  1. I also think the minor league hitting coaches matter more.  By the time you are in the majors, you have tens of thousands of swings so changing is hard.  Steverson's hitting camps are the right idea IMO to teach philosophies to the hitters on the way up.  I am old enough to miss Charlie Lau.  

  2. Tanner Banks was pretty good.  6ip 3 er 1w 10k.  At 25 in AA, this is a very big moment for him.  Left handed helps but like many fringe guys, produce or be passed over by the coming waves.

  3. You will also need to factor in 40 man issues.  We are going to have many close calls and will lose people we like the next couple years in the rule 5 draft.  I would not expect acquiring players who need to be on the 40 man right away(fall), maybe one, but expect most to be guys a couple years away from requiring protection.

  4. This has come up on several of our prospects, especially the foreign born ones.  With the pittance they are paid, it makes no sense not to have a free, healthy food spread at every level.  Teaching that for all the players would be useful and it doesn't have to be expensive.  Eating fast food is not only often unhealthy, it is expensive compared to cooking it yourself.  

  5. I was hoping it was just Henzman's day to throw and they needed a body.  Hickman's line was not impressive at 4ip 7ER 7h 2w 1k.  He is a year plus older than Henzman(Hickman 24yo. )   I remember him being a notable pick at the time.
