Trying not to get too excited about Roby. Mainly rooting for health for the rest of the season.

same here, 3dender. Can be an important arm if he can stay healthy. His offspeed is really good. Locating the 97mph fastball should be his main focus now. Teams love to ambush his fastball left up in the zone. AAA teams will punish that more than AA teams, and MLB teams will punish it even more. It's process, I'm sure they have a game plan for him.

Savacool finally gets his promotion...3 seasons in the making....he did debut in PMB in late 2023 after draft. 4 games out of the BP.

Yeah.

Still, he was easily the prospect from the '23 sell-off that I was highest on. But he's got to stay healthy. Even if he doesn't cut it as a starter, I see him being a good back-of-the-bullpen pitcher.

Tink Hence in rehab again?

He's been on the IL for over a month. He's finally returning to action.

Interesting. I'm wondering how a player becomes an international free agent? Signed and then released?

that makes no sense

IFA's are international players, never been in the Majors. There's no international draft.

I got it. Cards still have international pool money left.
