The Mississippi Braves’ rotation just got a shot in the arm. Right-hander Arodys Vizcaino, Atlanta’s No. 7 prospect entering this season, has been promoted to the Double-A club from Class A Lynchburg. Vizcaino, a 6-foot, 189-pound Dominican, was 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA and 37 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings at Lynchburg. Entering this season, he had 179 K’s in 172 innings over three pro years. He reportedly throws a mid-90s fastball and an excellent hard curve. The M-Braves’ rotation was already pretty strong; with Vizcaino, the starting five now includes four of Atlanta’s Top 10 prospects. Can’t wait to see him work. The club is back in town Monday. If Vizcaino takes the demoted Matt Crim’s spot, he would pitch Thursday.
