I'm here in STL. Looking like a rain delay type of a day, maybe cancelled all together. Talk about a bummer too as my high school team I coach were supposed to play a game after the Brewers/Cards but they've already informed us that we won't be.
Not to continue to throw things on Ed but he has not changed in the however many years he's been here. Hey, maybe he's a great coach at whatever else it is he does but 3rd base is not where he belongs. Why was he moved from 1B to 3B again?
I believe if a starter is hurt or traded we'll see Peralta, Burgos, or Suter. I think Suter is definitely a worthy candidate of a call up. He would intrigue me the most of the guys you listed to give a shot to. So hard to look at guys numbers pitching in Colorado Springs but I would like to see another lefty come on up and add to this rotation.
Presley can go but I don't see why we would bring up Wren who is basically a left fielder. He's not going to play over Braun. And Reed isn't a CF either and he's had a lousy AAA season.
I coached up in Superior for many years, I know your pain. The realistic approach is to start later in the spring and end in the summer. That way the weather has turned for the better and games aren't all piled up. I'm coaching in Iowa now. We have summer high school ball. We play 40 games (max). We start end of May and finish at the end of July depending how your playoff run goes.
Have to develop more pitchers. Too often high school coaches find their good arms and take the time to only develop those pitchers. This rule will hopefully help change that. While you might've only had a couple of arm injuries while they were in high school, having high pitch counts can affect a player after their time in high school. Coaches have got away with murder for too long. It's good that there's finally a set of rules in place to stop those idiot coaches (not calling you one) that only worry about their win/loss record as a coach.
