What I like:
-That is a nasty 3-5 spot in the order with some big time bats
-Carroll being the main starter
-Donnie Scott managing

What I don't like:
-Frazier not in High A
-No Mesoraco
-No Lotzkar
-No Ravin
-No Soto
-No real outfield plan it seems

Interesting, very interesting. And, not in a good way.

What exactly does this mean for Mesoraco, Lotzkar, and Ravin?

Extended spring training and then back to short season Billings? I understand they're young, but I don't see low A as being a problem for Mesoraco and Lotzkar and probably not Ravin.

[The Duke]

I think the elevated competition for young guys is a good thing, and i would rather they spend a season and a half in Dayton then rot in extended spring training and not face any real competition untul July when Billings starts.

[The Duke]

I wonder if Fraier tears up Low A if they will have him skip High A and promote him to AA Chattanooga? With the Reds likely to pull out of Sarasota I could see them putting less emphasis on High A until they have a new High A home, and put their best resources in Low A and AA for instruction.

Frazier
Waring
McKennon

That will be a fun lineup to watch in the mddle of that order.
