Minor League Updates (7/16) Cards Transactions

[CNYFan]

I do not like to belittle these fine young men who have worked hard at this game in their young lives and have attained some success, but Chase Davis doesn't, imo, have any trade value.

I think he is a washout.

TRANSACTIONS

Alan Reyes promoted to Palm Beach from FCL

Michael Gomez released from Memphis Redbirds

RHP Max Rajcic has been transferred from Springfield (AA) to Memphis (AAA).

------

yep, it was either Henderson or Rajcic...they went with the innings eater who's been with Springfield for nearly 2 full seasons. He's having a better year than he did last, but I think a lot of people wanted to see Henderson there

[craviduce]

RHPs Chen Wei-Lin & DJ Carpenter have been placed on the 7-day IL.

Brody Moore from Memphis to Springfield

-------

this tells me Fermin or Saggese is about to be sent back to Memphis. Who takes their place? Walker?

Yes, most likely.

[CNYFan]

That will be an interesting transaction.

I think Fermin stays with the Big Club and hope Church gets the call.
JW should just chill and try to regain his groove without the MLB pressure.

---------------------

I believe they expect some of the new draft picks will be starting the last two months....that is most different indeed....or they feel they have several FCL pitchers capable of starting...that's funny

Winquest to Springfield...Henderson or Rajcic will likely be promoted. Not sure on both, but I feel 1 definitely will...or at least should be promoted.

Any hope in Winquest ever touching the Majors?

I haven't seen anything that tells me he can be a starter in the Majors. It's not that he doesn't do anything bad, except for give up runs. His BAA is okay. His WHIP is okay. His HR against is really good. His Walks per/9 could be better as a starter, but it's not horrible. His problem is that he will allow those walks to score, so his ERA will always be in the mid to upper 4's, lower 5's. He doesn't K alot of people, he's more of a ground ball guy it seems....56% GB rate is plus for him.

His future is in the BP...that'll probably get him a 3-5 year career in the Majors.

He has to improve immensely over the next 2-3 seasons to make it as a starter....I don't see it happening

Thanks.

I was at the Peoria game on Sunday for Winquest's last start. He looked really good. His stuff was good. Upper 90's fastball, with a sharp breaker. He looked focused and looked like a guy ready to battle out there. They took him out inexplicably in the 5th with an 8-0 lead, which they quickly squandered and lost 10-8 in extras.

Only time seeing him in person, but I was impressed. He stood out a lot more than any other pitcher that pitched.

Thanks.

I don't think it would be wise to burn Walker's last option to send him to AAA with only 2 months left in their season.

It would have wise a few months ago.
