It was in the minor league update thread but:

Klinker moved back down to Carolina

[GOYA]

In a move that will possibly have an effect on the Bats, Cleveland called up Carlos Santana from IL West Division leading Columbus.

I didn't see this, but Klinker took the spot of Alexander Smit who retired from baseball

That's starting a bit high. Have we had other guys who started at Advanced A in the past. I'm trying to recall.

Agreed. Now aren't they converting Greene to an OF? Shouldn't Garton got the call up and placed Greene in Dayton to start out. I didn't think his bat was that advanced?

Alonso did.

I'm not really understanding why he is starting higher than LaMarre? The only thing I can think of is age. He's older than LaMarre.

LaMarre missed some time this year with an injury, too.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the placement, it just surprised me. Someone noted recently that the club seems to be moving some guys faster though, so maybe that's part of it.
