All Times Eastern
 
Enderson Franco just being used as a starter around what seems like every level in the minors this year. He's older but he also dominated at Gwinnett. Any chance of a diamond in the rough there?
 
Anderson struggled in the first inning but seemed to settle down after. Needs to cut down on walks. Herbert with ANOTHER homerun and is really bringing it. Would be cool to have a stud catcher catching Allard in the majors with them being HS battery mates
 
Austin Riley is killing A+ pitching right now. However, he'll have to shorten his swing to be a success at the higher levels I believe.
 
Updated numbers: Acuna 40 K/7 BB. Riley 33 K/5 BB. Jackson 32 K/5 BB.

I want to be excited about these guys, but those are some painful numbers to look at.
 
strikeout rates are elevated throughout the farm system....both for our pitchers and hitters...whats up with that
 
Updated numbers: Acuna 40 K/7 BB. Riley 33 K/5 BB. Jackson 32 K/5 BB.

I want to be excited about these guys, but those are some painful numbers to look at.

I think (hope) that those numbers will shake out a little better as the season goes on, since these are pretty young guys recently promoted. AA ball next year will be a big test.
 
Updated numbers: Acuna 40 K/7 BB. Riley 33 K/5 BB. Jackson 32 K/5 BB.

I want to be excited about these guys, but those are some painful numbers to look at.

Although I know that as the young guys move up it'll bring out flaws that weren't visible in the lower minors, I'd be patient with Jackson and Acuna especially since their walk rates were never a big issue.
