Athletic article said Anderson and Tavaras were both throwing and should be back at LHV at some point in May.

Ex Phillies prospect Willians Astudillo playing against LV tonight for Rochester. Career minor league stats: 2031 AB, 76 walks, 69 strikeouts. I am not sure if that is a positive or negative but it is certainly unusual.

[teabag259]

Cozens with another HR and has his average up to .299.

Enyel De Los Santos dominating again also.

What happened to Romero?

[andyb]

Adjustment to a tougher league at a young age most likely. Remember he is 21 (a couple of months younger than Spencer Howard in Lakewood) and pitching in a hitter's park after only a half season at Clearwater. This was an aggressive promotion for him. He also has good, but not great stuff (number 4/5 starter material). What makes him a good prospect is being able to repeat his delivery consistently but he is not suddenly going to have top of the rotation stuff.

Now this assumes he is healthy. But if he is, it is not exactly a surprise that he hit a little bump in the road.
