The comp to Adam Engel was weird, though. Engel really struggled to hit in the low minors, but with some power and great defense. Burke is hitting .360.

Solo shot for Burke. I have to imagine that he's headed to W-S after the draft.

Is Reyes worth a shot in the on-going 4th/5th outfielder derby?

DSL Sox won again. Nice outing by someone named Denny Lima. In just short of 9 innings he now has an ERA of 2.08, 11K and 1bb. Have no idea if he's a prospect but he is only 18. Might be a follow?

I certainly fear him coming to the plate.

Lot of offensive for the two rookie ball teams. Not much pitching, except Anderson Comas who threw another scoreless inning. Anyone know what he throws? He's listed as a 6'7" lefty. That is an interesting profile.

I just cancelled. I do have a separate NYT subscription, unfortunately, I need to keep that for my work, but I'm done with The Athletic.

Kelly sucked, otoh, you're not going to win too many games with complete and utter corpseball except for one solo shot.

Man, when Kelly's bad, he's really bad.

He's there for his defense.

Alcantara's best start of the year... How many righties with a slider can say the exact same thing about facing the Sox?

Yeah, not concerned yet about a 17 year-old struggling to throw strikes. Encouraged by the 2.1 scoreless from Ysalla. Future Sox has him as an interesting sleeper. Alsinois is off to a good start. I think he may have a shot. Disappointed whenever Nunez Jr. doesn't play.

Oh good, another chance to watch Andrus "hit."

Eury Perez is the truth. Should be a tough game.

Nunez finishes 1-2 with a single and 2bb. DSL won their first game, but it only went 7. Could be first game of a doubleheader?

2 walks thus far for Nunez Jr. In 15 PA he has 5bb 2K. He may have too much plate discipline for the notoriously wild DSL.

Love the preview. I am, however, confused about Abraham Nunez Jr. The preview states he has "bat control and strike zone judgment from the right side" but MiLB lists him as a left-handed hitter. That would be more impactful in this system. Do we know for sure which way he hits? I believe I have seen video of him hitting lefty.

Here's Bowden on Morales, who he ranks as the 17th best prospect in the draft, keep in mind the Sox have shown 0 ability to improve hitters' chase rates: However, he does have swing-and-miss in his game, including chasing out of the strike zone, which should improve in professional ball. I’ve seen him struggle against breaking balls enough that I’d want him to take a depth perception test before selecting him this high in the draft.

Borrero with a hit, two more hits for Carlos Jimenez.

The last inning they scored 1 run aided by 2 HBP. They look dead at the plate like every other team in the AL Central. First team to start hitting runs away with it.

Arozarena HR off Duran, Twins lose. Sox 4 back.

Elly De La Cruz with his first HR a 458 ft mammoth blast into the last row of the Reds stadium and a triple. McClain single and a triple, hitting .341. This team is gonna be fun.

I have tickets to tomorrow’s game. I wonder if either will be played.

MiLB TV.

He’ll fit in with the entire lineup that doesn’t hit for power.
