Anyone seen Lambert pitch this year?  The numbers have been incredible and it sounds like he may have seen a velocity increase.

I asked about him the other day after noticing the same thing.  Not much out there on him.  Seems like a generic mid round RHP.  He's old for WS but he's dominating, hopefully his velocity did increase and his stock is up.

Adams gave up two homers in the first. Have there been any reports on him this year? His results seem much worse than usual.

He better change up something, as he is getting destroyed. Career path is of someone who isn't good enough to pitch in the majors.

Only a little over a week since me and others were telling people not to worry about Collins, now his OBP is over .400. Sometimes it really is as simple as the BABIP.

For him, it's literally about actually swinging the bat

Seems like he’s been striking out less lately as well.

He has been K'ing less, but by far the most notable statistical development for Collins over the past 10 days has merely been his balls put in play have started falling. It's not like he's radically altered his approach overnight.

Can you imagine if all 3 guys from the Sale trade make it to the bigs?  And if Basabe is a starter that trade would be ridiculous. 

You can almost bet your entire bank account that all 3 from the Eaton trade will, as 2 have already and Dunning does well at every level

100% this.  If you’ve watched him he’s been far more aggressive at the plate and you can see that by an improved K rate but slightly refucwd BB rate.  The quality of contact has also been much better.  It’s great that his BABIP has improved, but come on, I’m not overly impressed by someone predicting a sub .200 BABIP is going to return to the mean.  The improvement in his numbers as of late is tied to his change in approach and not some batted ball luck.

I look at him the same as Danish really. Good enough for AAA, not good enough to be ML starters (even LR is iffy at best).

The difference being Kopech and Moncada could be stars..but yeah that is pretty incredible that the Eaton trade already has 2 guys that should play key roles in the rotation (Top 4 at least) and 1 that is knocking on the door.

Even Rutherford has been doing well.  Some of these guys are going to fail, but so far this year MiLB has been fun to follow. 

For those of you with MiLB subs...what is the damage and are replays available to watch if you can't watch live?

Is Lincoln Henzman someone they might consider promoting earlier than the AS break? He's been really good at Kannapolis, and is advanced age for the level. Is he someone they might challenge and see if he's starter material?

He was drafted in what, the 4th round? They clearly saw his talent, so yeah, i'd say he's a potential promotion.
