    It's been close to 2 months on Sanchez, about 10 days for Touki. Who knows with the young guys; there's always a chance the organization just decided to shut them down early for some reason.

    Sanchez and Toussaint are officially on the Rome DL. Touki seems to be having a good time on his Twitter account.
    Also saw tweet that Tyrell Jenkins had strong side session recently.

    Riley 2-4 with a 2B and a HR. Kid has some huge power.

    Ruiz is 1-4 but with 3 more RBI. Man, great week for hitters in the system.

    Also had a BB. And Acuna is 3-5 with a HR, 3B, and 2B. Boy, is rookie ball watching fun.

    Already wondering where we start Riley next year I'm guessing Carolina, but I would like him to taste Double-A in 2016.

    Gonna be really fun watching Rome next year With Riley, Acuna, Yepez, Allard, Soroka, and hopefully Morales there.

    Yep. You're looking a lineup like
    C - Morales / Murphy (repeat?)
    1B - Yepez (18)
    2B - Dykstra
    SS - A. Salazar
    3B - Riley (18)
    OF - Ellison
    OF - Acuna (18)
    OF - Baez

    Pitching - Allard (18), Soroka (18)

    Just unreal talent on that team next year.

    My guess is the current Danville team is going to comprise about 3/4 of the Rome squad along with Allard and maybe a couple of holdovers to augment the pitching staff.

    I'm a big Riley fan, and I don't think they will completely skip Low A ball with him. The Braves scouts felt he was the best power bat in the draft this past year, and not only has he been the best power bat from the 2015 draft, he may be the best power bat from both the 2015 and 2014 drafts. His biggest power competition may be another Mississippi product in Bobby Bradley.

    Pretty sure Sanchez was injured. Other guys might have innings limits or are being gotten ready for instructionals.

    ? I can't imagine he'll start anywhere but Rome, and I'd imagine he'll stay there most of the year.

    Don't forget Herbert behind the plate if he's healthy. Don't know what to do with Tanner Murphy. Kind of a step backwards for him this season.

    You mean among HS bats? Schwarber would be the biggest overall.

    Eddie Perez spoke glowingly about him in spring training, but his bat has not come through. He hasn't shown enough pop to offset his lack of contact at this point. Yes, he has been the victim of a .230 BABIP, but a .110 ISO isn't enough for him at this point.
