Jesse "The Body" Franklin V with his 7th HR this month for Rome. Big month after a slow start.

Harris' ops dropping... right at .800 now

[Carp]

Vaughn Grissom trying his best to move into my top 10 prospects like Strider already has. Very good defensive SS with a rocket arm showing some pretty elite on base skills.

[CJ9]

Michael Harris sitting at 3.4 BB%. Would be really nice for that to start improving soon.

Ops is dropping. Not terrible, but now below .800

So…chances are he isn’t a LHH Acuna, which we all knew wasn’t likely. Hopefully he’s still a stud who needs to improve his approach.

With a name like that, there’s no chance he isn’t a player.

I hope I'm wrong and I think Harris will still be a good player, but he's another guy who is probably a level above where he should be. Basically skipped Low-A due to the pandemic and even though he was at the alternate site last summer, that wasn't really baseball. He's playing in a league full of college guys and repeaters and is three years younger than the average player in the league. Baseball is all about learning to make adjustments and I guess I'm one of the few who still believes that players need a strong foundation underneath them before they are able to do that. I would have started him in Augusta (like they did with Grissom, who was also at the alternate site last summer) and moved him up if he tore through that league.

[Russ2dollas]

I think most said Harris as next acuna was silly. It's hard to be a top 10 player in the game.

He is still very young and performing well on an advanced level for his age. I think he is still a great prospect and has a reasonable outcome to be an impact bat and plus defense in a corner. But he's going to be a guy who takes 2-3 more years to get there.

Stud baseball player or owns a service station in rural Alabama.
