DSL Sox won 5-4, raising their record to .500, so they still have a shot at the AL Central.

Texas signed both Semien and Seager and lost 90+ games. I think bringing in a winning manager meant a lot there.

How far was Texas from Texas last year? There's a reason they had the fourth pick of the draft.

Franklin 1H 2K. He was followed by UDFA Luke Bell who allowed 2H (1 infield) had a wild pitch, but struck out the side.

Harrison has struck out 4 of 6 guys. 10th rounder Zach Franklin now pitching for the Sox.

15th rounder Carlton Perkins starts for the ACL Sox.

They are facing a rehabbing Kyle Harrison, so a good test for your first game as a pro.

19th rounder Caden Connor and 13th rounder Ryan Gelanie also in line up.

Sprinkle is in the line up for ACL rehabbing. K in his first ab.

If only he got to face the Barons pitching staff.

Yeah, I just looked up Snell's numbers. That man has earned himself some serious $ and probably a trip to NYC to pitch for the Yankees or Mets.

DSL wins game 2 19-1. Sweep DH by a combined 34-6. Reyes 3IP 2H 0R 0ER 1bb 5K. Mogollon 4-4, HR, 2b, 5 rbi. Flores 2-3, bb, currently hitting .417. They got 16 hits and 11 bb as a team.

DSL Game 2 underway. Mogollon 2-2, HR. His scouting report was bat-first MI, and that seems to be true. He'll be an interesting follow when he gets stateside.

That 2000 team was really fun until their entire rotation got hurt.

DSL win game 1 15-5. They walked 9 times and were 7-15 w/RISP. Gonna win a lot of games doing that. Game 2 upcoming.

Ha ha, there's a rain delay in Biloxi with 2 outs in the 9th of a 14-1 game. Birmingham has to drive home after the game. Forfeit! Btw, they got swept in the 6 game series and their pitching was crushed every night. Sox farm does not have a lot of impact even after the trades.

But doesn't he have immigration hoops to jump through, establish residency in the DR, apply to MLB to be eligible, etc? By the time all that stuff's done, won't he be in the next signing period?

I love James Fegan.

Birmingham currently getting smoked 14-1. Jackson Chourio bomb. It scares me that we're sending the best arms in the system -- Mena, Thompson, Kelley, and now Bush and Nastrini into a situation where no one seems to be able to throw strikes and no one is getting any better.

Charlotte already lost and Birmingham is getting thumped, combined scores 22-2. Birmingham has given up a 10 run inning thanks to a lot of walks. There is no mound help on the farm.

Kelley imploded again 0IP 1H 5R 5ER 4bb 1HBP. Pitching development is horrific all around, but the staff in AA is especially bad. Everyone takes a major step back when they get there.

Would be fine. Freeze control. It's not like they're going to be good for the next two years anyway.

What's the harm in trying? We might derail the progress of a middle reliever with 3 years of control?

W-S stormed back with a 6 run 9th to win 7-2. Kanny held on 2-1. Winner for the Ballers was Ben Beutel a soft-tossing lefty sidearmer. I want to live in a world where pitchers with non-96 mph fastballs with perfect spin rates can also succeed because I like weird, but I fear that world is not this world.
