Nice job, DK. Thanks.

Matt Klinker has made an interesting ascent this season. He started somewhat poorly at Sarasota, put together a hot streak in Carolina and now throws a lights-out game in AAA. My guess is they moved him up to determine whether they want to protect him in the Rule V draft. He's making a case.

I was at that Bats game last night. I came in with not much confidence in Klinker. What a pleasant surprise to see that gem he threw.

He didn't get in the game but Ondrusek was warming right in front of me. It is kinda stupid to say knowing he's 6'7" but DAMN, that guy is tall.

It was nice to see good Viola for a change.

Thanks, DK. Great summary.
