DSL Twins at Rockies. Postponed.
These are some amazingly detailed predictions! 🙂
I knew I'd do that sometime--I'm actually surprised it took this long. The date has now been fixed. Thanks.
Arcia got hurt in Beloit, after hitting .352/.420/.704 in 20 games.
He missed all of May and almost all of June, having two days rehabbing with the GCL Twins (4-8 with a Double and a Triple), and is now hitting .300/.344/.500 in Ft. Myers.
Does anyone know where to find reliable Minor-league adjustment factors? Like I know the International League favors pitching while the Pacific favors batting, but what about the lower leagues?
Yeah, I thought my icon was still out injured until I noticed JeffA's updates the last few days. Seems her returned a little sooner than the expected two months. Glad to see him pick up right where he left off.
