You need look no further than the Dodgers.

I think I harped on this last year, but with hybrid work being a thing, I really wish MiLB spread affiliate games throughout the day.

Left handed, short second baseman from Cuba that we all know and love, Yermin Mercedes.

Elite defense:

Zach is MVP DeMar's daughter is a very, very close #2

Well, it...shouldn't be a shooting foul.

This Caruso vs. Siakam call is an all-time botch.

Pat Bev with the rebound of the season.

Zach trying to will this team to victory.

So glad that instead of trading pieces away at the deadline and attempting to keep their pick the Bulls decided to make a push for this game.

Looking at him, you can see his got a lot of strength packed in that frame.

For some reason I'm watching this so I can be let down twice today.

Make Elvis and Alberto sweat.

Oh yeah fair point.

At this point...are we the baddies?

Everyone grow Abe Lincoln beards.

After one game, I'm convinced. Call up Chappy.

If Gavin ever goes on a HR tear, trade him immediately after to maximize value. Please.

Oh f*** that is a nasty hit on Farmer.

Now we learn if April Abreu was a weather thing or not.

Oh most def. Any arm that got mildly interesting would flop and/or get snake bitten (RIP Ian Hamilton). I'm willing to give Katz a little bit longer since the pandemic had to slow down development for recent signings/draftees + hoping Shirley's philosophy change bears fruit. The current crop of arms is more exciting than probably the entire post-World Series to pre-Rebuild era.

Here we go: - Cease went from "maybe he'll be a BP pitcher?" to Cy Young contender here. - ReyLo had success in his first year as a starter with the Sox - why would they have given up right away on that? - Giolito's star was fading fast and then he was an All-Star and Cy Young vote getter. - You said they developed no one. So yes, Jimmy Lambert, Davis Martin and Rodon count as much as Cristian Mena. And I say this as someone that loves what Mena's doing and purposefully went to go watch him in person last year.

It'll be interesting to see how the pandemic has also affected the development of some arms in the system.
