The big, big deal for WDBB is that Mikie Mahtook will be playing with the Mud Hens. Mikie came to the Bulls back in 2014 and played some terrific ball for the Bulls. He went back and forth with the Rays until going off to the Detroit Tigers for the 2017 season, when he had a good year. He appears to be caught in some roster turmoil, is off to a slow start, and had options left. I'm skeptical. I always like watching him play, so I hope my MiLB connection is working over the next couple of days.
Matchup
The Mud Hens are off to a good start. Most notable is their defense. They've only given up 2 unearned runs this year (the Bulls have given up 6).
I notice that former Bull and Rays prospect Taylor Guerrieri is on the roster for the Buffalo Bisons. Apparently, Toronto picked him off waivers in November. He has pitched once, in relief. I guess I'll stop waiting for him to show up and help the Bulls.
ReplyDeleteI missed that as well. You're right.
