Que se dillio:
Pedro was supposed to throw 45 pitches in an intra-squad in PSL this morning. Capuano was not scheduled to appear in this series, but after Dave Bush came in as a reliever on Tuesday Ned Yost didn't have much of a choice. I'm actually excited to see Lawrence up here. I've always been impressed with his walk rate, and his K/BB this year in New Orleans is gaudy. He has historically been a groundball pitcher, though that hasn't been the case in Triple-A. Still, he has kept the ball in the park, which limits the worst case scenario of any flyball.
