Just like the major league clubs, the minor league clubs often use their All Star breaks to rearrange their rotations. So I wouldn't put any money down on any date until things get going again.

He gets surprising run on the slider. Most guys get arm side run on their slider, but his works glove side, and that seems to really throw off hitters to see slider spin from a right-handed thrower that breaks toward the left-handed batting box. That's....that's what a slider is supposed to do. Right? Or am I taking crazy pills?

Basabe absolutely dominated High A as a 21 year old. I feel like he’s getting penalized way too much for repeating the league despite the fact his struggles last year were tied to an injury. I can understand a kid like Florial being viewed at the better prospect, but I don’t see that much of a difference if I’m being honest. Basabe is a year older and may not have as loud of tools, but he provides a very similar skillset IMO.

Oh I agree, I think all of Rutherford, Adolfo, & Basabe will crack some top 100 lists in addition to Collins. I’m just surprised that Zack is not on there despite being 3rd in the Southern League in wRC+ as age approximate 23 year old. As a 1B prospect alone he should make it IMO, the fact he might be able to stick at catcher only adds value.

The Futures Game definitely didn't hurt his reputation

I think the MLBPipeline mid-season list will have a few more guys. Hansen, Rutherford, & Collins would be my guesses.

July 19, 20187 yr Law just came out with his top 50. Eloy #3, Kopech #9, Cease #31, Robert #36, and Adolfo honorable mention.
