Winston-Salem, Kannapolis and Great Falls have all been having trouble hitting the ball. Need some guys to take that next step up in 2020, just not a lot of good bats, or at least consistent bats.

Tough loss for DSL team, Navarro gets hit in the 9th, he has come through more often than not. Oh well.

Yep, give me the CF kid Laureano too.

Juan Uribe, likely not, did not have 2400 plate appearances before doing it

Ray only hit 20+ twice. I wondered about Don Buford but he did not either, even with the Orioles.

Extended Spring training "minor league games" do not count. They get players who are repeating Rookie ball ready for Rookie ball after the draft. Feliz played in those games, but not legit games in any specific league.

No, he did not. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tatisfe02.shtml

I do not believe extended spring team is same as the AZL team. Extended spring team is all the players that end up at Great Falls and AZL after the draft but not newly drafted players. Before that they play other teams in the same area with some of those players. They are the players that are in at least their 2nd year with the Sox (but not in Kanny or above), before we add a lot of draftees as you said in June.

He was called up to replace Varnell who was promoted to W-S. Frare was sent to W-S too and McClure went on the IL

If he has the right makeup to be a closer type I do not mind him staying there. Guess you want him to work some innings though to work on all his pitches. Either way, but seems he deserves a shot.

Veloz, I think a 2019 signee, has been lights out for the DSL Sox. Another save today, ERA under 1.00

Found this under Wikipedia. Not seeing any exemptions for full season injuries. Maybe someone else will have a better idea than I. Selection eligibility[edit] Players are eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft if they are not on their major league organization's 40-man roster and: were 18 or younger on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is the fifth Rule 5 draft upcoming; or were 19 or older on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is the fourth Rule 5 draft upcoming. These exemption periods (one year longer than those in effect previously) went into effect as part of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in October 2006. The change took effect immediately, exempting many players from the 2006 Rule 5 draft even though they had been signed in some cases more than four years before the new agreement came into effect. Prior to the rule change, players were exempt from the first two or three Rule 5 drafts held after their signing (regardless of the year they were drafted), rather than from the first three or four Rule 5 drafts after their signing.

Pretty sure those injury seasons still count towards Rule V time. Guessing we have to protect him or he would be available to that draft. I could be wrong.

Yep, he and Heuer have been real good at AA of late. Lindberg is another, if he is healthy he could be a stud. He has been lights out the past couple weeks.

Heuer is one I expected to see. Closing at AA and good fastball.
