Where’s Victor Black? Injured again?

Little bit surprised that they didn’t push a guy like Tyler Waldron, unless they are holding him back in Extended ST for a bit to conserve innings.

Waldron is on West Virginia’s roster. My opinion is that once Taillon is ready to join WV out of EST (maybe the start of May), either Waldron and/or Cumpton will get bumped up to Bradenton.

That Joe Beimel kid is one to keep an eye on.
Not the most exciting roster…

Strange, Evan Chambers looks a lot like John Bowker.
