Any time Hula! Appreciate it.

For my minor league fans...I thought it would be a decent exercise to note some of the last five years of prospect EYE BALL observations I made during my yearly minor league trip experience. I cut back a lot, but I get to see many lower level prospects still and thought some of you might like a...

OK..I've tried to stay away from the IAN conversation but here's the thing..scouting reports can be fools gold unless you see them nightly or when they pitch.. So a scout with mlb said : It all starts with a plus fastball that he can still get up to 96 mph, thrown with good angle and downhill...

And they shouldn't. There is talent there but I'm not thinking it's otherworldly enough to push him. Again, I'm in the minority when it comes to him. He got away with things in the lower levels that will get him massacred at the next level. That said, I do think could be solid as a major...

😂😂. I'm always cautious of 2 pitch pitchers that are inconsistent in the zone. Both brothers sit about 95 consistently but that's where consistency stops. They have arm talent but I've always hated pitchers that seem to "whip" the ball. They both do it. That said, I do like Roddery's arm...

Nothing I relayed about Waldrep is a surprise. Devastating pitch that can't be touched. Problem is..he can't get to it. A straight gas FB means nothing without command.

What was Ian gonna figure out that he hasn't yet? New pitch..oh...toying with...oh...new velo...? The AAAA yo-yo train is nigh for the weak at heart. Me thinks it'll be busy this year.

Is this the trade Ozzie thing or too early?

Yeah. I know that's reality. But I was not on the fast track train for AJSS and it showed, talent or not. I think the rush or aggressive approach is warranted after a good marinate period. Hack needs at least a half year of success at AAA. Just my 2 cents. I'm sure he's going to see the...

Honestly,this is the way to go. I'm on the give Hackenburg more time. Other seasoned pitchers of the AA A variety are available.

I'd temper that..but we will see.

Cade Kuehler - easy mid 90's FB. That high leg kick tho... Jhancarlos Lara - screams reliever, but 2 very good pitches Herrick Hernandez - knows how to pitch.)I hate that term sometimes - but I get it) passable FB, good slider.. Cam Caminiti - easy one. Love his projection Carter Holton -...

Fuentes....so young. Talented. I like him. I've got about 6..lol.

Thanks Hula..I think you and 50 are the only ones who notice..lol. But seriously...I'm ramping up even more this year. Already got a crew going to Rome and Augusta I met while picking up adult beverages. I have a few prospects in anxious to write about.

Who's claiming he sucks?lmao. Saying he has sucked this offseason with so many question marks is not unrealistic.

This is an absolutely fair observation. Criticizing AA is not an unbelievable thing. This offseason has been ass. We will see if his hunches..feelings..thoughts are warranted fairly early. I'm not feeling this offseason but maybe he proves us all wrong. I'm pessimistic, but hopeful.

Best C prospect behind Baldwin. Power is real but needs to get to it. Needs a lot of work to remain at C, but I'm hopeful. He's big, but athletic enough that if his bat works and he doesn't progress at C, he can play a corner. I'm intrigued for sure.

I'm not even gonna harp on it, but I called this and a couple of us were told we were hating on AA. AA is not infallible and we owe him respect as a helluva GM...but trading Bill will always haunt me. Oh well...I do hope Murphy returns to form. That sitting crap Snit loved, cost Murphy. Last...

Man..they fall in love with the overall prospect but although his defense is improved he is not Langeliers defensively. He can call a solid game and he moves surprisingly well, but I'll be the lone one to say he's good...not otherworldly. And that's nitpicking.

Thanks 50. Everyone knows my prospect love for Tavarez, but Gil and Perdomo are right there. Guanipa too. They've all shown flashes, just not nearly enough. Fuentes is dynamite. You'll hear more and more as he matures. The ball explodes for real out of his hand. Definitely some pitching to...
