Soto was called up to help the Dragons offset the loss of Brandon Waring, who has been nursing a sprained thumb since last Saturday. Soto was second in the Pioneer League in hitting with a .388 average, and he led the team in RBIs (11) and was tied for the team high in home runs with four.
"We're going to miss him," Garcia said. "It's good for him, it's good for his career and he's really deserved it. The way he goes about his business and the way he works, it couldn't happen to a nicer person."

I would think that this should be his 1st major challenge, I fully expect him to struggle a bit early on. But then I would expect him to pull a Valaika and start beating it up. Should be interesting and here's to hoping i'm right.
On the flipside Brett Bartles should be able to man 3B quite well for Billings.
