Chad Jennings says Jeff Karstens will make the start for Triple-A Scranton tomorrow. Karstens is the model AAAA pitcher; he destroys minor leaguers (3.48 minor league ERA) but get’s destroyed by big leaguers (80 career ERA+). If nothing else, at least he’s another option.
In completed unrelated news, Mike A. prospect crush Hall of Famer Michael Aubrey was recently called up by the Indians and picked up his first career hit today when he took Edison Volquez deep. Congrats on first career knock and jack Mikey, hope the back’s doing well.

Double-A Trenton‘s game with New Hampshire was suspended after the third inning due to rain. New Hampshire visits Trenton again in a week-and-a-half, and I suspect they’ll finish the game then. I’ll update the stats when the game is complete, but for now all you need to know is that Dan McCutchen struck out 6 in his 3 innings of work. I’m impressed he did that all the way from Scranton, aren’t you George King?
