Yeah and stiever. The others are just a pleasant surprise if I remember. Martin is entertaining. Reliever wise basically only Perez is doing anything for me.

Yea Stiever I was on that train for a while.

But same thing about Martin. He's a fun follow as he reminds me of good Rex, bad Rex in his outings. I always post about that guy every outing he has. Another guy I like alot who doesnt get enough love (even from FS) is Bilous who pitched tonight. 

no video of Roberts bomb?

Farther than Eloy's moonshot.

With that win, the Knights are now a half game back of a wild card spot for the playoffs. Only 3 back of 1st in their division I believe. 

I don't want Robert, Madrgal, Collins, promoted yet.   I actually like watching Charlotte more than the White Sox.

Same. It's too bad Detwiler is pitching adequately now. He would be very helpful for the Knights right now.

It's appreciated what you do.

Robert is a CFer with 40 homerun power. Insane.

This would normally be the point where I'd say I'm a bit concerned about Vaughn, but I've done this long enough to know to take draft year stats with a massive grain of salt. He should start 2020 in Winston-Salem. 

(Maybe I should give Yolbert Sanchez the same benefit of the doubt but A+ is way better than DSL) 

WTF? Vaughn has like an .860 OPS in High A after playing a college season. He's fine and will and should start in AA. 

If you’re worried about Vaughn’s minor league performance thus far, you’d be having a panic attack with what Rutschman has done thus far.

Or Witt.

i am really impressed with Abrams’ moving to single A though.

Maybe it’s a good sign we were most connected to him & Vaughn.

And just so we can all chuckle at Jack’s overreaction a bit more, Vaughn has a wRC+ of 140 at W-S despite a .282 BABIP.  He also has more walks than strikeouts.

Our prospect Jose Rodriguez is having a better season than Witt Jr. in the same league and is nearly a full year younger (11 months). Not saying he's a better prospect at all, but it is fun to look at. 

Yeah I’m not really concerned about any of em. Draft years are a bit boring. Think about how much life change these guys are dealing with. Vaughn has moved 3 times.

He's gonna have a 40-40 season

I'm not, but I'm honestly concerned if he's not hitting at least .300 with a .900 OPS at every minor league level. It's really hard to justify that pick if he's not making a mockery of the minors. He should look a lot like Luis Robert has this year, without the Triples. If he doesn't have a 2019 Robert-esque season next year I'll be concerned. He has little margin for error with the bat. 

13 games....step away from the ledge my man.

His wRC+ is 140. Leagues matter Jack. 

He's actually been really unlucky on his way to that 140 too.

How confident are you that Vaughn will start in AA next year?  I would love that, personally.

Pretty much guaranteed I would think.

What's the difference between him and Madrigal/Robert? It seems like Vaughn is on a similar path as those two guys, just a year behind. Both of them started in A+ this year.

Is it just because of how advanced they feel Vaughn's bat is?  Or will Vaughn be getting more time in A+ this year than Madrigal got last year? I can't remember.

Yeah to be honest I wouldn't be that shocked if they re-started him in A+.

If he doesn't start there he surely won't be long for A+
