How real is Maryvale's position player shorthandedness? Very.

On Monday, their only available bench player was C/1B Eric Martinez, who had just made his way down from Nashville, where he essentially served as the bullpen catcher.

Outfielder Kenny Fenelon was listed as available, but last played on Tuesday the 16th, a game he left early. The other listed player was Alexander Frias, on his way to Wilson.

AAA Nashville host Braves’ affiliate Gwinnett, with LHP Thomas Pannone (3.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 45 IP) getting tonight’s start. 3B Luke Adams is 5-for-7 with 3 HR, 4 BB, 6 RBIs in his last 2 games.

AA Biloxi play at Rays’ affiliate Montgomery this week, with RHP Tanner Gillis (3.94 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 in 48 IP) making his 7th start (14th appearance). 3B Andrew Fischer has 21 homers in his last 43 games.

High-A Wisconsin host Twins’ affiliate Cedar Rapids this week, with RHP Braylon Owens (4.19 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 11.4 K/9 in 53.2 IP) getting the series’ first start. 1B Eric Bitonti is 7-for-11 with 6 RBIs in his last 2 games.

It’s a Low-A debut for 18-year old DH/OF Alexander Frias (1.196 OPS in 137 ACL PAs), as Wilson play at Nationals’ affiliate Fredericksburg. RHP Jarrette Bonet had a solid outing last week (5 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks).

Frias' first Single A at bat was a bases loaded RBI fielder's choice. He promptly stole 2nd.

As I'm typing this Ebel just hit one out. 2-2 on the day for him. His arrow is pointing up.... 

We have so many good shortstops in the system it's hysterical.
