    Whalen and Gant having good starts. Aren't they the bums we acquired for KJ and Uribe?

    I'm happy to see they're doing well but to beat on your chest on how right you are after their first starts is kinda getting into thethe territory.

    I disagree. One start is all one ever needs to properly evaluate a prospect.

    I will say that these particular starts made me pretty happy in my pants.

    I'm glad you're joking. It was half facetious and I chimed in just the opposite other than saying they should at least be serviceable. Try again.

    Austin Riley up to Danville and goes 2-4. This guy can be very very special.

    My apologies. I thought you were trying to be one of the many know-it-alls we have on here.

    I don't want to get overly excited about Riley... But damn! I can't wait to see Pache and Cruz too. Yepez also could be a stud.

    Riley is a position of need to which is a breath of fresh air. Come 2017 he could be close.

    Don't sleep on Acuna. 17. Plays a premium position. Shows some speed and power. Very good strikeout and walk rates.

    Anyone know if we'll see Cruz or Pache this year at all?

    With the way the VISA process works, I'd assume not but who knows

    Acuna excites me a lot too. I just didn't know anything about him before this year

    One start eval is better than no starts, which is what everyone else judged them on
