Its great to have a system where you are interested in multiple players at every level. AA is a bit light right now but with Sims and Gant there now it becomes somewhat more interesting. Sucks that Ruiz has sucked this year.
 
Added note that Hellinger is starting early GCL game today. Wish I knew when we're supposed to see Allard.
 
Nice to see Azuaje back on the field. He had a decent abbreviated 2014 in the GCL.

Arias is another one who hasn't played yet. Listed on the Danville roster after a strong DSL season last year
 
I may be way behind on this, but did anyone have a reason for Braxton Davidson being on the DL?
 
Our minors are much better, but take a look at our AA and AAA lineups. We really need to upgrade our upper minors

At least that should take care of itself within a couple years. :)

Haha yeah, upgrading the upper minors is usually done after upgrading the lower minors with the simple passage of time. Adding big-time talent at the AAA and AA levels is just about impossible in today's climate.

Our lower minors is stacked. It's hard to be completely stacked like that all the way through. Just keep drafting well, sign guys like Maitan, and in 2-3 years, you're flat out loaded.
 
Jenkins needs to be considered part of the future in thenrotation. His stuff will play at the big league level.
