Doug is informing us that Chase Petty is behind due to forearm issues. No bueno, that. Proof the Reds can't have nice things, I suppose.
Tyler Callihan seems to be the talk of minor league camp-- he's hitting the ball hard and consistently. Carlos Jorge and Edwin Arroyo have also been praised in tweets.
Braylin Minier, a former big-time international free agent, has been released at age 19. That makes it easier to determine who's playing in Daytona, but only a little bit. They'll apparently end up with two or three SS playing across the infield at the same time. That might affect the pitching numbers for Tortuga pitchers.
James Marinan was also released. He found some success for about six weeks a couple of seasons ago, then took a giant step backward again. He would have been a part of a pretty large group of A+/ AA pitchers. Similar to Minier, his release makes figuring out slots a bit easier, but definitely not opaque.
Both Cam Collier and Sal Stewart are expected to start in Daytona this season.
Bryce Bonnin, Hector Rodriguez, and Andrew Moore are all on the shelf for at least half the season.
