I was right this morning. Today has been an absolutely lousy day.
I've not managed to properly wake up all day, have spent half the day napping, and have royally screwed up my sleep patterns in the process.
I've had absolutely no appetite, and when I have forced myself to eat something, I've felt vaguely nauseous afterwards.
Bad brain day. Seriously bad brain day. It's interpreting everything that anyone says in the worst light possible, and trying to convince myself, on the most threadbare of circumstantial evidence that all my friends are out to get me, and that they're all talking about me behind my back. Plus, I'm feeling about as desirable as a mouldy herring.
I think I might be coming down with a toothache.
On the plus side, this may be the best schadenfreude since Paris Hilton's incarceration.

Minor League Wrap (5/16-22/11)
Jay Yencich · May 24, 2011 at 8:30 am · Filed Under Minor Leagues
I'm back! Things should be resuming their usual schedule from here out. On the plus side, the Generals and the Mavericks both won five games this week! On the negative end of things, the Lumberkings, in spite of all of their personnel changes, still have an awful record, and yet remain fascinating to watch on certain days. Tacoma's in the middle, but Ackley is still amazing, so that's something.
To the jump!
Venezuela Starts Play:
Monday of last week, the Venezuelan Summer League opened up and the Mariners rushed ahead to an early 4-0 lead in the division after Saturday, including a win over a long-time rival in the Pirates, which seems natural in a way. The roster itself is much like last year's, which is good for competition and yet kind of annoying for prospecting. Felipe Burin, Reginald Lampe, and Kenny Hart, who were one (.904), three (.817), and four (.817) in team OPS are still with the team for some [scouting] reason that's basically beyond my understanding, Burin in particular. The #2, Michael Acevedo, was promoted mid-season and I'm guessing that #5 1B/C Ivan Ramirez will turn up in Peoria later. Similarly, highly touted OF Alexy Palma (ranking sixth with a .782 OPS) is also still with the team. At the same time, the team has added one of the big int'l signings of last season in Yordi Calderon and he's already off to a hot start, batting .478/.538/.870 in five games [which is still less than what Burin is doing]. Hart and Lampe are also off to hot starts and Brazilian/Japanese shortstop Pedro Okuda has also been getting his hits in, if nothing else.
The pitching staff lost Vicente Campos and probably Angel Raga, Reynaldo Sabala, and Mayckol Guaipe to the states, but other live arms have remained, like Daniel Mata and Kevin Quintanilla, and they've been joined by a new southpaw who scouted well in Luis Pina. Factor in existing mainstays like Isliexel Gonzalez and Maykel Ynfantes, and it looks like the team could remain competitive throughout the year. Whether it should be that way or not, I don't know, because it seems like it's about time to send some of these guys to the states just to see what happens. On the other hand, we did see a few midseason promotions last year, which means it could still happen. I'm also spending a lot of words on players who may not even make it as far as advanced-A.
And since I usually cover this kind of thing, favorite new hitter name: IF Gianfranco Wawoe of Curacao. Favorite new pitcher name: Neritzon Osorio (followed by Thyago Vieira).
Tacoma Rainiers (3-3 this week, 18-26 overall)
The Week in Review:
Tacoma 8, New Orleans 9 (FLA + 5)
W: Ceda (2-1, 0.50) L: Lueke (0-2, 3.46)
W: Castro (3-2, 4.50) L: Mendez (1-5, 8.57)
Memphis 8 (STL – 7), Tacoma 2
W: Lynn (3-3, 4.25) L: French (0-5, 5.98)
W: Lueke (1-2, 3.14) L: Marte (0-3, 2.41)
W: Valdes (3-2, 6.57) L: Cortes (1-1, 3.97) S: Rauschenberger (1)
W: Ring (2-1, 2.77) L: Dickson (1-5, 4.30) S: Lueke (4)
Hitter of the Week:
DH Luis Antonio Jimenez, L/L, 5/7/1982
6 G, 18 AB, 4 R, 6 H, HR, 3 RBI, 4/8 K/BB, .333/.519/.500
In his first four games in triple-A this season, Jimenez was 3-for-18 with a couple of doubles and four walks against three Ks. He's still walking, but that's the only part of the line that's roughly the same. The strikeouts are dipping, and the only thing that seems to be missing now is him gripping and ripping pitches with a little more consistently. Even that seems like it will come in time. For now, I'm just wondering what the devil he was doing for all of last season, since he wasn't in the NPB then. I'm guessing injury, or time working through the LVBP, like Felix's brother did.
Some Power, Some Walks Mention:
2B Dustin Ackley, L/R, 2/26/1988
6 G, 26 AB, 5 R, 7 H, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2/2 K/BB, .269/.321/.500
Some Power, No Walks Mention:
OF/1B Johan Limonta, L/L, 8/4/1983
6 G, 21 AB, 3 R, 7 H, 2 2B, HR, 5 RBI, 3/0 K/BB, .333/.333/.571
Pitcher of the Week:
RHP Denny Bautista, 8/23/1980
0-09, 2 G, 0.00 ERA in 5.1 IP, H, 6/2 K/BB, 2/4 G/F
Hard-throwing pitchers with limited command are kept around in the high minors for years on the off chance that they make a plateau leap at some point and become useful on top of interesting. I don't know that this is happening for Bautista, but some considerations for you to chew over. He's running an 11.8 K/9 right now. The past two seasons he's been over ten combined between triple-A and the MLB, but even this is excessive. His walk rate is also 5.3, which is roughly where his combined stats fall as well. The only difference is that he seems to be giving up home runs more frequently. Good week? Sure. Leap forward? Don't hold your breath.
On the Left Side of the Boat Mention:
LHP Fabio Castro, 1/20/1985
1-0, GS, 1.69 ERA in 5.1 IP, 6 H, R, 3/3 K/BB, 4/7 G/F
From The Training Room:
