[50PoundHead]

Rico is MIA and I'm too lazy to link all the games.

Early game in Carolina. Mudcats win 8-4. C Joe Odom with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Now has 7 HRs on the year in just over 130 PAs. 13th round pick in 2013 out of Huntingdon (AL) College. Wes Parsons gets the win. 4 ERs in 5 IP. 0 Ks, 1 BB. Andy Otero Kd 5 of the 7 guys he faced.

Comment From Colby
Would you move Albies up a level at the end of the season to see how he fares?




12:18
Kiley McDaniel: Maybe. That sort of thing normally matters more about how the kid will handle it internally, what his head will be like if he falls flat on his face and then go face the offseason with that taste in his mouth, moving while in a foreign country, etc. I get the impression these things aren’t issues for Albies, so I probably would but there’s a lot I don’t know before I’d be confident in that pronouncement




Comment From Mike C
Folty, A. Sanchez and Alex Meyer…starters or relievers long-term and could you rank them based on estimated future success?




12:34
Kiley McDaniel: Folty is by far the most likely to be a long-term MLB starter, so he’s the best of the group. Meyer’s stuff in relief is absurd. It could end up being a 70-80 fastball and 65-70 breaking ball, which would be a good bit better than Sanchez’s relief stuff, so I’ll take Meyer 2nd
