I recall once seeing Willie McGee saying a healthy McElroy is the fastest runner in the org. That said, look for Seferina and Edman to rack up the stolen bases in the coming weeks as Johnny Rodriguez loves to run.
Plummer has slowly gained traction again at Peoria, slashing .260/.393/.360 since the start of this month. Also, hit his 4th home run last night.
Yes, Woodford was activated off the DL yesterday and Helsley was not listed on the upcoming probables. This could also be his turn to be skipped for rest, though. Do keep in mind, Arturo Reyes is back with Memphis.
Not that it matters, but they had Oquendo stationed in Johnson City for the sole purpose of working with Perez before his demotion.
@peoriachiefs control artist Mike O'Reilly has been promoted to High-A Palm Beach & could make his FSL debut as soon as tomorrow. #STLCards

Speaking of Alvarez, he’s expected to return by the end of this month after a high-ankle sprain. Sosa, on the other hand, might miss the rest of the season after hamate bone surgery. Two candidates for the Fall League?
Nice couple nuggets from BA on Sierra and Flaherty in today’s Top 100 chat:
John Manuel: We definitely talked Magneuris Sierra in our top 100 meeting. I think the question again was the impact; how much power is this guy going to have? He might wind up being a guy we were light on, because he can really run, can really defend and is showing bat-to-ball skills. He’s the kind of athlete that the game is trending toward, all-around guys. I hope that trend continues.
J.J. Cooper on Flaherty: His stuff has gotten a lot better. In the past, scouts have been concerned about the quality of his fastball, but he’s gotten stronger and has steadily added velocity, which has made everything play up. He’s a good mid-rotation starting prospect.His stuff keeps getting better. What was once a below-average fastball is now at least average to above-average.
#STLCards second baseman Kolten Wong unloads on a 3-run homer for Springfield. Now 3-for-4 with 2 XBH's and 4 RBI tonight.

It is important to note, Kevin Siegrist's velocity remains down. Sitting 88-90 mph tonight and was hit around pretty well. #STLCards

Not doubting he has power. For reference, Bader had 14 home runs in his first 304 at-bats last year (April 7 to July 10, .283 average) compared to 17 in 304 at-bats right now. From July 11 and on, he would finish the season with exactly five in his final 161 at-bats with a .236 average. My point is he is a peaks and valleys player, and average game power is not nearly as intriguing in a run-producing position like left or right field than in center where Sierra is atop the depth chart.
Not surprised to see those mentioned above left off. Too many question marks surrounding Weaver’s durability as a starter in the long-term. Bader is a bit of a tweener; his power potential is far less intriguing in a corner outfield spot. Flaherty still doesn’t quite have overpowering stuff to enter that elite conversation. Hudson is the most interesting for me. He should be a definite top 5 prospect in the system.
Confirmed on Hicks:
CHIEFS will skip All-Star RHP Jordan Hicks turn tomorrow at Cedar Rapids. All is well. Just yearly strategy to manage IP for younger arms
