First inning Cease was getting dinked and doinked around. Chip shot into the OF, infield single, and some horrible OF defense from Preston Tucker. The homer though, can't fault that one.

From yesterday's Kiley chat. Draft dope.

Nice to see a double and walks from Madrigal.

I'm hoping he's back by the end of the weekend.

Robert still out.

Oh. Winston-Salem gets to face Jackson Kowar tonight. Solid prospect. I like him more than Singer.

Robert still out. Is this the second game he's missed?

Can't just scout the stat line. As Law has noted:

If Adley makes it to three I'll be stupid hyped. I still expect it to go either Adley/Witt/Vaughn, or Witt/Adley/Vaughn. No matter the window, I feel like either KC or BAL won't pass up the best player in the class by far at a premier position. Timeline be damned.

Carson Fulmer also looked pretty good last night. Would like to see more opportunities for him.

I'm worried he breaks again if he returns to starting.

Hansen strikes out the side in his second inning of work.

Oops. That one was my fault.

Cordell is like the anti-Palka.

Mat Latos also has a cat named Cat Latos. That's probably worth at least another million in surplus value.

Steele Walker is ready for W-S.

What on Earth is this strike zone?

Also this makes Law miss Robert once again.

Robert out tonight. Though I expected as much.

There is certainly a chance. I think it's small though. He's by far the best prospect in this draft class. Premium position, well rounded, and continues to perform. Fangraphs has a 60 FV value on him. If he does make it to three, it's going to be a combination of both BAL/KC getting cute with saving money and distributing to later picks, and the fact that he might not "fit" the rebuild timeline.

Yup. He's the total package. Fangraphs would place him as the 16th best prospect in baseball if draft prospects were eligible for the list already. That being said, I'm still not optimistic he falls to #3. Would be floored if he did though.

Flores goes today. Would really like to see an uptick in the strikeouts with him. He'd be much more interesting if he could get that K-rate up.

Lambert out there carving. 8 K through 5.0 IP.

Hey. Another Gavin Sheets homer.
