Great throws by Rainiel in that report. He’s really doing some good work on all sides, it seems. It’ll be exciting to watch him next year, as he’ll presumably be at Memphis with a chance to make a big league debut at 20.
And Franklin continues to impress at AA. He and Doyle are a good starting pair, and I would assume they’ll have their choice between Eagen, Fajardo, Davis and Aita for the 3rd rotation spot in the 3 game playoff. I’d probably go with that order of preference and I expect Eagen may get the call as he has been dependable since coming over. With Lin on board as well, they’ve got a lot of guys capable of covering innings.
I would go with Fajardo for the 3rd spot. But I also would have an easier decision there as I would be promoting Eagen to AAA for the remainder of the season and to be their 3rd playoff SP.
One guy who doesn’t get talked about hardly at all who is having an amazing season is Jack Gurevitch. He’s played at 3 levels this season and been successful at all 3. I saw a post yesterday that he is the first minor leaguer since the draft began to hit over 30 home runs in his first full season (he eclipsed that tonight as he’s now hit another). He does strike out way too much. But this guy is an amazing hitter otherwise who deserves more recognition.
Player of the Day!

Brian, I hope you created a shortcut key for “Raniel Rodriguez” this season given the number of times you’ve had to type his name somewhere in the list of players of the day!
I saw that Brandon Clarke had a dominant first start in AA. If he can keep it all together, he would be a weapon.
The #stlcards system was 1-1 on Sunday. The Cardinal Nation’s Player of the Day, Ian Petrutz, drove in three as Springfield closed its regular season with a loss. Other standouts: Jack Gurevitch, Jesús Báez, Nate Dohm, Josh Fleming and Bligh Madris. https://t.co/d1EFMUpF9m pic.twitter.com/AVVw9ltTnu

I noticed that Fajardo wasn’t used yesterday. With Doyle’s blister, maybe Yhoiker will get the start this week? Should be a fun series with Tulsa. Beat those Dodger dandies!
The Dodgers recently recalled Josue De Paula from Tulsa to the big league club when they put Ohtani on the IL. I would think that will weaken the Drillers and help Springfield.
