Interesting - Should we now project Grissom to be the American Acuna?

Harris is already the American Acuña. Grissom would have to be the American American Acuña.

Who is this Taylor Motter fella we signed a few days ago in Gwinnett? Dude goes 3-4 tonight with 2 HRs. Has a .900 OPS this season

I was wondering his too, but he is 33 years old

You mean Joe Dirt? I believe he played at Coastal Carolina. He’s had some success at the MLB level but played mostly in the minors.

You gotta keep on keepin’ on. Life’s a garden: dig it. You gotta make it work for you. good things will happen if you don't have no in your heart.

Tip your cap when a guy like that outworks you.

Ambioris Tavarez playing SS today, he's currently 2-2. Ignacio Benitez playing 3B again and is also 2-2. Our third round pick C Drake Baldwin also started 2-2 with a single and a double.

Tavares 4 for 7 through 2 games

Royber Salinas worth keeping an eye on? 19 starts between A and A+ this year and sports a 15+ k/9 with the typical high BB rate you see from guys like that. He's struck out over 1/3 of the batters he has faced this year. That's extremely impressive.

Drew waters has been on fire since leaving Gwinnett. Before tonight's 2-4 (0 k), he was slashing .338/.423/.676 as a royal. On the season now, he's hitting .274 with an .807 ops. He was pulled late, so he may be getting his shot in mlb

Conley 1-4 tonight, but on the season at time he's hitting .308 with a .913 ops. Nice to have SS's hitting at AA and A+

Talented kid. But take plate discipline numbers with <100 PA with a Texas sized slab of salt.

I remember when we acquired Travis DeMerritte (the first time) and he went on an extreme heater for us. He eventually cooled down and became what he was.

Another waters hit streak. Still has a k rate around 30 percent in aaa

1-1 tonight, and yeah k rate is high, 27.3% for all AAA PA this season

Why worry about him? He gone. I've thought he could be serviceable but he won't be a star. I believe that. I'm more excited about a.178 hitter in the minors than I ever was about him.
