Henderson and Westburg promoted to Norfolk

[MurphDogg]

Can't say I was expecting this today.

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.

awesome news!

[MurphDogg]

I thought they would wait until the All Star Break.

Going to be tough to justify keeping them down if they play well in AAA for the next three months. Especially given the lack of offense on the left side of the Major League infield.

It will be interesting to see where they play.  Gotta think they play more in the spots the Os hope to have them be in when they come up.

This is great!! I wonder if this means Martin comes up to take Owings spot. His playing time will be reduced if not. 

[UMDTerrapins]

Seems like there should be some additional movement coming. Vavra, Martin, Gutierrez, Bannon, Long, Grenier, Dorrian, Cullen. Something’s gotta give.

Excellent news! And very unexpected IMO. I thought they would wait until around the AA all star game.

Vavra figures to play a lot of second and CF I would guess?

One thing is for sure…these 2 better play basically everyday.  Who cares about the rest of these guys.

Nice!  Agree with others hoping for additional moves.

I was really thinking Gunnar was getting promoted today, but Westburg too?  Fantastic.  Very excited to follow Norfolk now.

I’m guessing a couple of releases are coming.

Once Vavra gets back, that gives that lineup 4 very interesting guys to follow.  Add in Hall and there is definitely a lot of interest in Norfolk all of a sudden.  Be nice to see Diaz get back and stay healthy.

Yea I would agree. 
 

Dorrian’s OpS is barely over 500 and he turns 26 soon.

They could drop Owings for Martin soon (not that it matters)..maybe Bannon.

Not expecting Westbury, but was really feeling like they would promote Gunnar today.
