Wow look at heads with the professional gamethread post. I'm giving you a trophy.

If a guy like Laz Rivera makes it, he’ll have beaten every projection along the way so I wouldn’t really worry about the grades being low.

Danny freaking Mendick just went yard in the tenth after booker tied the game with a double in the ninth. Mendick now has as many home runs (10) as he had all of last year in about a little over half as many games. At a more advanced level. In a difficult park for power.

I’m not so sure there is a true SS outside of Laz there, who is a bit old, but nice set of young infielders that was desperately needed. Really would love to know plan on Quintero if he continues to rake.

Are any of the college position players on the voyagers interesting to people? Tough to figure out the whole team at first.

Ugh and he was running bases like a fiend again too.

Adolfo and Rutherford doubles.

Jose Rodriguez in DSL, 1-3 with a BB (no ks).

EDIT: NVM i don't know how to link pictures. It was of monty burns brain and nerve tonic that made ken griffey jr limbs to grow

No idea. But quite surprised since he was promoted stateside ahead of Mieses/Comas/Guerrero. Maybe he came back horribly out of shape.

Well honestly I'd rather him be in DSL playing every day than on the bench save once a week. Granted I do not know if they have backfield games where he's playing more. Not really a fan of promoting a young player like that and then benching him, he is likely just filler but you never know with a player that young.

Wonder if we claim him a la Noesi

The only thing disappointing about that 2016 class this year has been that clearly Coronado, whom I thought could be a dude based on stats last year, must not be very good. He's getting little run as the 4th outfielder. But Comas and Mieses were more $$ signings and they are playing fairly well early. Excited to see AZL shake out. Hoping to see from this group either good contact rates or more xbh, as there is a lot of raw power down there.

Yes he had a nice write-up when he was signed. Last year he basically held his own and it seems like this year he's really matured. Would love if we could find some thoughts on him, maybe will be easier in a few weeks if he keeps it up.

Good stuff, thanks.

Delgado with another double. Mieses another 2 hits, and Weaver still hanging tough with a .300 average. oh and Sosa another 2 hits.

Phew, glad he’s in there game 2. Quintero is destroying again. With his age if he’s raking for a few weeks I wonder if they press him up a little earlier. also a little confused that milb has him from DR.

Dang I think Sosa may have been injured.

Hickman has been playing first for a while.

Monster day for Curbelo so far, 2-3 with a 2b and a HR

Adolfo just hit a 3 run homer

As we saw with Curbelo, key for these more raw HS kids is to keep them healthy so they can take advantage of the additional pro development.

For all the talk of hit tool, I’ve been impressed seeing Cabera Weaver taking some walks early on.

I hope Sosa wasn’t injured last night.
