Diamond Deacs 2019 (Offseason) | 5 Deacs Drafted

Former Diamond Deac Mac Williamson likely heading to play in Korea. Williamson tore up AAA, but struggles in brief stints with the Giants and Mariners: https://twitter.com/sung_minkim/status/1153655328157794304

Stuart Fairchild has been promoted to AA for the Reds as has Gavin Sheets for the White Sox. Here is a link to week old summary of WF baseball players in the pro's: https://godeacs.com/news/2019/7/18/baseball-deacs-in-the-pros-july-18.asp

Will Craig has hit 19HRs in AAA and was invited to the MLB Futures Game, but he has a major problem: Josh Bell is in front of him at 1B for the Pirates.
 
Link above needs fixing...took me to a 404 page with a Trending Story from 2007 of Mike Muse being named an assistant for Dino...

Gavin Sheets has been at Double A Birmingham all year for White Sox....assume it won’t be long before he is in Charlotte.
 
Diamond Deac Danny Borrell (two-way pitcher/player for WF's ACC title teams in the late 1990s) just took the pitching coach job at Georgia Tech. After getting drafted by the Yankees and playing minor league ball for NYY, Borrell had worked his way up the Yankee's organizational ladder to be the Yankees' "pitching coordinator". According to the NY Post, Borrell's deal with GT is worth $1.5 million (for five years), which has to be a record in duration and value for an NCAA non-head baseball coaching position.

Parker Dunshee had the best AAA start of his career last night, going 6 innings and yielding just one hit and one unearned run

the bullpen blew the lead although the team did win

this comes after he skipped a turn in the starting rotation and actually picked up a 3-inning save his last time out
