Griffin Herring is shoving in Low A. But he's supposed to. Griffin and Ty Floyd should probably be promoted soon. Floyd's situation is a little different as they're working him back from injury. They're currently facing a bunch of international free agents playing their first or second season in the states, or high school draft picks from last year. They're more developed and more polished than the guys they're facing and will need to be challenged soon to continue to develop.

As said yesterday, Thatcher Hurd is out for the season. Luke Holman and Bryce Collins are also on the IL, but I don't know when they're expected to return. Daniel Cabrera is on the minor league restricted list, not sure of his status for this season.
