Jeremy Affeldt has had a change of heart about gay people. Jesus Montero got sent to the PCL and Ike Davis may soon join him. The White Sox always manage to stay healthy and Terry Francona is welcomed back to Boston. Also, Beer.

Great starting pitching in the upper minors today. Not nearly as good was the starting pitching in A ball, although Kane County did get some excellent relief pitching. Just not excellent enough.

Albert Almora made a successful season debut in Kane County with three hits. The rest of the team didn't match his performance. Daytona won their sixth game out of seven but Iowa fell to Las Vegas.

Alex Sanabia has a little something extra in his repertoire these days. The Don Mattingly Watch continues. A Phillies broadcaster sabotaged Aroldis Chapman. The Twins finally have a strikeout pitcher. The city of Montreal remembers one of its greats.

Iowa swept a double-header thanks to Brian Bogusevic. Tennessee loses in extras and Daytona wins in extras.

Albert Almora has finished his rehab and will start the season in Kane County. The Smokies split a double-header and the D-Cubs and Cougars have disappointing losses.

The Don Mattingly watch continues, while two top prospects are making their season debuts this week. The Rays are thriving, while the Giants starters are struggling. The Mariners are just slow.

Sometimes you win (Iowa, Daytona) and sometimes you lose (Kane County). And sometimes, it rains. (Tennessee)

Iowa lost, but the rest of the system was victorious tonight. Big games by big prospects as well.

Daytona played 19 innings between two games, but it was worth it as they ended up with a double-header sweep. The Smokies are smoking at the moment.
