I have also noticed that. The lack of participation from others has gone down the crapper. I am excited for tomorrow's game thread when maybe Kyle Lotzkar making his debut on the season will draw some interaction and hopefully some excitement from the minor league followers.
If I didn't have a game myself I would be here to watch. I was really high on Lotzkar coming in and am excited to see him. Maybe he will dominate and force the Reds hand to keep him there like Mez this year and Bruce last year in AAA, but I am sure no matter how well he does he will be back down in Billings on the 19th to start the season. Doug, any word on how he has looked in Extended ST?

I haven't heard much on him from EST since in April, which doesn't tell us a whole lot. It will be interesting to see what they do with Lotzkar regardless of how he does. I think he could succeed in Dayton if they choose to keep him there. No offense to the current Dragons starters, but they aren't exactly getting the job done right now. Matt Klinker is the only starter on the staff with an ERA under 5 (and he is sitting pretty with a 3.14 ERA) while the rest of the starters are at 5.02, 5.32, 6.20 and 8.76.

Doug, where did you hear that Lotzkar was starting for Dayton tonight?
Really hope that Lotzkar does well...
He is in line behind Thompson, Maloney, and Wood...He might actually have more potential than them...
