Maybe KC saw the homer Pham hit last night and said to themselves, "That's what we've been missing, that verteranocity to spark this teams power."

Or the pirates are hoping Jack can hit a homer or 2 to make the Royals want him.

I think he deserves another chance. The Canario experiment had it moments in May, but he’s been awful now for almost two months.

Brazoban tripled and doubled. He’s 3 for 10 with two triples and a double after doing very little in the DSL. He’s matched his extra base hit total from the Dominican in 55 fewer at bats.

It might take him a while longer than most, he's got some long limbs.

would be massive if he hits (as a prospect), but also as a hitter of baseballs

I certainly look forward to this article each week AM, but I do have one suggestion to improve it. Could you please put the name of the affiliate and/or the level of the affiliate the prospect is currently playing with next to their name?

Thanks for all the hard work you do to help us enjoy being fans of this organization.

The Morel business is getting kinda funny. The Dodgers lost him to get Sasaki, who hasn't pitched in two months, has an ERA of 4.72 with only a couple fewer walks than Ks, and has seen his stuff drop off. And BA, which for months had him plastered all over their opening web page, now has him headlining their list of "fallers" in prospect rankings.

They need to add this in the draft in the 2nd or 3rd round.

They had Derek Shelton commenting while that kid was doing catcher drills lol

Can ask Murph, but I was commenting about his name the whole time lol it's just, so close

Perfect. We can insist he stay behind the plate then keep him in AAA because his catching isn’t good enough.
