Congrats to Jordan. Nice Thanksgiving present. His mom said he got the call this morning.

3-way race amongst former Owl aces to see who gets to the majors first in 2019-- Jordan Stephens, Jon Duplantier or John Simms. All 3 are likely to make their debuts next year, joining Cingrani, Chargois and Duffy on major league rosters. Fly Owls, fly!

My bets on Big Jon, who is currently killing it in the Arizona League. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Jon, currently the top ranked prospect in the Diamondbacks' farm system, makes their' opening day roster.

Simms got released so wouldn’t bet on him.

Forgetting a rather prominent name ... Anthony Rendon! (unless you are talking just pitchers)

Of course I was limiting my comment to pitchers. Rendon and Holt are our two position players in the majors.

“Ace” was another contextual word that indicates we’re talking pitchers....

... or poker players...

...or both. #WadeTownsend