Another slow week. RHP Chris Smith got his release on Thursday as the team brought in RHP Scott Patterson from Jackson. Smith had some good stretches of late, but was mostly bad. It's possible that he had an opt-out in his contract, but this looks to me like it could be just a plain older release as well. Chad Cordero, Kanekoa Texeira, and Sean Green were also involved in transactions this week, all for other teams.
Strange Happenings:
Liddi got hit by a pitch three times last week. Through forty-two games, these are the only times he's been hit by a pitch. His career high is eight, set two years ago. Curiously, he's also only grounded into two double plays all season, one of which came on Sunday. Last year, he grounded into seventeen. Perhaps he's getting more loft on the ball? Either way, he has more stolen bases than hits by pitch or double plays too…. Ackley has as many home runs in 2011 as he did all of last season. Take that, doubters.
Jackson Generals (5-1 this week, 25-16 overall)
Huntsville 2 (MIL + 2), Jackson 5
W: Carraway (1-0, 2.79) L: Bowman (1-1, 3.52)
THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE JACKSON GENERALRegisterLoginMiLB.com
W: Vasquez (3-3, 3.78) L: Sanchez (2-4, 5.21) S: Patterson (10)
W: Paredes (1-0, 0.00) L: Meadows (3-2, 3.20) S: Fields (2)
Mississippi 3 (ATL -9), Jackson 4
W: Wilhelmsen (1-0, 0.00) L: Swaggerty (0-1, 1.29)
W: Avilan (1-2, 5.03) L: Penney (3-1, 6.23)
W: Carraway (2-0, 2.78) L: Cordier (0-1, 5.40) S: Fields (3)
3B Nate Tenbrink, L/R, 12/21/1986
6 G, 18 AB, 6 R, 7 H, 2B, 2 3B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 SB, 4/5 K/BB, .389/.522/.833
Here's a name I know I haven't yet had the opportunity to speak much about. Tenbrink was a guy that a lot of us, JH and myself included, had pegged for one of the rising stars in the system due to his start to last year. After his concussion though, he was still all right, but not quite the same hitter he was before. I wouldn't say that I was looking at his line so far, .206/.338/.365 in April and .220/.350/.440 in May as of the end of this week, and wondering if he was broke, though some may have. The peripherals seemed to be there, and the eye was improving, so something else seems to have been amiss. I may have hit on what that is. For kicks, I decided to calculate out his BABIP, and it turns out it's just .222. We all know that hitter BABIP is subject to a few more factors than pitcher BABIP, but given that Tenbrink is left-handed, reasonably strong, and not lacking in speed, it seems that he's been a bit unlucky so far.
Back from the DL and Slugging Mention:
OF Kuo-hui Lo, R/R, 9/26/1985
5 G, 18 AB, 5 R, 5 H, 2B, 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 7/2 K/BB, .278/.350/.778
Back on the Watch List Mention:
LF Jake Shaffer, L/L, 8/16/1987
5 G, 21 AB, 3 R, 7 H, 2 3B, HR, 3 RBI, CS, 2/1 K/BB, .333/.363/.667
RHP Taylor Stanton, 1/15/1988
0-0, GS, 0.00 ERA in 6.0 IP, 7 H, 4/0 K/BB, 4/7 G/F, WP
To be fair, you're going to see much of the rotation below. It was a week of dominant starting pitching for the Generals, but Stanton is probably not the guy people expected to be doing so well. He's recorded all of four starts in advanced-A, and in that span, he had thirty-three hits allowed in 18.2 IP and a 11/4 K/BB. Bad, in a word. The Mavericks' worst starter, in four words. But he got his call to double-A all the same once Hensley was hurting and has since been fine, more or less (it's been two starts). Stanton seems to have his fans in the organization, but he's been relying on balls in play more and more as he's come up, with both the walks and strikeouts coming down. Maybe it's just adjustment, but there's also the possibility that his stuff isn't playing as well at the higher levels as it used to.
Old Reliable Mention:
RHP Jarrett Grube, 11/5/1981
0-0, GS, 1.29 ERA in 7.0 IP, 6 H, R, 4/2 K/BB, 5/9 G/F, 2 WP
Winner Mention:
RHP Andrew Carraway, 9/4/1986
2-0, 2 G (GS), 2.13 ERA in 12.2 IP, 9 H (HR), 3 R, 7/2 K/BB, 9/13 G/F, HBP
Regressing Strikeouts? Mention:
RHP Erasmo Ramirez, 5/2/1990
0-0, GS, 0.00 ERA in 6.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R (0 ER), 3/0 K/BB, 8/4 G/F, WP
The Generals picked up RHPs Shawn Kelley and Tom Wilhelmsen around the time they lost Patterson. Wilhelmsen will be in the rotation soon enough, but is busy getting stretched out. Kelley has pitched two innings and has two hits and two Ks to his line. This matters.
Seager played a bit of shortstop last week. This seems a bit more normal than Liddi playing it, though both have happened recently… For the week, the team was 15-for-68 with runners in scoring position and still managed to win five games…. If you like Tenbrink, and want to keep liking Tenbrink, don't check out his defensive numbers. That's still a work in progress…. The Generals turned five double plays on Friday for the second week in a row.
High Desert Mavericks (5-2 this week, 21-23 overall)
Rancho Cucamonga 5 (LA + 10), High Desert 4 (ten innings)
W: Tolleson (1-0, 0.00) L: Kesler (1-1, 4.50)
High Desert 9, Lancaster 8 (HOU – 5)
W: Cooper (3-0, 4.35) L: Ramirez (0-1, 7.71) S: Hudson (1)
High Desert 10, Lancaster 8 (HOU – 6)
W: Markovitz (1-1, 4.91) L: Robinson (2-4, 5.70) S: Kesler (1)
W: Cisnero (3-2, 5.13) L: Maurer (0-1, 3.60) S: Clark (11)
W: Cooper (4-0, 3.80) L: Grimmett (1-2, 5.34)
High Desert 7, Visalia 4 (ARI – 3) (ten innings)
W: Delabar (1-1, 4.38) L: Worthington (1-2, 4.71)
High Desert 9, Visalia 4 (ARI – 4)
W: Sorce (4-1, 3.11) L: Smith (1-7, 10.31)
DH Dennis Raben, L/L, 7/31/1987
7 G, 27 AB, 6 R, 12 H, 2B, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 6/1 K/BB, .444/.448/.926
The good news is that this wasn't a homestand. The bad news is that two of the home runs came in Lancaster. Further good news is that neither Lancaster nor Visalia have strong LH HR park factors (104 and 111, respectively), so we can kind of get excited about these. Want some more to dream on? In the limited sampling to start the season, Raben's L/R split issues have pretty much gone away, and he has a .814 OPS at home compared to .918 on the road. These are all important bits of information to us if we're projecting Raben as being a useful contributor down the road. The only thing that seems to be missing is that his batting eye is little different from last season, maybe slightly worse. Walks are nice.
