I believe the AFL is for AA or higher players with waivers for one lower (A+) level player for each team. We sent Carson Smith last fall as our waiver guy. I expect Deeej will play in AA by the end of the season to qualify him for the AFL, while our waiver guy will be a pitcher again. I also expect Kivlehan will get a late promote to AA for the same reason. If Hultzen is healthy by then, I expect he will go to Peoria, also, to get innings on his arm. Prediction: Hultzen, Leone, Taylor, Peterson, Kivlehan, Hicks, with Pike or Landazuri as the waiver pitcher to give them a few innings against premium hitters. Morban, Guerrero, Sanchez, Pimentel, Marte, et al, will play in the winter leagues in Venezuela or the Dominican, as appropriate. Should be a busy Fall and Winter for Ms prospects.
