THURSDAY MINORS FINAL 7/5/2018: Touki, Zim win after promotions

Love small sample sizes. Graffanino's defense earns raves after he's drafted, but there are concerns about his bat. Currently, his OPS (.921) is higher than his fielding percentage (.820). I think one of the issues with his fielding thus far is that he was playing 2B at Washington this season and the Braves have him at SS. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in Rome at some juncture later this season.

Seems like Riley Delgado should've been promoted from Rome already. That would be a good way to open the door for Graffanino.

I was a bit puzzled that they let him start the 7th. He wasn't cruising, but his pitch count was getting up there. I guess 100 was his limit. I'm optimistic about Toussaint, but my guess is he is going to have big adjustments at each higher level.
