Minor-league housekeeping: 3B Hunter Dozier headed to AAA Omaha; Kyle Zimmer starting for Class A Wilmington today as he builds up innings.

Early farm risers:

Ryan O'Hearn, Matt Strahm, Alec Mills (I still don't see much to get excited with re: Mills, but he keeps producing).

Bonifacio, Dozier among many position players having a nice bounce back year.

Kyle Zimmer threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings in his first start at Wilmington. He had five strikeouts and two walks. He threw 51 pitches.

I wonder if at this point you dont just make him a 1 inning reliever.

That's my thinking.

Strahm looked really good in spring, and TJ appears to have been a boost to him. I think he's a guy to really watch.

He's a lefty with good fastball velocity, control, and a pretty good breaking ball. Always a good combo.

Bartolo Colon homered off of...James Shields lol.

He now has more HR than Jason Heyward

He's athletic enough to consider playing in a corner OF spot for a while... If he continues to mash the ball and shows good OF instincts, could be an option in RF in the second half.
That would be epic.

We still have the longest active streak of not being below .500.

This mental image melted my brain.

He's a good defender at 3B, but if he could handle RF, would give them nice flexibility. If they re-sign Moustakas, Dozier sticks in RF. If they don't, he takes over at 3B.

I don't know who his swing coach was before last year - he was so awful I would blame Jack Maloof/Andre David - but that person should never coach swings again, because he ****ed Dozier up badly.

Dozier is a good defender at 3b, so if he hits at all, he should be a valuable guy.

Also think Jorge Bonifacio might have to be part of a trade package if KC makes a move at the trade deadline. He's hitting now but doesn't have the chops to play RF in the K. He might be able to handle LF, but with Gordon signed long-term, he's pretty much blocked.

So does that make Cuthbert trade bait or maybe a 3rd base plan B if Dozier can play OF and Moose leaves?
