    I figured Swanson would be in Mississippi and Albies would be in Carolina.

    Why is Swanson in A Ball with Carolina right now? Doesn't he certainly seem ahead of his development??
    Development? He has played in exactly 22 pro games before the start of this season.

    Sims could surprise a lot of people this year.

    Hursh looks pretty bad...don't think he'll ever be anything good. He doesn't appear to have any plus pitches. Not sure how he got drafted in the first round.

    Only watched the first inning on Rome so far. Soroka's breaking ball is ridiculous. Ump is giving him the outside corner so not surprised he struck out 7. The hit he gave up in the first was bull****. Ellison made a turrible diving attempt that I think a lot of left fielders not the size of Ryan Klesko catch standing up. Only saw 1 swing from Acuna but first impression I like his swing. Definitely not a slap hitter.

    We could have possible double digit prospects in the top 100 come midseason.

    Some really nice performances. I'm hoping Dustin Peterson can have a good season in Mississippi. That Rome squad is simply loaded. Outside of the top-tier guys, I'm curious to see how Alejandro Salazar and Ray-Patrick Didder do. Bladimir Matos was "badimir" in the GCL last season, but he must have something to jump Danville. He was signed with some of the money they got in the La Stella deal and he's a little older than most of the Latin American signings, so it will be interesting to see how he does.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I would think that neither Fried or Toussaint would be in Rome long if they perform well, but that Rome team has a chance to win a TON of games this year.

    Weigel is a guy that should move fast as well. I'd like to see Allard, Fried, Toussaint, Soroka, and Sanchez a few times at Rome before Fried and Toussaint move to Carolina.

    The commentator in the Rome game said Allard should join Rome in about a month. I would guess they changed something in his delivery to try and prevent the injury from recurring and he needs more time to adjust to it in extended spring training.

    Winkler and Gant could also contend for the rotation in a year or two.