Sporadically Hitting Catcher Mention:
C Trevor Coleman, S/R, 1/19/1988
All Power, No Walks Mention:
3B Mario Martinez, R/R, 11/13/1989
6 G, 28 AB, 9 R, 10 H, 2 2B, 3 3B, 5 RBI, 7/0 K/BB, .357/.357/.642
RHP Willy Kesler, 8/11/1987
0-1, 2 G, SV, 1.59 ERA in 5.2 IP, 4 H (HR), 7/0 K/BB, 5/2 G/F
We open with the guy who is fast becoming the Mavericks' best reliever. Kesler didn't have much trouble with the Midwest League before moving up. He had a 16/0 K/BB in 18.2 IP and a .217 average against. In the Cal League, the story has been a little different, and his line is marred by a debut outing that had him with a couple of runs allowed on four hits, three walks, and two Ks in his first two innings pitched. Since then, he's seemed like he's settling down and returned to getting a lot of groundballs and not really walking anyone. The pre-draft reports on Kesler weren't particularly glowing, but he did redshirt as a junior after Tommy John surgery, so I'd consider him to have maybe been a little undersold coming in.
The Other Relief Hero Mention:
RHP Daniel Cooper, 11/6/1986
2-0, 2 G, 1.93 ERA in 4.2 IP, 4 H (HR), R, 5/2 K/BB, 7/1 G/F, WP\
RHPs Yoervis Medina and Timothy Boyce landed on the DL this week and RHP Brandon Maurer was added from Clinton to take the spot in the rotation. Good move! Maurer, if healthy, could stand to be pushed a little.
During homestands, the Lancaster JetHawks run a promotion known as We Win You Win Wednesdays where if the team walks away with a victory, everyone who attended will get a free ticket to a future Lancaster game. We beat them 10-8. I imagine a lot of people walked away unhappy… Since I sort of addressed it above, Mavericks hitters drew twenty-seven walks this week (and handed out fewer than that). That's still putting them in roughly the middle of the pack for the league, and since the home stadium tends to inflate things a bit, I'd like to see them do better than that…. Lancaster sent thirteen men to the plate in the fourth inning of Friday's game, scoring eight runs in the process. We still won. Games are NEVER over there… Nick Franklin was 6-for-29 with no walks, but one of each extra-base hit. Someone would have asked.
Clinton Lumberkings (1-5 this week, 11-33 overall)
Clinton 6, Burlington 8 (OAK + 19)
W: Long (2-0, 3.24) L: Mieses (1-4, 6.00)
W: Sena (2-1, 1.08) L: Hart (2-1, 2.12) S: Burgoon (4)
Clinton 5, Burlington 7 (OAK + 19) (eleven innings)
W: Tyson (3-2, 4.15) L: Sena (2-2, 3.12)
Clinton 1, Peoria 3 (CHC + 3)
W: Sosa (1-0, 1.69) L: Snow (1-6, 4.62) S: Hatley (3)
W: Jokisch (6-0, 2.55) L: Reed (0-1, 4.15)
W: Kirk (3-1, 1.94) L: Mieses (1-5, 6.00)
OF Kalian Sams, R/R, 8/25/1986
5 G, 17 AB, 5 R, 6 H, 2B, HR, RBI, 4 SB, 2/4 K/BB, .353/.476/.588
The cheap writer thing to do here would be to claim that Sams' newfound walking tendencies are merely one more indication of the strange times we live in and then make some reference to eschatology. I'm going to pass by that, if that's okay, even if Marc and I used to refer to Sams' HR or strikeout tendency as Manichaean. For one, it's that he had twice as many games in High Desert and walked a quarter as often. Over there, he was more his usual self, with thirty-two of his sixty at-bats resulting in a strikeout or a home run. But it's also that we've been watching Sams for a really long time now, so maybe he should be walking. He's in his fifth pro season, four or which have involved stops in the short-season leagues, and four of which have involved the MWL in some way (he was around for Wisconsin). If he wasn't doing interesting things now and then, he probably wouldn't be around.
May Be My New Favorite Player Mention:
RF Jabari Blash, R/R, 7/4/1989
5 G, 14 AB, 2 R, 3 H, HR, RBI, SB, 4/7 K/BB, .214/.476/.429
Some Power! Mention:
1B/LF Mickey Wiswall, L/R, 11/25/1988
6 G, 24 AB, R, 8 H, 2 2B, HR, 5 RBI, SB, 4/1 K/BB, .333/.346/.542
LHP James Paxton, 11/6/1988
Some people might look at this and find their eye drawn to the walk total. It's less than we've seen in any of Paxton's previous starts, but still more than one might like and this wasn't a long outing, though not short either. On the other hand, the Bees are an Oakland farm team and they drew seven walks in the five and two-thirds innings that Paxton wasn't on the mound, and the Bees are also tied with the Lumberkings for the most walks in the league as of Monday night. This may have been a bigger step forward than we're easily able to account for at the moment. I'm thinking that it might be.
Far Better than his Season ERA Suggests Mention:
RHP Steve Kohlscheen, 9/20/1988
0-0, 2 G, 1.93 ERA in 4.2 IP, 3 H (HR), R, 7/3 K/BB, 2/2 G/F
After Clinton lost Maurer, RHP Keli'I Zablan finally found a home there… On Friday, 1B Tim Morris went on the DL, which is bad, but OF Julio Morban came off it, which is really, really good, especially considering I wrote a piece for Grand Salami recently talking about how healthy he'd been.
Backup catcher Carlton Tanabe had his seven-game hit streak end this week. That isn't too special. What's special is that the seven-game streak spanned from April 16th to May 15th… Jabari Blash leads the team in walks by nine. On his own, he accounts for more than 16% of the total walks from the Clinton hitters, and has only played in little over half their games. He also played a little center field this week!.. This is another "someone would have asked" moment: Taijuan Walker pitched four and two-thirds innings this week and let two score on seven hits, a hit batter, two walks, and three Ks, giving up a home run along the way. This was against Peoria though, and Peoria has been nigh unbeatable for the Lumberkings.

