I had no idea that Solbach had made it to Triple-A. He's getting knocked around a bit but hopefully he finds his rhythm.

[Chris Lang]

List should grow once the short-season clubs start play. Probably won't update it again until the first week of July once all the new guys get settled in.

[Flamepop]

According to Cordell's interview Negli is still playing in the Ranger Organization.

[BJWilliams]

From the looks of it he is still with the Rookie league squad in AZ (no more than two years prior minor league experience according to their league page)

[jlread]

Could all these suspensions increase the play time for Liberty kids in the MLB?

[BJWilliams]

Not really...the only guy with a chance to make the show is Solbach at this point and he probably wont get the call because nobody from the Rockies was suspended

[Sly Fox]

I believe Teufel just was promoted to Port St. Lucie by the Mets

[BJWilliams]

Solbach got sent back to AA after a rough go of things with the SkySox
