and so it begins

The migration of the BlueClaws heading south to Clearwater has begun. Jon Velazquez has been promoted to the Threshers. Jon, who was signed out of a tryout camp this past March, has been excellent for Lakewood, going 9-2 over the first half and will join the Threshers immediately. Also promoted were Santo "lights out" Hernandez, who I have been raving about for weeks now, and Steve Susdorf, who is just too good for the South Atlantic League. With the release of Ryan Ariail, that leaves some open spot on Lakewood's roster, which will have to be filled by the time we resume play Thursday.

My sense is that Tyler Cloyd will not return to Lakewood after attending the "All-Star Jubilee" in Charleston, West Virginia this week. Cloyd is among the 6 BlueClaws going to the festivities, joining Travis D'Arnaud, Anthony Gose, Harold Garcia, Justin De Fratus and B.J. Rosenberg.



I will be reporting from Charleston for the next couple of days.
