I'm already getting familiar with the 2020 draft class. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2020-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0

One wonders if we start to explore an extension on someone like Cease at some point this season? Or perhaps a trade for an established player that they then extend? a la Goldschmidt?

He's back in the lineup today for a minor league game.

He looks pretty much like he always did in my opinion. He's never really looked like the definition of peak performance. Looking forward to following his return.

Keith has been cautiously optimistic for some time now on Giolito. From the beginning of last year's spring training at least. Consistently mentions the White Sox trying to undo what Washington did to his mechanics/delivery.

28th to the Brewers.

LEARN TO EMBED FLAVUM.

Totally. Just making light of the injury issues that have ravaged the farm.

Nope. And I'm bullish on Madrigal.

Oh. I didn't realize it, but we have an Oregon St/Cal series this weekend. Tune in for the Adley/Vaughn at bats!

"Head cold" is code for Tommy John right?

Cease will be up as soon as the contract extension is worked out mid-season.

There were some more interesting draft tidbits in yesterday's Kiley chat for those that are interested. Pulled them out below. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-3-20-19/

I'm starting to raise my eyebrow at Hunter Bishop. He has major helium. I think I might prefer him to Misner at this point. The defensive profile seems much better too. I wonder if Law will have anything on him after seeing him yesterday.

BA has it's Mock 3.0 up. Looks to be paid only. I'll post the top three with blurbs in addition to a list of the top ten for those interested. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2019-mlb-mock-draft-version-30/ 4. Marlins: CJ Abrams 5. Tigers: Bryson Stott 6. Padres: Riley Greene 7. Reds: Matt Allan 8. Rangers: Kameron Misner 9. Braves: Hunter Bishop 10. Giants: Josh Jung Willing to answer any mock questions for those that have them. It's the entire first round.

Also, here's the Hunter Bishop blurb for those who want to get familiar. He jumped from 119 to 13 overall.

Baseball America's draft list now extends to 300, along with updated rankings. Going to quote some of the text associated with the changes. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-draft-prospects/ Updated top 10. 1.) Rutschman 2.) Vaughn 3.) Witt 4.) Abrams 5.) Misner 6.) Stott 7.) Riley Greene 8.) Corbin Carroll 9.) Jung 10.) Espino

Holy moly. This is my guy.
