Wilkerson looks like he is gonna be in St Louis next month making his triumphant return to the majors after 6 years out of the league!

that's my take, too. Him and Taylor....might as well use them both. Our minor league starting depth took a beating this year. Bedell is the first to return from injury.

Sad year for the starters. Thompson, Rom, Robberse, Bedell, Roby, Hence, Hjerpe.....and Graceffo lost his starting gig.

from here on out, I'm going to yell "FOUR"...much like golfers yell "FORE".....whenever young Andrew Dutkanych IV records a Strikeout....FOUR.

We've been without a IV in the org ever since we cut LJ Jones IV a few years back.

Openings for V and VI...still seeking. Good benefits, weekends off!!!!

Prieto WAS in the lineup 20 minutes ago...now he's not.

let the speculation begin. I love baseball's silly trade season!!!!

some weather leading to delays and possible delays.

Severe Storms in Daytona, Game starts in 30 minutes, but Lightning has wrecked the start....under delay....storm over Daytona won't move out for a several minutes, then the 30 minute timer starts after a Lightning strike...this might take a while. Stay tuned.

counter clockwise moving cold front moving across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin... Peoria @ Beloit will likely be delayed for a long time...a PPD is possible....stay tuned

small super isolated pop ups in around Norfolk, but the game is getting started on time, I don't think anything will pop up tonight.

Springfield has storms leaving the area? Or is the wind strong out of the South? I think the game starts on time. Looks like the rain is over for now.

[craviduce]

Memphis 0, Norfolk 0 ; Top 1st / Just about to start

J.J. Wetherholt leads off

[craviduce]

Palm Beach @ Daytona ~ DELAYED ~ Lightning and Rain

[craviduce]

Norfolk pitcher throws junk to Wetherholt...82mph offspeed....then on the 5th pitch he goes fastball and pays for it

Hard liner to the wall in LCF.... Double

the guy is unbelievable in AAA...vs 3 different teams now.
