That What Speed Do

Big Duff has been nails this year

I would think some team will take a flyer on the talent with a pick in the 2nd or sandwich rounds. Delvin Perez failed a drug test for a legitimate PED which made him fall to 23 last year, though that is not the same as an already 21 year old with some serious maturity issues. It's risky.

Seth Romero kicked off UH baseball team for starting an altercation yesterday. This comes after he was suspended a month ago for failing a drug test, violating curfew and a picture circulated of him with a bong in his uniform. The Red Flag has been waved.

Thank God

Who had a Danny Santana homer today?

In terms of prospect status, I consider 23 right at age/level for AA and anything younger is a bonus (21 or 22 in AA is usually a good sign). But, I try to consider everyone, because we see older players that are written off due to lack of prospect status become legit MLB talents all the time. Look no further than Mitch Haniger, or Ryan Schimpf for recent position players. Relievers are also different since most minor league relievers aren't considered prospects. You see MiLB relievers between 27-30 come up and have success regularly. Also, I don't write off players who have proven themselves to be elite hitters in the upper levels of the minors (but may have struggled in MLB, or not been given a shot). Those guys are always a click or two away from figuring it out. For players who are too older for the lower/middle level minor leagues, it is purely wait and see if they can perform at the upper levels of the minors to decide if they have a chance in the majors or not. If you are 23 or 24 in short season ball, the chances of this player making the majors are less than 1%.

After today, he is 7th in the MLB in fWAR. 3rd in the AL behind Trout and Judge, just ahead of Lindor. I believe someone (Trout or Lindor) will run away with it at some point, but that is not to takeaway with what Sano has done. If I recall, there were people saying he should be sent down after poor spring training results. That sure does look silly now!

Where is the Greene "only wants to go to San Diego" rumour coming from?

Count me in the camp that wants Greene at 1-1.

And he ended with 4.

Kyle Gibson is just not very good.

Hi Fellas

Buxton is absolutely overmatched right now.

Castro is a walk machine.

That was a very interesting route to the ball

Dang I missed this yesterday.
