I didn't know where else to put this, Montgomery is now 99 in BA's Top 100. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2022-top-100-prospects/

I saw him in two games in W-S, and I’ve watched him on MiLB, he clearly has shaken the rust off and should be at a higher level. How high? Who knows? I think he’s a future MLB hitter and that the future is soon. My question is more upside. I would guess high average, some power but he’s not Yordan Alvarez. I wish they would move him to AA and stick him in rf. Hard to tell whether the arm plays there until they try it.

I’m hoping prep bat. I don’t think there’s first round value in most of the college arms other than Prielipp.
-
Veras hit another hr and a triple. He’s been on fire this week.
-
Colas not in the line up today.

I saw Sooner yesterday in person in Kanny. Cubs affiliate has a lot of big righties, he baffled them with the off speed at times, but there was a far amount of hard contact. A college lefty who can change speeds in lo A should be successful. I’m reserving judgment until he faces more experienced hitters.

Love how aggressive you went with Hernandez. I didn't have the guts.

I did my top 20 on the plane back from NC this weekend: 1.Montgomery 2. Colas 3. Sosa 4. Vera 5. Ramos 6. Mena 7. Burke 8. Kath 9. Jose Rodriguez 10. Thompson 11. Kelley 12. Cespedes 13. Davis Martin 14. Romy Gonzalez 15. Erick Hernandez 16. Chappelli (aggressive, right?) 17. Mieses 18. Dalquist 19. Yolbert 20. Stiever Just missed: Veras, Bailey, Gladney, Quezada

At Kanny game. Bailey has smoked the ball every time up. Homer for Veras. Team looks sharp. 6-1
-
I was at Winston game again tonight. Colas had a great game, 4-5 with a double. Clearly he is not long for that level. Mieses only 1-5 but he hit the ball hard several times. Still, Montgomery was the most impressive guy. 2 hard hit singles including a screamer to left with the bases juiced. He looks good in the field as well. Ramos sat. Thompson looked better than his final line suggests
-
Colas 4-5, Montgomery 2-5
-
Thompson laboring a bit 5 hits, 2 runs so far. Not especially hard hit. Up to 96 with a really good curve.
-
Montgomery 1-1 single
-
One more thing: if Sosa is enough better than Leury that he hits 7 spots ahead of him, doesn’t that imply he should get more at bats on a daily basis?
-
Ha ha. From not playing to hitting lead off. WTF? Naturally, Sosa can’t play instead of Leury, he has to supplement “the Franchise.” Anyway, I hope the kid can get his first hit before they send him back down. #firemenechinotandlarussa