Is there anyone noteworthy that we can plan on being on the Everett squad? Guillermo Pimentel?
Thanks for your hard work as always Jay.
robbbbbb on May 24th, 2011 9:05 am
I was at Saturday's Rainiers game, which was a heartbreaker. They rallied to tie, and then Cortes grooved a 98 MPH fastball that got the crap hit out of it.
Ackley didn't look that good that night, but it was one night.
The guy who grabbed our attention was Luis Jimenez. He hit the ball hard a couple of times, and he stole a base! Let's just say that he doesn't have the prototypical base-stealer's frame.
What's the story on Jimenez? Is he a real prospect? Could he be enough of an MLB hitter to DH at the big league level? (I don't see anywhere he fits defensively.)
Westside guy on May 24th, 2011 9:40 am
Jay, I have a question.
Does Venezuela actually have seasons? I mean – they're right above the equator; so if they actually differentiate summer from winter it'd just mean it's that much bloody hotter. 😉
Actually I have a real question. I'm not familiar with the notation in some of these scores… (STL + 5), (OAK +19), (HOU – 6). What does that mean? I understand that STL or OAK are the major league affiliate, but I don't understand the numbers.
Sorry if it's a silly question; and thanks!
Ibuprofen on May 24th, 2011 9:50 am
So, Ackley+Liddi call up sometime soon then? 😀
maqman on May 24th, 2011 11:02 am
Nice to see Tenbrink pick it up again. I like what Catricala, Raben and Shaffer doing so far. Good insights as always Jay.
paracorto on May 24th, 2011 11:47 am
"So, …….. Liddi call up sometime soon then?"
After Peguero's heroics (please never forget, Peguero was a NO-PROSPECT for everybody outside the organization) that would be an intolerable affront for blog experts. I'm keeping all the files for the moment.
nadingo on May 24th, 2011 11:59 am
I posted this on the last Minor League Update, but is there any plan to update the Future Forty? It would be nice to have a general overview of the system in addition to the detailed updates.
Jay Yencich on May 24th, 2011 12:03 pm
A lot of guys that I thought were going to head there, like Walker and Blash, are already in Clinton, so I'm not eager to make predictions. Shipers? Richard Vargas? Littlewood and Morla? Pimentel? Kim? Some of those names.
Jimenez is an enigma. Eleven years in the minors, seven different MLB organizations and a stint in the NPB. I don't know what his deal is other than he's been able to hit in the past. No one knows what his deal is beyond that.
Team records in relation to .500. + 19 means Burlington is nineteen games over .500. I get this question a few times a year.
I get time to work on it every few weeks and then get slammed to the point where I can't finish it off, then a bunch of minor league stuff happens and I have to recalibrate and then I'm swamped again. The short answer is that it will never be updated again unless it is. Early April was the last opportunity I had to update it, which means that everything I have down now is nearly worthless, and considering the draft is in a couple of weeks, there's no point in working on it anyway.
Future Forty questions make me bash my head on the keyboard because I feel bad about it, and at the same time, never want to be asked about it again.
nadingo on May 24th, 2011 12:14 pm
Sorry to contribute to your frustration! Speaking only for myself, I would be willing to forego a weekly update or two if it made it easier to work on the future 40. If nothing else, it's nice to have a snapshot of what the system looks like at a particular moment in time, so it's easier to track progress (or regression) from that point.
Right, I understand that vantage. I'll make another attempt after draft day, but by then or soon after, I'll be trying to wrangle with nine affiliates on a daily basis, so no promises.
Chipanese on May 24th, 2011 12:26 pm
Luis Pina is looking pretty awful. Do you have a mini scouting report on him? Like FB speed, and secondary stuff. Thanks!
Not really. Was tied for the 20th-highest bonus last year, supposedly has a good feel for pitching but inconsistent mechanics.
Ed on May 24th, 2011 1:10 pm
Any updates on Ji-Man Choi?
FetalPuzishun on May 24th, 2011 1:21 pm
Thanks for the update Jay.
I saw Ackley has a triple and double so far today.
HighBrie on May 24th, 2011 1:44 pm
Hi Jay- hey, what's the latest on Halman? He appears to be listed on MILB.com as "on the 7 day DL" which I did not even realize was an option. Any training room info either Halman or Robles? Lastly, do you figure there's any interest in moving Triunfel up to Tacoma this year, and if so, when?
bookbook on May 24th, 2011 1:44 pm
Limonta and Pimental (and Wilson) are all born in 1983. So I assume these are all guys who, at best, we can skim a few years of peak off of AAAA careers. Or am I being pessimistic?
Also, what does the organization think about Carp's 12 HR? Amused, but indifferent?
Jay Yencich on May 24th, 2011 2:09 pm
Back issues in the earlier part of the year. In extended working on catching.
Geez, questions. Halman busted his wrist when he was hit by a pitch, so he'll be out for a while. 7-day DL is the only minor league DL. We'll probably start to hear about Robles within a month. Cleaning out elbows usually takes that long to heal. Triunfel, I'd consider promoting in a couple of months if he's still at it, but there's no big rush.
Who's Pimental? And yeah, that's fairly realistic. Baseball is weird though.
Rainiers up 15-3 going into the bottom of the seventh.
I am not the organization and could not tell you. I am but one man.
robbbbbb on May 24th, 2011 2:16 pm
Thanks for the info on Jimenez. I was a couple beers in when he took off to steal second, and I may have yelled, "Run, fat boy, run!" I'm not entirely sure, however.
dnc on May 24th, 2011 2:31 pm
Wait, are you suggesting that Peguero's .239 on base percentage is somehow indicative that everyone was wrong about Peguero? He's had a couple of timely hits. The same things were said about Willie Bloomquist and Mike Morse and Rene Rivera upon being called up as well, only for reality to set in. Peguero has been very bad. Don't let a couple of well-timed singles fool you. Timing is not a repeatable skill.
Ackley's double and triple today were both off of the lefty starter
Westside guy on May 24th, 2011 2:42 pm
Peguero has been very bad. Don't let a couple of well-timed singles fool you. Timing is not a repeatable skill.
But you're ignoring the stellar(*) defense he brings to left field.
(*)For sufficiently loose definitions of "stellar".
Peguero's defense, like all other forms of matter, was forged billions of years ago in distant stars.
paracorto on May 24th, 2011 3:14 pm
"Wait, are you suggesting that Peguero's .239 on base percentage is somehow indicative that everyone was wrong about Peguero?"
Not exactly. I'm just suggesting more prudence before making some scornful statement about a young AAA player, especially if his coaches show to go the opposite. Personally that would instill some doubts in my mind. Glad you haven't. OBP you say ? OBP is not the primary matter for a 6'5″ 250 lb slugger IMO.

