Minor League Thread Part Deux

I really think there is a near 0% chance Kim declines that options. It’s $16m. He’s unlikely to get that on the open market after the year he’s had.
He might be able to get a similar deal. 1 year around 10-15 mil with a 2nd year option. But yeah, he isn't getting a major pay day. It probably isn't worth the risk to decline the option.
 
I'm trying to discern who the Braves might be sending to the Arizona Fall League. Characteristically, the haven't sent a lot of their top prospects out there over the years (Baldwin last year an obvious exception) and have used the league to get more ABs/IPs for guys who have missed part of the season due to injury. Hackenburg fits in the latter category, but I'm wondering about other guys.

On another matter, John Gil starting at SS for Columbus tonight.
 
Braves in the Arizona Fall League:

INF Nacho Alvarez
INF Jim Jarvis
OF Patrick Clohisy
RHP Drue Hackenberg
RHP Luke Sinnard
RHP Cory Wall
LHP Jacob Kroeger
RHP LJ McDonough

Really surprised Nacho is on there, I wonder if that was something they set up earlier and pull him back after so much big league experience. Excited to see how Sinnard does. As usual, not a ton of interest for us.
 
Really curious to see how Gill does in AA to finish the year. He's been on a tear the past 2 months. He's legit at SS has 70 speed and has shown pop the past couple of months. This dude could be a huge prospect next year
Gil has plenty of range not surprising giving his twitch and speed. He definitely turned himself into a legit ss prospect. He's been a refreshing surprise with the bat though once he came back from injury. Gonna be interesting ss battles in the next few years.

We've been complaining about no SS depth and now it looks to be a huge strength going forward.

Agree on Alvarez. I imagine they are trying to get a comprehensive look at Jarvis. Clohisy has had a pretty good year. Hackenburg has missed time this season and they are probably trying to get him innings. Same with Sinnard especially because he didn't pitch at all in 2024 in his last year at Indiana. He looks like he might be a prospect. Kroeger, Wall, and McDonough are either way below slot signings or UDFAs. All have had some measure of success but Kroeger and Wall have been old for classification most of their minor league careers.
