Great story thanks. I’m sure he misses Adolfo in that locker room who I believe is fluent in English to help. There was a lot in Astroball on how big of a help Bregman and Beltran were in helping Spanish speaking players get comfortable (bregman speaks Spanish). Getz has done a good job building up these cultural coordinators and I hope we see it payoff as he’s been aggressive moving guys stateside.

Almost all of our best development recently has been in the majors so I think you are just putting off the inevitable by waiting.

I’m happy with madrigal focusing on good contact plus trying to maintain a 9% BB rate this year but I would like him to try to add more power to his stroke in the offseason. But O think most of his power improvements are going to be through approach.

Man I am so pumped to get to watch Roberts career

Usually one or two each year. Sosa was here at 17, Nunez was here before with one other.

Like Rodriguez success to date, it’s a nice sign. But a better sign is when they move them to AZL immediately without even bothering with DSL.

Benyamin Bailey and Espinoza have been very good in DSL.

I fell asleep, so they really won with a suicide squeeze?

3 doubles for Zangari

Robert is incredible

Benyamin Bailey 2-3. DSL pitchers gave up 13 walks.

well yeah, he may not be that good his first year. But let's keep in mind, PG is the hardest position to grasp. Frosh point guards aren't just adjusting to more mature, physical players, but also a faster more complex offense which they are in charge of running. And White was doing that at a blue blood program in the premiere conference in college. And he was very successful. Now he'll have to make another jump. But his ability allows him to be a force in transition game, but there is nothing that says he cannot learn how to manage his team with more experience in the half court. That he moves off ball shows he does have some feel for the flow, but he needs more reps.

I'm not saying they don't have any star potential, we don't really know the ceilings of any player. But I just don't think this is a brilliant play of denver running laps around others. There are flaws and risks to these players outside of injuries. And I brought up the foot injury because Embiid had a scary injury for a big man, but Bol has foot injuries and still needs to add about 40 lbs of muscle. And the draft slide of Embiid was ... 2 spots? He was third overall. Bol Bol was drafted 45th. There are questions in his ability beyond injuries.

If a star is ever amenable to actually joining the bulls, the bulls will know and can easily move porter and brogdon to open up requisite space, or Lavine.

I just think Brogdon adds defensive versatility, is a legit "3rd best guy on a championship team" imo, and could bring along white. If White is great, you can trade either Brogdon or Lavine for assets or an upgrade elsewhere.

Porter had multiple back surgeries before he was 20 and has barely played basketball in 2 years, and never played college basketball at as high a level as Embiid did at Kansas before getting injured. Bol had a foot injury, which is already hard for a big, and needs to add weight to his frame. He's not athletic enough to switch on the perimeter, so he'll largely be a gimmicky offensive player - maybe a good one, but in order for them to be stars they need to prove a whole lot more than they have, including staying healthy.

I don't know, I don't think either really have star potential anymore but may be regulars and Denver will eventually be able to acquire a star with all of the pieces they create.

Oh no we wouldn't have money to go after premium free agents.

I still think they should try to add Brogdon then maybe Ed Davis.

Damn this guy has power. 3-7 with two doubles and a homer. fun AZL box last night.

I’m confused by cavs going Sexton and then Garland

?

Culver can handle ball. I would be ok

I hope bulls stand the eff pat or trade back.

By playmakers do you mean facilitators?