Sounds like Halman will be ready in about 2 weeks, though that's subject to change.
Luis Jimenez is org depth. Entertainingly proportioned, but org depth. I always thought every AAA team should have a spherical 1B/DH type – a Bucky Jacobsen/Juan Thomas/Brad Nelson sort of guys.
OBP is not the primary matter for a 6?5? 250 lb slugger IMO.
Baseball is a game of outs. Anyone who makes outs 75% of the time is an extreme liability to his team. I agree he doesn't need to post an OBP of .400, or even .360, but he absolutely has to get on base significantly more frequently to be anything close to an asset to the team.
And coaches opinions are important, the problem is we don't know what they actually think because too much of their job is PR. The coach isn't going to tell us the kid sucks, and rightfully so. That doesn't mean he doesn't suck though.
Thanks for the inside dope. And Paxton! Hot stuff tonight for Clinton. 12K:2BB, 1ER in 6in.

Our latest photo report brings us to Hollywood Studios, where we won't be looking at Star Wars or Toy Story Land construction because you should just check out the aerial pics and video we recently posted for that. Instead, we will check out all of the other changes and modifications happening around what of the park actually exists now. Welcome to Hollywood!
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away was updated for Rogue One. That being said, the show is still pretty awful.
Death Troopers from Rogue One now come out in a new scene.
Star Wars Launch Bay's final gallery was updated with props and models from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
The new style customizable name tags are now available at the Launch Bay – Cargo Bay store.
Over at Star Tours, not only are all of the scenes on the ride back in randomized order, they also finally turned open the MagicBand interactive feature in the queue.
If it can't read enough MagicBands in the area, some random Star Wars characters show up on the screens.
The Rogue One MagicBand 2 is now available all around the Walt Disney World Resort if you are interested in it.
The Christmas decorations at Hollywood Studios are my favorite, so I took some pictures. Sorry, no news here.
The Red Car Trolley cart returned recently to the park.
Sunset Club Couture now has a rather large jewelry section.
The Haunted Mansion socks have arrived at Walt Disney World.
Darth Vader and Stormtrooper socks have showed up as well.
Flatbreads are back at Mama Melrose's after a short break for a kitchen refurbishment.
The MuppetVision poster is now gone on this bus shed, replaced by a sign advertising the nearby FP+ kiosks.
Star Tours recently received some new exterior lighting and it looks great.
The signage for Celebrity Spotlight was turned a different direction in hopes it will help guests to locate the meet and greet.
A Disney Vacation Club kiosk has been placed at the entrance of PIXAR Place.
When will they finally update characters at Celebrity Spotlight?
Wait… are you saying Muppet Vision is closing????
I don't think it won't close, not to worry!
HI Tom, when Star Wars Land opens, what about the placement of Launch Bay and Star Tours? Is this too much Star Wars all over the park? Shouldn't it be contained?
If you look at the way Star Tours is situated against the old streets of America, it's likely that it will be incorporated into Star Wars Land, leaving Muppets Courtyard as an island surrounded entirely by Star Wars. I think Launch Bay was always intended to be a temporary placeholder to fill the time between the old Star Wars Weekends and the new land (but that's purely my speculation).
I would love to know how much the bubble thing was!!
When we were there in December they were $20 and sold out fast.
This park has become WAY too Star Wars junk toy intensive. I know Disney is only trying to milk the franchise for all it's worth, and it's fan base would pay a mint for a half baked product, as long as it is "Star Wars" related. And once they reopen the closed areas, it looks like they will be either to sell Star Wars. Or sell Carsland merchandise only. Disappointing.
Carsland? Wrong coast. So far we only had a meet and greet that got dismantled. Is all the construction Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land or did they leave some open space for future "lands"?
I think you're right Jeff. My mistake. Worse than I thought. No extra space being added, just took away attractions that gave Hollywood Studios a studio feel, to put in the two new lands, which are 90% merchandise and food stands and to promote upcoming movies.
As they cut the fun stuff to do, they are scratching their heads wondering why they're having to discount the heck out of the place. Crazy.
Disney pilferages their own brand. Agree with article. It's way over done. And when did Disney's toys and sales take over so much and get so ghetto? It's like K-mart, but cheaper. Come on Disney. You can do way better. We'll be skipping this park this summer. But with huge cut backs in space and staff, am sure lines will be plenty long.

Bulletin Issue9 - January?March 2003
Stop Fascism in Colombia
The son of a landlord narco-trafficker, friend of dodgy businessmen and a long time promoter of right-wing paramilitary death squads, Uribe was elected by less than a quarter of all Colombians. He is doubling the size of the armed forces, recruiting hundreds of thousands of village guards and aims to build a network of one million informers to defeat the social movements and the guerrillas, the FARC and the ELN. At the same time, US military involvement is rapidly expanding, with the planned insertion of US troops creating the very real possibility of a Latin American front to the so-called War on Terror.
The son of a landlord narco-trafficker, friend of dodgy businessmen and a long time promoter of right-wing paramilitary death squads, Uribe was elected by less than a quarter of all Colombians. He is doubling the size of the armed forces, recruiting hundreds of thousands of village guards and aims to build a network of one million informers to defeat the social movements and the guerrillas, the FARC and the ELN. At the same time, US military involvement is rapidly expanding, with the planned insertion of US troops creating the very real possibility of a Latin American front to the so-called War on Terror.
Militarisation goes hand in hand with authoritarian rule. Government ministers openly state that they must curtail democratic rights. Uribe immediately declared a 'State of Internal Unrest' allowing him to rule by presidential decree, by passing Congress. All the social movements live in fear for their lives. Armed police raid international NGOs accusing them of being guerrillas. Uribe's government clearly regards trade unionists as legitimate targets for assassination. He has brought Colombia to the brink of fascism.
There is continued grass roots resistance, but it needs a sea change in international solidarity if it is to survive Uribe's offensive. While Bush has given Uribe the green light for state terrorism, who will stand by the Colombian people?
A ray of hope has come from the Polo Democrát-ico, a group of independent and socialist Senators and Congress representatives who managed to get elected despite the intimidation. At this juncture they have pivotal role in expressing the needs of the excluded majority. These deputies live under constant threat of assassination. Should their voice be silenced then fascism will have not only arrived but taken over.
Just as Latin America is seeking a way out of neo-liberal capitalism, Uribe throws Colombia further into its depths. Uribe is plunging into debt to finance military expansion. Before long the Colombian people will have to pay, right now it means that Uribe does whatever Bush wants.
As in the Middle East and Asia, Bush has made clear his readiness to go to war. While most of Latin America is shaping resistance to US domination, and its peoples struggle for a new economic model that is oriented to their needs, the Colombian government is ever more in Bush's pocket. Uribe is not only selling off his own country, but threatens to betray a whole continent.
Nor is Uribe just Bush's man in Latin America, he is a favourite of the Blair government too. The multinationals are the driving force behind Blair's love-in with Uribe. That famous revolving door with BP has been in full swing.
On 10 December David Taylor MP asked government minister Bill Rammell to "make a statement on the political situation in Colombia." Rammell's response? "The new democratically elected Colombian Government face enormous challenges, particularly in their fight against terrorism and the illegal drugs trade, as well as over human rights and Colombia's humanitarian crisis. We support their effortsto tackle all those issues."
Nowhere does Rammell acknowledge the Colombian government and state's own responsibility for terrorism, drugs and human rights violations.
A broad political campaign is needed to tackle the British government's shameful position, which is a cover-up for fascism.
Our challenge is to mobilise international solidarity delegations, to unmask the multinationals' agenda, to tell the public what is really going on in Colombia and to defend human rights.
The Colombia Solidarity Campaign supports Colombians who are in danger of persecution. We support humanitarian efforts to assist Colombians seeking temporary refuge, or full asylum should they require it.
We call for a common front based on action to defeat fascism and imperialist intervention in Colombia.
Unite to Stop Uribe Fascism!
Mobilise Against Imperialist Intervention!

