Down in the DSL -

 

Yohan Matos ($280,000 bonus in July 2013, age 17): .310/.474/.517 in 38 PA

Frandy de la Rosa ($700,000 bonus in July 2012, age 18): .308/.351/.442 in 55 PA

 

(I might be missing a few PA since I just added AB and BB.)

I like Jeffrey Baez but I think Conway is a big-time sleeper.

 

The scouting report on his stuff thus far this season hasn't been as impressive for Conway as it was last season.

 

To be expected coming off his injury, no?

@AshMarshallMLB: Just in case you still had doubts about Kris Bryant, he hit 16 homers in Engel Stadium. Yes, THAT Engel Stadium. 471ft to CF w/ 26-ft walls.

Any word what Almora's issues have been? Is it too early to worry about his seeming lack of adjustment so far? Just a case of a high school guy hitting a level where his natural talent doesn't allow him to easily acclimate?

Did I read previously that Almora's dad has cancer or something? If so, that could be a factor.

Jeffery Baez seems too good for the Northwest League. He struggled there in a brief stint last year, and is just 20, but I've thought he would be in full season ball this year. I guess he's competing with guys like Dunston Jr, Martin, etc. for OF spots but he's better than both of them.

Yeah, but he was coming off TJS last year with better stuff. Have to worry if it'll bounce back after a second injury.
