Bear Claw & Rio are the only 2 Worcester starters other than Walter who haven't been sent to the Dev List, so one would assume they're starting the last 2 games.

Rio last started last Saturday & Bear Claw started Tuesday, so I assume Rio Saturday, Bear Claw Sunday?

Just in case I don't get a chance on Sunday (I am going to try to get out to Game 1 of the AA Central Championships), thank you JM3 for an awesome damn season in the Minor League forums. This place is way better than anywhere else on the internet because of people like you. I hope that I can find time starting this winter to help contribute more than I do right now.

Thx for the kind words! It's been a lot of fun. I'm not going to disappear just because the game threads are going on hiatus, though.

I just hope it's not too painful of an off season for my people lol

Now sure if this has been posted.

Law scouted Portland for a game. Quick summary. Loves, loves, loves Anthony’s swing. On his podcast said “oh my god, that is perfect”. He said Wikelman has a plus fastball but didn’t repeat his delivery very well and thinks command issues could keep him from being a starter. He thinks Yorke is a little in between and trying to lift the ball too much. He believes Yorke is a major leaguer. Scouting on Jordan wasn’t very positive. First baseman only and is not sure he has the bat speed to make it there.

Some Tweets about it were touched on briefly. I don't have an Athletic sub (who has time to do all that reading), though, so didn't post the actual article.

Control is definitely a concern for Wikelman...6 bb/9 in A+ this year & 5.21 in AA.

He's had exactly 1 start without a walk all season, on May 27th.

Rosier played his A-Ball in Modesto & was assigned to Greenville after being acquired in the Jay Groome trade.

Zach Penrod was signed in August & assigned to Greenville.

MiLB page saying Rio starting tomorrow. Probably a good bye party? He's a free agent after the season.
