Lefthanded reliever Andrew Faulkner and catcher Pat Cantwell have been promoted to AAA Round Rock from AA Frisco
Lefthanded pitcher Andrew Faulkner and catcher Pat Cantwell have been promoted to AAA Round Rock, as part of a series of promotions and moves the Rangers have made in their farm system.
Faulkner, a 22 year old lefthander, has spent the entire year at Frisco, and has blossomed since being moved into a relief role. In 17.2 IP in relief, Faulkner has a 2.04 ERA, with 22 Ks against 9 walks and just 9 hits. Since Faulkner is Rule 5 eligible after the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rangers bring him up in September and get a look at him out of the pen.
