Erik Miller assigned to rehab at FCL today, so one of the missing top 30s surfaces. I was beginning to worry that he would be added to the TJ surgery list.

Miller start not that encouraging. Only got 2 outs (1 by K). Allowed 2 walks and a hit.

Guessing it was more than the 13 pitches that the box score shows. Our farm system just can't have nice things (like polished college lefties that throw in the mid 90s that move quickly).

Glorious 9-4 win for the FCL Phillies

MLB really needs to start the FCL season in May. It does not need to be 130-140 games long like the full season leagues, but there is also little reason to wait since new draftees are generally not going to play this year. With all the rehab going on these young players could use more playing time. FCL teams play 60 games. Even the short season A leagues used to play 76 and these teams are probably closer to those rosters since any HS draftee will be playing a year later than in the past and DSL players will probably remain in that league for an extra year before they make their FCL debut.

A Jamari Baylor will get 200 AB this season where he could really use 300+.

The radar gun notes are good at least. He hit his pitch count and they pulled him.

One assumes they are just that cheap.

The guys who are playing in the complex leagues are still playing baseball every day prior to the start of the leagues. They may actually get more from non-game-day routines when they are young. I'm not worried about the difference between 300 and 200 game ABs as long as players are getting reps in practice.
