Good to see Jorgenson hitting well.

 

This Resop kid is our 29th best prospect according to Baseball America and is putting up pretty good numbers at Greensboro. We'll have to keep an eye on him.

Yeah, they didn't have much to go on though being that he didn't get much pitching in last year. He made the right decision in converting from an outfielder back to a pitcher though.

 

BTW, I'm going to the Bats game on Wednesday so I will come back and report what I saw.

Rookie league ball starts this week.

 

The Appalachian league is so exciting. I hope the Marlins can steal the Pulaski or Princeton franchise soon.

Double-A Carolina first baseman Jason Stokes left the game in the fourth inning after injuring his left wrist on a two-run double in the third inning. There was no immediate information on the extent of the injury. Stokes is hitting .272-16-59 in 228 at-bats for the Mudcats this season.

He didn't play in today's game.

 

1B Jason Stokes did not play Monday due to an injured left wrist and will be reevaluated by a doctor on Tuesday morning. Stokes felt pain in the wrist after doubling in the third inning of Sunday's victory. Magness started at first base...

Is it the same Wrist that was injured from the past season or 2?

Yep
