I am not @Y2Jimmy0, so the most I can give you is this article on Yoelkis: https://www.espn.com/blog/onenacion/post/_/id/6868/the-cespedes-brothers-yoenis-and-yoelkis-are-not-quite-alike

Good as place as any to add this - Mas Cubanos.

https://www.milb.com/milb/news/minor-league-farm-system-rankings-position-players-10-1/c-312714824?tcid=tw_article_312714824 Obviously it will take a hit once Robert graduates, but nice to see.

Baseball is an expensive sport to play - you need someone to pay for cleats, a glove, a bat. You can get them all used for cheaper, but that shit adds up – and that's the bare minimum.

Speaking of Vera, this shit ain't subtle.

Nice to see the jump for Thompson and Dalquist - it'll be fun to follow them and Vera once he's in the organization. Now they just need to find a highly touted LHP on the LatAm market

Just adding onto the food real quick - Taco Guild in Phoenix. T+L named them some of the best tacos in America and damn, it's worth the detour if you want some tacos. The place is also inside a renovated church, so it's got a crazy vibe for a restaurant/bar.

Yeah, if our just-out-of-college 1B can be better than a prime Konerko in terms of power, hitting, and OBP...uh...I'll take that.

While it wouldn't happen to FutureSox, I've seen far too many friends lose their full time careers as journalists because people wanted content for free, so yes, it is a sore spot for people to ask for content for free directly from the source.

That was directed at everyone in the thread, so don't feel like it was targeted. I understand the reality of the situation - I'm a lucky journalist making a decent wage, but a lot of places need reader/listener support. What set me off is we have the writer posting the article / FutureSox's incredibly intimate relationship with this board.

This part of the list is just loaded with a lot of interesting names. Bush, Beard, Gladney, and Bailey could all be real fun names to follow this year, or we could forget about them by the time next year comes around. Still blows my mind that we have a player faster than Yoan, Robert, or Madrigal in the system.

Advantage: The sport could finally start marketing stars as everyone could finally see every star player. I'm sure the owners would like that.

Basketball travels that much to play 1 game. Granted, they play 82 games, but hey, that means the math almost checks out.

If you have any interest in Colas, subscribe. That's not even including the 6 other names.

Y'all can pay $2 to FutureSox for all the free content you get. It's incredibly poor taste to ask the author to give you paid content for free. FutureSox isn't BA, BP, FanGraphs, or ESPN. It's posters here operating on a shoestring budget to bring you A+++ quality content specifically for the team you love.

Or at least more balanced. Right now we just play the Tigers, Royals, Twins, and Indians too damn much. Instead of 19 against each divisional opponent and 7 against the other AL teams, do 16 against the AL Central and 10 against the AL East and AL West.

@Y2Jimmy0 and @Rankin, I'm getting an error whenever I hit the "Unlock for Patreon subscribers" button. I just get a Patreon URL with a whole bunch of code.

He's not draftable, he's an international signee. Most of the time, teams agree to deals with players before the signing period officially begins.

Touche

Well, now you're raising the speed on his arrest - not just in reality, from your previous post to this one. I'm not condoning it, but, c'mon man. Speeding 100 is bad enough without you needing to increase it.

I think Keuchel

Have we tried unplugging Twitter and plugging it back in.

Just gonna tag @bmags now

Dear God.

Yeah, that's not how it works anymore, not for billion dollar brands.
