Maybe I missed it, but what is the story with Jhailyn Ortiz? 13 BB/14K in 70 ABs? Is this a fluke, or miraculously figured something out?

Jake Cave with a day. 6-8, BB, SB, 2B, HR. He sure can hit AAA pitching.

Latest week in review here. The complex level teams are all winning in their preseason games. That is probably a good thing (though we have more older players in the DSL because of the roster rules - which the entire industry is following of course).

Muzziotti is having a terrific year. At 24 and just about 1500 minor league at bats, he's ready, and I have to believe he'd help some team, even if the Phils don't see him as an OF upgrade.

I think he should be up in place of Guthrie, but I guess because he hits LH, he isn't up for the same reason as Cave, so you are right, maybe they can move him for something.

Once they get Harper in the field they could give him a look, just a question of when (and where). Guthrie's spot is still basically Pache's spot (since he can't be optioned once he's healthy again). We'll see what they really plan to do with Hall (and in the meantime Clemens isn't looking so bad). But you gotta open up that DH spot for Schwarber and Castellanos if you want to try having Marsh and Muzziotti in the same OF.

Certainly it is an area of tradeable depth. I wouldn't view Rojas as untouchable either.
