Pennington has started the year 1-3 with two walks.
Alex Wilson off to a rough start after giving up a 3 run HR and taking a L in his only appearance

Mengden has started one game and pitched 5.2 innings giving up 5ER and striking out 5.

Quick minor league updates:

Tyler Ivey - promoted to A - Quad City River Bandits
Corbin Martin - promoted to A+ - Buies Creek Astros
John Stilson - signed with the Pirates - starting in AAA - Indianapolis Indians
Jason Jester - demoted to AA - San Antonio Missions
Grayson Long - promoted to AAA - Toledo Mud Hens
Matt Kent - promoted to AA - Portland Sea Dogs
Ronnie Gideon - promoted to A+ - Carolina Mudcats

Andrew Vinson - shows as on the restricted list which may mean he has decided to not pursue a baseball career any further

I have not seen any updates for Troy Stein and Hunter Melton since 2016. Both play in the Rockies organization, so I think it's an issue with their system. Both still show as active but have not had any transactions or stats since the end of 2016.

What about Juengel? MiLB website says he's on NO baby cakes, but he's not on their opening day roster.

The 27-year-old will now look for a minor-league deal elsewhere as he attempts to make his way to the majors for the first time in his career.

In general many minor league teams will be behind on fully updated rosters as things are still being sorted out. Could be in some sort of extended spring training.

I went to the game last night did not see matt

The last transaction on his MiLB page says he was assigned to the Marlins on March 17, nothing after that

Naquin recalled to Indians.

Some other updates:

Pennington is 2-6 this year with three walks for an OBP of .556.
Minter has now pitched 4 scoreless innings this year for the Braves.
Stripling has pitched 6.2 innings of scoreless ball with a sub 1 WHIP.
Mengden is off to a rough start, 0-2 with a 6.55 ERA.
Wacha got the win in his last start but overall has a 5.59 ERA. Up to 46 career wins.
Wilson has pitched 7.2 innings with a 4.70 ERA.

I loved watching Stilson here at TAMU. I hope he gets picked up and gets to play more.

Corbin Martin had his first start in High A for the Astros.

Minter pitched an inning today vs the Nats and struck out all three batters he faced. If he keeps it up there is a decent chance he will start getting the closer work pretty soon.

Might want to identify yourself more and what you are looking for.

In reply to Tex100 There was an earlier discussion thread about my status with the Miami Marlins. Shrugs17 is Matt Juengel and I am looking for a sales position.

Matt enjoyed watching you at Olsen and hope you find a job in sales in Austin. Wishing you the best in your future

I have retired from baseball and am presently looking for a job in the Austin area. If anyone has any good leads on a position please let me know. Thank you to all the Aggies that have supported me in the past.

Best of luck In the job search Matt! We wore our Aggie gear to the game... got lots of crap from the LSU faithful but it was a good time. Make sure to go to the job forum on here and make a post! The Aggie network is strong!

not Austin proper but puffer Sweiven in San Antonio was looking for an inside sales person.

In reply to shrugs17 I thought that was you. Also wanted to say I enjoyed your play at Olsen.

Sent an email to an Ag I know in Austin.

Minter got his first save today vs Penningtons Reds!

Gave Daniel a gig 'em before the game tonight.

Unfortunately he didn't do too well.

Stripling getting a spot start tonight for Dodgers. He had had a very good year in the bullpen with a .63 ERA. 16Ks in 14.1 IP.

I'm going to the Arkansas Travelers at Tulsa Drillers game tonight. I don't think there are any Aggies on either roster...do y'all know of any that I might be missing?

TIA...

Corbin had a rough start with Corpus Christi Hooks last night. 5 hits, 6 runs in 1/3 inning of work

Mengden article

Question: Is there any Web site that would give info on such things as what percent of players drafted in each round actually play at least one season in the majors?

Good day for Aggie pitchers in MLB yesterday. Minter got a win, and Stripling and Wacha both had solid games.

Naquin on the 10 day DL with a strained hammy

Logan Taylor has been promoted to AA Arkansas Travelers (Seattle) from High A Modesto Nuts.

JB Moss released by the short season Boise Hawks on 6/15, opening day. Seems odd as he was on the media pdf roster released on 6/13.
