- MWE
What is the rationale for that rule? Why now?
The minor leaguers don't get as much game action in spring training as do the major leaguers, and typically the minor league pitchers are on very restrictive pitch counts for the first two-three weeks as a result, hence the extra player provides some flexibility to AAA and AA teams, and also lets some pitchers who might otherwise be in extended spring get some work in A-ball while other guys pitch a level higher. The rule allows for AAA and AA teams to carry an extra player for the first month of the season (which actually ends tonight at midnight, not last night).
