I see Roney's High A debut was impressive. Salazar; not so much.

[nsacpi]

Fredito with an RBI single in his first rehab at bat in the GCL.

Fredito with an RBI single in his first rehab at bat in the GCL.

The real indicator on his effectiveness is how much better the guys are hitting around him!

[thethe]

And of course the GCL scores 8 runs in the first inning. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

[nsacpi]

Like the major league team, the GCL teams started scoring more runs several games ago in anticipation of Fredito joining them.

[nsacpi]

Home run Fredito. GCL Braves with 13 runs so far as joy over Fredito's return overflows.

[IslandBrave]

Yepez with another solid outing.

Also, what's the word on Bradley Keller. He's started out solidly at the plate.

[msstate7]

Home run Fredito. GCL Braves with 13 runs so far as joy over Fredito's return overflows.

I like this kid. He might be pretty good

[50PoundHead]

Football game in the Gulf Coast League today. I hope that decision to go for 2 doesn't come back to haunt the Braves.

Big day for Alejandro Salazar who is hitting .319 after his last AB.

[50PoundHead]

Yepez with another solid outing.

Also, what's the word on Bradley Keller. He's started out solidly at the plate.

Don't know much about him. Wasn't really on the radar of any of the services I read prior to the draft. He is playing well.

[50PoundHead]

Isranel with another HR. I may become an Isranelite.

PS--Angel Perez--playing mostly 2B and a little SS for the GCL Braves--is an interesting case. Braves drafted him out of a Puerto Rican high school in the 35th round in 2013. He opted to go to Eastern Florida State CC. I couldn't find stats on him for either of those years. At any rate, he wasn't drafted in either 2014 or 2015, but signed with the Braves as a free agent after the GCL season started. He's having a nice start. 3 hits today puts his average at an even .300 in just over 60 ABs.

[Tapate50]

Lot of reasons for optimism in the lowest levels.

Local kid (for me, that is) from about 35 miles from me. Athletic with some speed. Was a WCU commit before the Braves scooped him up. 2015 Perfect Game Honorable Mention All-American.

Isranel with another HR. I may become an Isranelite.



Seems to be a young Rob Deer. Were you a Deerite in your youth?

This guy has 12 hits on the year, with 4 of them home runs.

Got to see him play as well, very athletic kid.
