Carlos Perez has had an excellent start to his season, who knows if it’s for real though.  Regardless, he’s only 22 years old and that’s actually on the young side for a catching prospect in High A.

I like him. He doesn't walk often but also doesn't strike out (sound familiar?). For a defense-first catcher at an age-appropriate level, that's sort of intriguing

Bush has had a disastrous start to his season, but I hope they don’t panic and send him to extended.  Let him take his licks for a few more weeks and hope you start seeing some gradual gains.

Chris Carter did similar back in the day. He had a strong rookie ball debut after getting drafted in the 15th round out of high school. They put him in Kanny for his first full season and sent him down after 13 games of .130/.231/.261. He mashed in Great Falls and then mashed in Kanny the following year. Carter ended up having some productive seasons in the majors so even if they send Bush to extended before Great Falls, it's not a big deal at all.

Mederios really struggling with his control. 

Sox got some good arms from the left side in the bullpen picture but Medeiros should be working out of the pen sooner than later.

It's actually impressive how good Madrigal's stats look against how he's actually looked. He hasn't even gotten hot this year despite how his slash will look after today. SSS I know. I did not like what I saw from his hack this weekend.

You're not wrong. There's not walking, then there is posting a .298 OBP with a .290 average over nearly 300 PAs. That's actually impressively bad plate discipline. 

That said, Perez has 6 BB's in 23 AB's (including his 2 PAs tonight) in W-S this year. Last year had 4 BBs in 276 ABs at Kanny.

On the contrary, Courtney Hawkins.

I take it you saw The Little Magician in person. What did you dislike about his swing?

Rough start, but so young, not too shocked
