    Sometime soon. Couple weeks I think? I know they wait a couple weeks after the draft so the drafted guys can get on a team. Same with Danville. For all we know Maitan may start at Danville. Doubt it but who knows?

    Soroka is unbelievable. 5 IP 1 H 0 R 1 BB 5 K. Down to a 2.29 ERA on the year.

    Acuna has an RBI single. Demeritte has walked in both ABs.

    People just can't square Soroka up , and they get their ass struck out too.

    Pretty good combo

    If this continues you almost have to give him a shot to win a starting spot next year. AAA be damned....a 19 year old dominating like this will only learn at the big league level.

    If Soroka was 22, what he's doing would be impressive. That he's doing it at 19 after skipping high A is scary.

    Stuff aside. Soroka's minor league career so far has been about as good as it gets. ( He obviously has very good stuff). I've never seen the guy pitch personally but it appears he just attacks hitters relentlessly.

    Albies 2-5 with a single and a two-run triple. Zero strikeouts.

    The cool thing about Soroka is that he already has thrown quite a bit of innings for his age. He's got the pitching style to be a workhorse.

    If newk and folty can figure out how to be elite. Soroka and Weigel will make the 2019 rotation scary good. Still have JT and wright who should be ready. But I think Soroka and Weigel are going to just be solid work horse type pitchers. Great #3 to maybe good #2.

    Derek Lowe always springs to mind as I research Soroka. Though Lowe never had anything close to the K numbers in the minors Soroka is putting up.

    Soroka seems like some kind of freak control, strikeout hybrid. Will be interesting to see how it translates at higher levels.

    Sonny Gray might be a good comp.

    I'd be on board with a more durable and consistent Gray.

    I haven't seen a lot of Soroka, but the guy is putting up insane numbers. Where would he be on our list of really good pitching prospects?

    Allard, Soroka, Wright?