Is Man Utd's honeymoon over?
Manchester United have now lost five of their last seven games – a decline that started immediately after their heroics in Paris.
Lionel Messi produced a customary masterclass at the Nou Camp on Tuesday evening, scoring two goals as Barcelona dumped Manchester United out of the Champions League 4-0 on aggregate.
Solskjaer was named permanent manager just three weeks ago, on the back of two straight defeats against Arsenal in the Premier League and Wolves in the FA Cup – losing both games 2-0.
But the vote of confidence and an international break failed to reverse a rapid decline in form, which has seen United's returns regress to numbers recorded under Jose Mourinho earlier this season.
United's win percentage in all competitions is currently at a monthly season low at 25 per cent, having only won one of their four games in April so far – a stark contrast to the season-high 83 per cent in January.
The graphic below shows United's average number of goals scored and conceded in the Premier League during this campaign – revealing the immediate impact of Solskjaer's appointment as interim manager in December.
But that rate peaked with a 4-1 win over Bournemouth in their final game of last year and has been on the wane since, currently averaging at pre-December levels.
However, despite clear indications the honeymoon bounce effect is over, there are positive signs United are still producing a superior number of chances under their new manager.
Expected goals data, which measures the true value of chances in front of goal, suggests United are consistently outperforming opponents under the Norwegian – having struggled to maintain surplus runs under Mourinho.
Premier League data reveals United have recorded less activity down the left channel since their extraordinary result in Paris, an area typically marshalled by Paul Pogba – who initially improved considerably upon Solksjaer's arrival.
That decline could also be a result of Solskjaer choosing not to deploy a 4-3-3 system in the league since beating Palace in February, while tstarting three at the back for the first time during the 2-1 defeat at Wolves.
An injury crisis struck United in March with 10 players sustaining 13 injuries, according to physioroom.com – including Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Anthony Martial, Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku.
As a result, Solskjaer made at least four line-up changes in three out of four top-flight games that month.
The graphic below reveals the Norwegian has been shuffling the pack again recently, making six changes in the league defeat at Wolves – attempting to manage European commitments, rekindle form and reintroduce fit-again players.
The graphic below shows which players Solskjaer used most before and since their victory in Paris.
Notable absentees include Matic and Herrera, key holding midfielders who have been left out of the squad recently after returning from their injuries, while Fred, Diogo Dalot and Chris Smalling have been used more frequently.
The most notable statistical dips since the victory in Paris have been a severe decline in shots on target and, as a result, goals.
Interestingly, United have actually recorded higher averages across a raft of defensive metrics since their quarter-final heroics – areas typically associated with Mourinho's tenure at the helm.
Solskjaer was appointed on a permanent basis only five games ago, but the honeymoon period does, indeed, appear to be over after experiencing a remarkable bounce effect following his initial arrival in December.
United's points-per-game ratio, in addition to their goals scored and conceded rates, have regressed to Mourinho levels – but the quality of their chances have been consistently higher under the Norwegian.
Pogba was one of the most improved players after Mourinho was axed, but the World Cup winner has recorded less activity in the Premier League over the past few weeks in his favoured areas.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer has experimented with several different systems over the last four league games and has started with three centre backs for the first time this term in the league – which has boosted defensive stats.
Ultimately, the stats were regressing before the injury crisis hit last month, but United do appear to have missed Herrera and Matic – with Fred collecting more game-time in their absence.
But, despite the limp exit from Europe in Barcelona, all is not lost for Solskjaer.
In the Premier League, United remain only two points shy of fourth-placed Arsenal with five games still to play. So his team will now focus on a top-four finish to go again next season after the promised 'rebuild' begins this summer.
We have a rebuilding job. It started with coaches, players and of course one or two additions in the summer.


Hey internet, long time no blog. I know, I know, no one cares if you don't post for a week and a half and it's the world's biggest blogging cliche to say you've been too busy to update but SERIOUSLY, I have been so busy. Even though I finished & shipped all the banner orders I received before the holiday cut off, people are still ordering up a storm, and for big banners too; most of the year I mostly sell mini banners but for the past week it's been a full size banner-stravaganza.
I'm also deep, deep into Christmas prep, and between running holiday errands LITERALLY every day, rescuing ornaments from sticky toddler hands and trying to find SOMEWHERE to put all the gifts because there is no way we can keep them under the tree (did I mention STICKY TODDLER HANDS???), and working on handmade gifts I am BURIED UNDER. I'm actually working on a gift right now at my computer as I edit pics & wait for them to upload. Seriously.
In between the craziness there's been some fun; on Friday my mom came over for a visit on her way south for the winter and that night we had dinner at my sister-in-law's with her and her kids and my sister and her boyfriend. On Saturday Taylor's dad came by to visit. Family stuff! So good. And over the course of the weekend we were in full Christmas cookie mode. I don't have a tried-and-true recipe that I use so we usually just use a mix, or tubes of Pillsbury dough (although I would not recommend their gingerbread dough unless you want to die from frustration as it is basically IMPOSSIBLE to roll out). Over the course of Saturday and Sunday we baked two kinds of gingerbread and also sugar cookies, and then last night Taylor, Sym and I decorated them all. Mostly they are weird, but I'm pretty happy with them.
This week is going to be more of the same that last week was: banner-making, cobbling and catching up on Keeping up with the Kardashians as I craft. It's a difficult life, you guys.
My mom says it's very grown up of me to finally have a real dining room table so kudos to me on becoming an adult at the age of 37 & 3/4. For tips on how to get a super-cool centerpiece like mine check out this diy.
Gwen got this beautiful dress for her birthday from Taylor's sister (& family), she wore it for the first time the other day with polka dot jeggings (similar here). FASHION.
This is my favourite cookie.
Gwen looks absolutely adorable! Love the dress! Those leggings are awesome too!

