Minor League update: 5/22

Haven't done one of these in a while, so let's check in on the farm clubs. Indianapolis Andrew McCutchen broke out of his slump nicely and is sitting at .284/.350/.466. It's not quite the "domination" that some wanted to see, but his increase in extra base hits make for an improvement over his line with Indy last year. (.283/.372/.398). Hard to complain about that. Steve Pearce has also woken up in a big way after his slow start and is now hitting .271/.373/.451 with six homers. Not much to write home about in their rotation, but Virgil Vasquez could make decent rotation filler and Dan McCutchen is off to a decent start. Both are allowing a lot of homers (10 for Vasquez, six for McCutchen), and that might not be a great sign if either is called up this year. Altoona Brad Lincoln threw a complete-game two-hit shutout last night and looks really good in general. His ERA is down to 2.31, his WHIP is 1.05, and he's struck out 40 hitters with only 11 walks in 46...
