Lorenzo Cain promoted to AAA

The poster, if you're curious, is Cain's agent.

I have to say, this is very surprising. Cain needed to be promoted and was blocked by Cole Gillespie and Matt LaPorta at AA, but both of those players are older than Cain, and I expected one of them to get the bump to Nashville. Obviously the team values keeping the winning core together down in Huntsville.

You can find Cain's current and career stats, as well as his current splits, on the Prospects sidebar on the right-hand side of the page.

Word on the street is that he’ll be flipped down to AA after their pennant race is over. Curious to see if it’s LaPorta who gets the call then. (Mass Haas at Brewerfan.net)

0-5 with 3 K's in his debut

He's extremely quick and good.

Outfielder Lorenzo Cain’s stay at Triple-A Nashville will be a short one, according to assistant Brewers general manager Gord Ash. Cain, rated Milwaukee’s ninth-best prospect entering the season, was promoted from Class A Brevard County to Nashville this week when Mel Stocker left the team for the birth of a child. Stocker was given four days off, and when he returns, Cain will be sent back down.
To AA or A+, I do not know.

The real question

Can Stocker run back to the team faster than a plane could carry him?
