And so, the Cam Devanney fan club can breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes!

Won’t be surprised at all to see Cam called-up to MKE at some point next season.

Not sure what you mean by "keeping." I'd put his chance at making the ML roster would be less that that, but there's the chance they could work out a deal for him (not sure how that works, but that it can).

 

Yeah, I'm agreeing that the odds of Varland making the ML roster are low. If by March 2023 we're not thrilled with him, we'd most likely DFA him, he'd go unclaimed and return to the Dodgers' minor league system like nothing ever happened. We selected Colin Walsh and Zack Jones in 2015. Walsh hit .085 through 47 ABs and was returned to the A's in June 2016, while Jones got injured, never appeared in a ML game, and was returned to Twins, also in June 2016.

they've got a few INF in NASH that could get called up; Devanney might be the only one with more upside than a AAAA guy.

Absolutely.

Untapped potential still there with this guy. I’ll be following his season with Nashville quite closely.

We're spirited, rejoicing, and generally drunk and merry at Devanney Stans Anonymous tonight, baby! Let's Go Sounds!

As far as Varner goes, here's a more in depth set of comments (Baseball America) regarding his success in his move to the bullpen:

It was hard to turn away from that gif, but I kept thinking he really ought to be wearing a jock if he was jogging.

Phillies picked 7 guys in the minor league portion, and lost 5. I'm guessing they kept picking to try to replace some of the guys they lost.

At first glance, you'd expect Collins to repeat AA (.221 / .337 / .347 slash last year), but the presence of Tyler Black and Felix Valerio will likely limit his opportunities at second base in Biloxi. So I wouldn't be surprised if's he's more of a AA/AAA rover, like Andruw Monasterio last year, in Collins' case filling OF/2B needs where they happen to arise. At least his 30 stolen bases in 2022 suggests that his .278 BABIP was lower than it'll usually be.