James Grover Kennedy, 50 years old of Carmel, Maine, a dedicated husband, father, friend and mentor to many, died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Saturday, January 12, 2019 at Waldo County General Hospital following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
James was born on April 10, 1968 in Lewiston, Maine. He grew up in Bucksport and graduated high school in 1986. As a child he battled leukemia and ultimately prevailed. James proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force as a Munitions Specialist and was stationed in Germany where his first son, Michael was born. After his honorable discharge, he returned home and began his career in law enforcement with the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department. He started in the Corrections Division where he rose to the rank of Security Sergeant before transferring to the Law Enforcement Division where he worked as a rural patrol deputy before retiring at the rank of Sergeant in 2015. Upon retirement he went to work in the private sector, working for Schwan's. Ultimately, James missed public service and returned to law enforcement, working part-time for the Searsport Police Department and fulltime for the Newport Police Department.
James was twice recognized as the Deputy Sheriff of the year for Penobscot County. In 2004 he was presented a Citation for Meritorious Service from the Maine State Police, by Governor John Baldacci, for extraordinary lifesaving efforts in rescuing a motorist from a burning vehicle in Corinna, Maine. Additionally, in 2015 James received special recognition from the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department for saving a child from a burning mobile home in Hermon. Throughout his law enforcement career he was thought of as a thorough investigator and the public greatly appreciated his community policing approach. James always had a unique ability at telling jokes and talking to complete strangers as if they were long lost friends.
James enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, 4-wheeling, camping, woodworking, traveling and anything related to history. Christmas was James favorite time of the year and he particularly enjoyed this special holiday with his family.
James was predeceased by his mother, Peggy Jean Dorr, his adopted father Chester Delworth Kennedy, and his daughter, Michelle Julia Kennedy.
He is survived by his loving wife, Laurie Kennedy and sons, Michael, Dru, and Zachary of Carmel as well as several brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
At James request, there will be no funeral services, but there will be a celebration of life in the spring for family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Laurie Kennedy, 197 Damascus Rd. Carmel, ME 04419 to assist his family, whom he greatly cherished and worked tirelessly to support.

The team presents one or two series every month with seven or eight plays as a combined effort. "Vaayusastra, which is headed by me, is a group aimed at combining techniques of aeromodelling with theatre in a format which is easily explainable to kids. Since I am an aeronautical engineer who happened to be passionate about theatre, I tried to combine both the skills," he adds.Naveena Koothupattarai, set up in 2014, is headed by Athira Pandilakshmy who is the most experienced theatre artist in the team, with more than nine years of experience.
"Naveena Koothupattarai aims to combine old and new aspects of theatre in an agreeable fusion. We also nurture budding talent and help them grow as artists... If a play lasts 10 minutes, we give chances to college students and homemakers, but if it's an hour long, we look for experienced full-time actors," says Athira adding that her aim was to provide a permanent stage for artists so that they can practise regularly apart from only participating at festivals.
Feathers series this year includes a team of five directors — Jagadeesh Kanna, Karthik Shridhar, Athira Pandilakshmy, Chandrashekar and Praveen and a long list of actors who have presented over 70 plays at the Short and Sweet Film Festival. Some of the names of their plays are in English but they all use Tamil language and cater to the local audience.

Het die volgende boodskap op Facebook blad: Landbou Sosiaal gevind: Hi there. So as you all should know, the government has transfered some farms from white farmers to black farmers.
I was approached yesterday by a man named Abednego, aged 42, who's parents received one of these farms in Limpopo. They farm mostly with cattle, goats, sheep and chickens. He is currently working in Pretoria and approached me because I am a student at Tuks.
The only method of farming his family knows is the traditional way and they have little knowledge of farm management. Abednego is looking for a farmer who can mentor him in farming techniques, management, and generating profits so that he can go back home and take over from his parents. He is willing to go work on someone's farm until December to learn these skills. If anyone can help him or knows of someone who may be able to help him, please send me an inbox. It doesnt matter where in the country your farm is. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
What a brazenly stupid, stupid individual! This fool wants to learn how to farm in a month? Something that takes a lifetime of experience and hardship! Who would be so foolish as to go and "mentor" this bloke who obviously does not have the cash (nor the inclination) to pay for such services. The old adage is probably very true "Easy come easy go" - Max 2 years from now and that farm, like most others, will inevitably be "transferred" to a wasteland with most trees chopped for firewood and equipment neglected. It's not like we have not seen this happen on countless occasions to champion farms effectively turned into wastelands in a matter of months!
Abednego... Does not sound indigenous to me?
Under the automatic "assumption" that you need to prove your ancestural connection and unfair disposession thereof to be able to claim???
Ja siestog. EK glo ook nie dat daardie plaas ooit n kans gaan he nie. Die knaap het nou gaan studeur, dink dat die lui lekker leefstyl van sy ouers wie se beeste nou bietjie min word, dalk n lekker manier van lewe kan wees.
Elke streek het sy eie uitdagings en peste. 2. Om kommersieel met beeste te boer is nie eintlik n lui lekker lewe nie.
Ek glo nie daardie oes gaan opkom nie. Die gevaar is wanneer jy vir Abotnego werk gee, gaan hy wanneer sy beeste op raak, weet waar om weer nuwe kallers te kry.

The GOP's Shameful War on Voters

After looking into one of their main issues, I have to agree with Republicans: Our elections are being rigged.
Anyone who takes an honest look can see that the electoral process is being stolen in broad daylight. By Republican lawmakers. In state after state, GOP governors and legislators are on a rampage to rig the system so you can't vote. By "you," I mean you African-Americans, Latinx voters, Asian-Americans, Indigenous Peoples, and practically all other non-white citizens. Also, you seniors, union members, poor people, students, immigrant families, and others with a tendency to vote for Democrats. Fraudulently shouting "fraud!" GOP officials insist that they must steal your democratic right to vote in order to protect the "sanctity" of the vote!
They are actually confessing their own embarrassing weakness and political ineptitude by admitting: "We can't win!" Their line-up of squirrely, increasingly-kooky candidates – and their anti-people, corporate serving agenda – have no ability to draw majority support. So, their only hope to be elected is to jerry-rig America's democratic process with barriers, locks, bans, etc. to shut millions of citizens out of their polling places.
Their 7-million-vote defeat in last year's presidential race has spooked the Republican minority into a stampede of voter suppression initiatives this year. The Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks such maneuvers, reports that at least 253 bills have been introduced in 43 states to further obstruct Americans from casting ballots. These new schemes are aggressively repressive, including preventing absentee voting, cutting early voting, eliminating mail-in voting, restricting the number and convenience of polling locations, and even allowing legislators to toss the voters' choice in presidential elections and declare another candidate the victor.
This is pathetic, disgraceful political thuggery – not only stealing people's birthright, but stealing democracy from America itself. To help reject their shameful corruption of elections, go to CommonCause.org.

