Chill lol. They are at draft camp.

They also don't generally send the prep picks to affiliated ball anyways. They go the instructional league route in draft year. I know you are aware of this because you like to bring it up with Billy Carlson every chance you can.

Roch gets a couple weeks in Winston Salem then a month in Durham to close it? Hopefully rakes and looks ready for a promotion sometime next year.

Yeah, without the historic extra rookie ball team, most of these days stay in the Complex and play sims there against the other teams. Been like this for a few years now. Some guys will eventually plug into the holes of other teams, but most won't see action. We almost certainly won't see Thome and Prosek until next year. Roch will plug in somewhere. I expect we see the college pitchers log some innings here and there, while the college bats get used on an ad hoc basis, based on need.

I want to see him in AA with Bonemer. Or maybe let Bonemer toy around in Charlotte too in that dollhouse of a park.

I want to see him get to the Dash before August 1st so I can see him in person.

I thought I read somewhere that a few of the new guys were getting assigned to teams in the system. Maybe I dreamt it. And, even though I didn't say it, I meant the players with 3 years of college, like Roch.

Gotcha. I hope you didn't dream it. I would love to watch a Kanny team with Fauske, Prosek, Thome, and Carlson on it to be quite honest.

For reference, last year's draft class got their assignments on August 5th.

I think the signings/camp are a bit ahead of schedule this year though, so decent chance you'll either be right on time or juuuust miss him.

Bonemer HR.

Pereira has made a nice play in cf and roped a double.

Hays wall scraper HR

Question for James or anyone who’s seen/heard anything….is Carlson looking good defensively? Feels like I haven’t seen anything good or bad about how he’s been in the field, which is odd given the reputation.

Timmy has been impressed I know. I often tune out when they are in the field because there's no damn pitching to watch.

Edited by DirtySox

Kanny’s broadcasters rave about Carlson’s defense. I saw him make an error and he even looked good on that play. Ball took a weird hop.

McDougal not doing well for Charlotte. Bad night throughout the org

I know Fangraphs has him as a 40/70 FV for fielding. Not sure when it was last updated. Evidently they think he has a ways to go.

65-70 or he wouldn't have been picked where he was in the first with that questionable hit tool/power

Bonemer 3-4 with a bomb, and not a cheap one. The guy is going to be a freaking stud @Look at Ray Ray Run

Bonemer bomb and Roch took some sick swings on Hit Trax at the draft camp after debuting at the #5 overall prospect on the BA update. Today was a good day imo.
