6/10 FRIDAY'S MINOR LEAGUE THREAD ... Shaky starters BRILLIANT Friday

And I also should say that in a way the struggles in AAA from Albies and the midseason slump from Swanson are actually good in a way. If both player were hitting the cover off the ball and playing great defense (Swanson is playing good defense by the way, or at least solid defense) then there would be pressure from their agents and the players union to call them up midseason. But as it stand now, there is no pressure. Hopefully they'll both get red hot in August and maybe give them a cup of coffee in September if it doesn't change their status when they hit arb and all that stuff.

Albies is hitting around .270 over the last 10, but he's all over the bases. Swanson will struggle, it's early!

Fried looks soooo good.

Oh, and Riley is hitting around .320 over his last 10,

Oh, and Riley is hitting around .320 over his last 10,

Yep. He's getting the Ks down too.

I believe Anderson will sign quick. So when would he be assigned?

He doesn't graduate until June 23. Can't sign before then. Expect GCL for him.

EVERYBODY: For God's sake! Swanson's college teammate drowned. He took a three-day leave to attend the funeral; he was team captain when the kid was a redshirt freshman last year. This is not a slump; this is someone dealing with the real world, perhaps for the first time. Save your concern for the Everett kid's family. Swanson will be fine.

Far more than the low BA or high K-rate, I've been concerned about Riley's lack of power since the very beginning of the season. He's just not hitting anything out.
