I'd heard about it, but that it was only at Salt River's stadium.

I'm pleased.  At least they are looking at the possibility.

Nice.  What is his full repertoire?  I think he could be an option in the 2020 bullpen

He's mostly Fastball/Slider, he's t99, averaged 96-97 when healthy. Slider can be good at times, but was more averagish late last year. Splitter is really just a show-me third pitch IMO. He struggled with command in his MLB stint last year, but has shown enough command and stuff throughout his MiLB career to be a middle reliever, maybe a medium leverage guy. He's better than Kline, IMO, not that that's saying a lot. I don't think he's any sort of impact reliever, but a useful depth piece at least.

It seems in the Villar trade value thread the board's sense is a tender is a certainty, but I wonder if Bannon remains scorching as he was at AAA if that could impact the decision at all.

I've been totally fine with keeping all the best hitters down this year because there's time to get everyone who matters 1000 PA's in the show to acclimate for 2022.  But the window for those 1000 PA's starts next May.  I'm not sure if Bannon is one of those guys or not, but if he stays good through AFL, Spring, AAA in April I'll get itchy to see how his game translates.

I would think Villar would be the shortstop next year if he is here next year.  Don't see how that Bannon would have any effect on that as he has been mostly a third baseman and sometime second.

The Saguaros are playing their 8th game of the season tonight, a quick statistical update:

Dean Kremer made his second AFL appearance tonight, going three innings and allowing one run on one hit (a home run) and one walk while striking out 5. 

Over his two appearances Kramer has pitched 5 innings, allowed 1 run on 3 hits with 1 walk and 8 strikeouts.

Alex Wells has also made two appearances, going 4 innings over those two appearances, allowing 1 run on 5 hits with no walks while striking out 6.

David Lebron made his third appearance tonight. After allowing 4 runs on 6 hits with one strikeout over an inning and a 2/3rds in his first appearance, he has bounced back with 4 innings allowing no runs on no hits with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts over his last two appearances including tonight.

Cody Carroll has pitched three times, allowing 1 run on 1 hit (a home run) with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts over 2 and 2/3rds innings.

Rylan Bannon is batting .333/.368/.333 in four games.

Mason McCoy is batting .417/.500/.500 in three games.

Both Bannon and McCoy are in the lineup tonight and these stats do not include the game tonight.

Lebron is kind of an interesting fringe prospect.  Traded intl slot $ for him.  Drafted out of D2 powerhouse Tampa University.  Was 24 when he was drafted.  Went JC before transferring to Tampa, was all-academic in high school and junior college.  He graduated HS in 2012, so he had to have been red shirted a few times between then and being drafted in 2018. He was starting this season at Frederick, but I think he might be more of a bullpen guy with his 10 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9.

Since Hays is out are they obligated to send someone else?

Any guesses?