A really important factor, though, is that even if a person did not know about this store, the video production is of such high-grade and quality that it could entice a consumer who is just becoming aware of Ironhead to want to make purchases there.
Smart business owners, manufacturers, and professionals are well-aware from early on about the importance of connecting with highly-rated video production, web design, and marketing agents. Without these key players involved, a business could find itself on unsteady ground that may or may not stabilize in the future. With Ad Army Group, the future of your company can be even brighter than what you imagined.
Ad Army Group is the number one video production, web design, and marketing consultant agency in Toronto. It is, in fact, the company that did the video production for Ironhead.
Ad Army Group is the video production Toronto industries and businesses have come to rely on time and time again for all of their marketing needs.
This agency offers its clients all of the components needed to help that business build its brand and become successful and profitable.
Ad Army Group has done video production for Zenon Konopka, Darryl Sittler, Ryan O'Reilly, as well as Remax real estate agents, Toshiba, and soup it UP, to name a few. The videos produced by this company are appropriate to industry, feature sets that are eye-catching, content that keeps the viewer engaged, and actors that are well-versed and knowledgeable as to the subject matter of the video.
Ad Army Group is unique in that it has the ability to provide video production, web design, and marketing for its diverse clientele. Businesses no longer have to shop all over town looking for the best video production company, web design company and marketing agency in the singular sense. Ad Army Group is able to provide all of these services under one roof.
It really makes good, sound, business sense for a business to have one business that can provide all three services. Anyone who has been in business knows the headaches that can be had when dealing with several different agencies – scheduling, lack of communication, misunderstandings due to lack of communications – the list goes on and on. Ad Army Group is an agency that can ease the headaches and anxiety caused by trying to juggle too many agencies.
One of the many advantages that a business stands to gain by employing Ad Army Group is knowing that it has hired a company that is unique in t he sense that it really knows how to market a business so that consumers will flock to it. Other ad agencies simply do not have the same business acumen as Ad Army Group. Because this company knows that each industry is different, it does not offer two separate businesses the same solution. In other words, the marketing that Ad Army Group does for an athlete is not going to be same marketing plan used when marketing a model.
Ad Army Group recognizes the important role that videos have in capturing consumers. This agency understands that when a person has a visual as well as audio presentation of a product, that consumer is very likely to seek out that company. The fact is that Ad Army Group has the know-how to get your business on the map in a good way. This know-how is what is going to have a positive effect on your bottom line.
While Ad Army Group has a target audience that includes business owners and marketing managers, this video production Toronto agency is widely sought out by professional athletes like Darryl Sittler and Zenon Kanopka, and Ryan O'Reilly, model Monika Schnarre, The Winemaker's Report, and soup it UP. This is a very short list of Ad Army Group's diverse clientele.
While this agency is located in Canada, it is available to service businesses in the United States and even as far away as India. Even if your business is not situated in Canada, you absolutely have the opportunity to have Ad Army Group's knowledgeable team on your side to assist you with your video production, web design, and marketing needs.

Ad Army Group understands the importance of proper video production and marketing to the extent that it is vital for businesses to attract new customers, but it is equally important to maintain those established customers. A satisfied established customer will very likely point a new customer to a business's website for information. When a website has a high-quality, well-produced video embedded within it, said company's business is likely to skyrocket.
Ad Army Group understands the importance of getting the word out about a business as well as effectively telling and showing what that business is all about. This company is able to provide your business with video productions that consist of event and Internet videos, voice-overs, custom music, client story and testimonials, along with many more time-proven and effective marketing strategies.

Ad Army Group understands the importance and impact that video production can have on any given industry. A video that is recounting a professional athlete's very personal encounter with a health issue would certainly contrast in content with a video that is being produced to promote one's brand. Paul Cookson, along with his team of hard-working professionals, and their knowledge of video production technology will work with you to map out a plan so that your video will be one that not only affects your bottom line in a very positive manner, your video will be one that you as a business owner or someone who is building and maintaining a brand will be proud to showcase.

Q: Autowiring fails in Junit testing and spring @configuration I have two @Configuration classes. I need a bean from one configuration class to another. I have autowired the configuration 1 into 2. All works fine. When executing the unit testing, am getting the below exception.
setUpContext(com.trafigura.titan.framework.services.messaging.loader.SpringLoadTest)
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.xxx.MessagingServicesConfig': Injection of autowired dependencies failed;
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.xxx.EMSJMSConfig com.xxx.MessagingServicesConfig.emsJmsConfig;
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type[com.xxx.EMSJMSConfig] found for dependency:
expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

Is there anything I need to do additionally to make this working?
Below is the setup for testing.
@Configuration
@Import({MessagingServicesConfig.class,...,EMSJMSConfig.class
})
public class MessagingConfig {}

@Profile("EMS-MESSAGING")
@Configuration
public class EMSJMSConfig {
    @Bean
    public javax.jms.ConnectionFactory jmsSubscriberConnectionFactory() throws JMSException {
        SingleConnectionFactory singleConnectionFactory = new SingleConnectionFactory(tibjmsConnectionFactory());
        return singleConnectionFactory;
    }
}

@Configuration
public class MessagingServicesConfig {
    @Autowired
    private EMSJMSConfig emsJmsConfig;
    @Bean(destroyMethod = "shutdown")
    public MessagingService messagingService() throws JMSException {
        ...
        ConnectionFactory cf=emsJmsConfig.jmsSubscriberConnectionFactory(); // Getting NPE at this line.
    }
}

and finally the test class,
public class MessagingServicesConfigTest {
    private MessagingServicesConfig config;
    private EMSJMSConfig emsJmsConfig;
    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        config = new MessagingServicesConfig();
        ... //what needs to be done here to have the EMSJMSConfig
    }
    @Test
    public void testBuildsCorrectService() throws JMSException {
        MessagingService service = config.messagingService();
        ...
    }
}

A: By calling new you're creating object yourself, Spring doesn't know anything about it.
Moreover, you should have a test configuration which will be aware of your beans.
Use an appropriate Runner to load SpringContext.
@ContextConfiguration(classes = TestConfig.class)
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
class Tests {

    @Autowired // if needed
    private MessagingServicesConfig config;
}

While in TestConfig you can create beans or import configuration from the Application:
@Configuration
@Import({MessagingServicesConfig.class})
public class TestConfig {}

@Configuration
@Import({EMSJMSConfig.class})
public class MessagingServicesConfig {}

Or you can refer to your config classes directly:
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {MessagingServicesConfig.class, EMSJMSConfig.class})

Jadon Sancho caused Borussia Dortmund's flight to London to be delayed after he forgot his passport.
The German giants were on course for England ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League last-16 first leg against Tottenham at Wembley.
Take off was delayed while Sancho's passport was retrieved.
It will be the 18-year-old's first contest in his homeland at domestic level.
