Aladin Reyes should consider himself lucky he didn’t go to school in the US. Could you imagine all the genie jokes?!?
Any chance the AAA or AA all-star games are on TV anywhere?
Where did Kelvin Lopez come from, was he undrafted??
I don’t understand it at all, Michael Martinez (5’9″, 145 lbs. and 9 HRs in almost 1500 career ABs) was replaced in the AA Home Run Derby!!
The injustice of it all!
I believe the AAA All-Star game will be on MLB Network.
Kelvin Lopez was an undrafted FA signed out of Puerto Rico last year. Didn’t do too well last year in the GCL, 8.04 ERA in 15.7 IP.
Guess he’s the only non-rehabbing starter on the roster!
If Harper happened to sign this week, where would he be assigned? And the others, Solis, Cole et al?
@Steve – After I picked myself up off the floor ;)
Harper => GCL
Solis => GCL to get rust off and then Hagerstown
Cole => GCL
Grace => GCL to get rust off and then Vermont
Any of the others, GCL (HS/JuCo guys) or Vermont (college guys)
