That was his second appearance in Springfield after being promoted, and it was good to see since he was hit hard in his first appearance. Joe Mather was 1 for 3. Colby Rasmus was 1 for 2. Box Log

Palm Beach lost 3-5 to Dunedin. It was supposed to be Adam Daniels’ start, but for some reason it was a bullpen start instead. I’m not sure why. Mark Hamilton went 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. Box Log

Eddie Degerman gave up 1 run over 4 innings with 8 strikeouts.

Only 1 bb as well.

He is 24. What is the plan with him? He isn't starting right now.

The Quad Cities team is currently using a piggyback system in which 2 starting pitchers each pitch 3 to 5 innings every 4 days. Currently the eight starters are:

Brandon Dickson and Blake King
Elvis Hernandez and P.J. Walters
Brad Furnish and Tyler Herron
Eddie Degerman and Shaun Garceau

This was supposed to be a temporary thing to allow them the sort out who should be starting and who should be relieving, but so far they've all done pretty well.

Good group here. You just hope one of them makes it to St. Louis. I really like Furnish's chances. He has great stuff and you get even more excited about him being a south paw...

This system they have running is also very good for protcting their arms.
