Bad news for Anthony Slama. He took a comebacker off the leg last week. I wasn't sure how serious it was until tonight when LEN3 reported that he has a broken bone in his leg and he will miss 4-6 weeks.

Couple announcements about the Etwins roster. Supp picks from last year Travis Harrison and Hudson Boyd will both play in Elizabethton.

Hey Ewen, plan a road trip. Oswaldo Arcia has just been promoted.

GCL Twins begin play in about 20 minutes. Starting for the Twins will be Kuo Hua Lo. He was signed out of Taiwan a little over a year ago. This will be his pro debut. I wouldn't be surprised if Buxton leads off.

Edit: Buxton not even in the starting lineup. hmmm.......

Jim Rantz says it will probably be a few days before Buxton plays.

Hudson Boyd is scheduled to start for the Etwins tomorrow.

Hudson Boyd apparently weighs like 280.

Lol, apparently the GCL Twins have 1 First basemen, two second basemen and five short stops. They also have a lack of 3Basemen...

I see that Valencia hasn't turned it around and Nishioka is as lost as ever.

Nishioka is probably counting the days until the season is over and he can go back home.
