  1. In an overview. Anytime your AA team hits
    Davy Jones Locker in standings. That proves
    The talent level was robbed by injuries , promotions
    And good talent kept on championship hunt in high A
    Ball
    Luke. You know my one liners : kids below high
    a. Ball should be heavily scrutinized since
    Their maturation levels are so varied .
    Although we have found out why Jackson Reetz
    Was so loved going into draft .
    The DSL kids could best this summer the better
    Kids from other orgs including the DSL teams from
    Yanx, giants , ms…
    Good vibrations from those Latin arms
    Our short memory recall forgets
    Luke. Great job all season through rainouts
    DH make ups. Two starter games to infinity
    Lol

  3. Apparently The Groovin’ Aruban Oduber need improvin’. The low walk rate bothers me more than the K’s. Hope he picks it up and shows more promise at the AA level. I believe he’s a pretty high “bonus baby”. Checking the Big Board I know he was 32nd round. He got a pretty big bonus, though didn’t he?
