The minor league season gets under way tonight with four Blue Jay affiliates in action. With the parent club en route to the west coast tonight the minors can get our full attention.
Zach Stewart starts in AA tonight and Gregor Chisholm got the story on why Stewart is in AA:
"We talked about that at length," Anthopoulos said. "We figured with a guy like Zach it won't be the worst thing in the world to continue to work on certain things, because we know it's a tough environment in Las Vegas."
Starting pitchers are:
Las Vegas - Brad Mills
New Hampshire - Zach Stewart
Dunedin - Brandon Morrow
Lansing - Casey Lawrence
Deck McGuire tweeted yesterday that he will be pitching today so expect to see him after Morrow. Morrow is due to throw 50-55 pitches, or 4-5 innings.
Let the games begin!
