The Big O is up

One of my favorite players has finally made it to AA, where he should have been since the start of the season IMO. Renny Osuna has arrived. He will play SS for Frisco hopefully marking the end of Lemon's days as a shortstop in the system (and his 40-error paced seasons).

In addition, Carlos Dominguez has been reassigned from extended to the Blaze. I imagine that he was kept in extended to give his surgically repaired shoulder some added rest. His playing time last year was severly limited by this constraint as well I imagine (he played about 1x/week). One has to wonder if he is nothing more than an Org guy due to these limitations. Considering that he is the _third_ catcher on the roster at present, that seems likely.

Finally, Adam Fox has been promoted to AAA for some reason. They already have like 10 MIF so this might be a temp. thing unless there is an injury. With Hunter (and presumably Mathis as well, on the double-header taxi squad) up in Arlington today, he could be an emergency bullpen arm - stranger things have happened.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Wieland is activated this weekend for Hickory when his is eligible to come off the DL. Additionally, I would wager that Neil Ramirez will be reassigned to Hickory from extended next Tuesday, given that he has thrown in camp games on last saturday and yesterday in an attempt to get stretched out.
