DotF: Sheffield labors, Wade homers in AAA doubleheader

RHP Nick Green has been promoted to Double-A Trenton, the team announced. He had a 3.28 ERA (4.18 FIP) with 18.3% strikeouts, 11.2% walks, and a minor league best 65.7% ground ball rate in 115.1 innings with High-A Tampa. Green is my No. 19 prospect.
