Yes. Was actually getting ready to head to Omaha with a friend to see him play when he told me to hold off due to the trade. He has changed his stance and is now standing a bit more upright and also has his hands back. While we haven’t talked much “shop,” it looks like it cut down on his bat movement during the swing, as he shortened up the initial “load” when bringing his hands back, allowing him to get through the zone quicker. Also worked on his strike zone recognition. He’s always seemed to take pitches before, but now he seemed to be better at not swinging at horrible “pitchers” pitches and fouling off stuff close to the zone. His mentality also seems different. Said he wanted to be a tougher out. Seems to be going well.

Wynns 2-2 with an rbi and caught Ryan McMahon stealing. Not a bad debut there.

Yes, but they have to get through a 4 game series in KC first. That open spot will be closed soon. Then probably re-opened soon after.

Would you take him over Cumberland?

I thought so, but when you don’t get service time, I didn’t know if that changed things.

If someone isn’t vaccinated and put on whatever list it is for the Toronto series, how does the replacement player work? I think someone earlier mentioned no service time, but do they have to be a current 40 man player? If, for example, Santander is on the list. Could they actually call up Stowers without having to put him on the 40? Or would Vavra or even Bannon be more likely, since they are already on the 40? Same thing with a catcher, if say Chirinos can’t play?

Best tandem of Frederick Keys catchers ever?

They both could probably end the season when the same ERA.

Wynns traded from Phillies to the Giants and will be on the MLB team.

Vavra is back in Norfolk now.

I’d rather not watch a video of Adley being created…

I would like to see Bannon with more MLB time. I think he has more pop than Nevin, who is getting a lot of chances.

Sniped me by 10 seconds. June is usually when we see the big moves, historically. It’ll be interesting to see the ripple effect this has, from top to bottom.

Imagine the year being 2016 and someone says “all 4 catchers in Frederick will be on the MLB 40 man roster in 2020 and 3 will be MLB players in 2021.”

Because they pair well with the Sisco slabbed cards.

If he is out until mid July/early August and then starts throwing again, I could see him going to the AFL after the season.

There is a pretty big thread about Grayson in the Minor League Forum. Since he is not in the Majors, please keep all information about him there.

Grayson isn’t in the MLB. There is a thread for him in the Minor League section that is also covering the injury.

It’ll be a pitcher, barring something major. That’s about it.
