Zoilo Almonte got a nice little write-up in Kevin Goldstein’s Minor League Update today. You don’t need a subscription to see this one, so check it out. Meanwhile, both Michael Recchia and Shane Brown have been promoted from Short Season Staten Island to Low-A Charleston. Kyle Higashioka was placed on the DL while Steve Evarts was banished to parts unknown. The transactions say Extended Spring Training, but that should have ended weeks ago, before the short season leagues start up.
Here’s a video of Jesus Montero’s two-run single from yesterday. As you can see, it’s a single in name only. Stupid power the other way. Watch the side view halfway through the video, he just flicked his wrists.
