Hes a pen guy. Get him out of the rotation already and let him grow much quicker through system. All he needs is his fastball and curve (or slider, whichever it is). Change his routine and mind set He's 20 years old. Way too soon to bail on him. The Brewers don't have unlimited amounts of quality players. He can't locate his fastball at the moment so whether he has 2 pitches or 20 is irrelevant. Kodi is walking 6.2 batters per game. Just as a reminder, Randy Johnson was walking 7.1/game at age 22.

According to the Blue Jays' announcer, Medeiros is now throwing his fastball in the mid-80's with curveball in the 70's. This is really not working at all. Maybe it's time to pull the plug and go back to square one. He can't throw his fastball for strikes even dropping his speed by 10 mph.

Ticker seems to be out again. Shuckers won game 2 3-1. Woodruff went the first 6.

The internet is down in Jacksonville. That's why the Minor League ticker is not updating that game. Shuckers lead 3-1 after 4 and Woodruff is the pitcher in game 2.

Brandon Woodruff's scoreless streak is over. He doesn't really seem to have the electric stuff he's had the last month today.

This year Villar is: .298/.380/.433 MLB career: .260/.333/.385 Minors: .261/.337/.386 It depends on whether you believe this year's improvement is real. Personally, I'm skeptical he can continue this rate long term. But he seems to be a darling of DS. Maybe Arcia will be the one dealt?
