Hoping low ball A players earn promotions soon

With Torkelson and Dingler moving up to AA, I sort of wonder if Lakeland Flying Tiger players are at all in line for a promotion to the Whitecaps. Gage Workman was 2-2 plus two walks as the only player getting a hit tonight. I have heard he's had a high strike-out rate, but is also consistently maintaining a top 10-15 stat mix across all of the stats - BA, OBP, OPS, Slugging Pct, as well as second in the league in stolen bases. Since he's 21 he's not the youngest prospect at low A, which has 19 and 20 year olds, and likely will see some 18 year olds after the June entry draft. Ideally, the Tigers' management thinks he's maybe ready to make a move to High A to keep the progression going.

I have read many complimentary things about Workman and hope that he can somehow catch up to Torkelson, Dingler, and Greene. Not trying to be greedy, but as a shortstop or third baseman he'd fill a hole with both power and speed on the bases.

Pitching prospects might also be in line for promotions. Wondering how that is looking; are inning limits in play more this year for the younger pitchers?
