7/21/2015 ACTUAL TUESDAY MINORS FINAL ... Sims making 1st AA start

[rico43]

Chattanooga had an 11:15 game today (I am official scorer, FYI) and at 8:30 a.m. I was knocking on doors down in Ringgold trying to sell radio packages for the upcoming season. Sorry if my attempts to make a living got in the way of your information.

Yepez is having a hell of a debut.

Rico, I'm just so disappointed your life doesn't revolve around us.

Acuna is also killing it an like nscapi has said before these kids are not hackers. They have solid k/bb ratios. Thats a great sign to me at such an early age.

[nsacpi]

No home runs yet, but indications of a good power/patience combo.

Lots of doubles so far so it will come.

I'm real interested in Acuna. He is listed as a CF. Guy has 5 steals already and is hitting for a LOT of power at such an early age.

Can he stay at CF?

Me too. .893 OPS with a 10 BB/9 K start looks quite a bit like Albies last year. Doesn't have the same hit tool but a lot more power. When is it ok to start getting excited about him? Will we see him and Yepez in Danville soon, like Albies last year? Or will they go there next year, or just start in Rome?

It seems like the plan for the international top prospects will closely resemble what they did with Albies. I would expect to see both of thsoe kids get a shot in the appy league this year.
