With all these hitting prospects, Black is going to end up being a perennial 20 game winner.

[gocubs2118]

If gameday was close to correct, Baez's HR went about 450ft to dead center.

 

CF didn't even move.

[Gmoney08]

Just for a moment I'm going to indulge in the fantasy that this is real and that the front office actually is really good at player development *and* they've accumulated the best collection of young hitting prospects baseball has seen in several decades and it's all going to go according to plan.

 

Isn't life more fun that way?

 

This night is a fantasy turning into a wet dream.

 

 

 

Soon we will lose our real virginity!!

Opposition hitting at AAA, AA, and A+ at the moment, with Baez, Bryant, Russell, Almora, Schwarber and maybe Soler & Vogelbach all due up next inning. Calm before the storm.

 

 

4/7 , 2 HR

[Guancous]

Hey Kyle, hurry up and say something bad about Almora.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hey Kyle, hurry up and say something bad about Almora.

 

He's struggling to get his OPS to .700 in A+.

[gscool89]

Kris Bryant with a measly double the other way

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bryant with a lame double...

[Guest]

Hey Kyle, hurry up and say something bad about Almora.

 

He's struggling to get his OPS to .700 in A+.

He's in danger of Schwarber's BA being higher than his OPS.

[Guest]

lol this is ridiculous

 

Just woke up from a nap, checked Twitter, and couldn't wait to see how ridiculous this thread was

Soler's OPS is more than double his.

Tis a lovely night in Minor League Box Score Land.

Has Soler made an adjustment to his swing? Despite his massive size, he's never shown this much game power. Theo even mentioned once that his swing was very level and more geared towards line drives and grounders. I wonder if he changed something because this is really impressive.

Poor Dallas Beeler. No love for his one hitter through five.

At the very least I think he has put on a good amount of muscle

Yeah maybe he's just so [expletive] huge his line drive swing is now resulting in homers.

 

I get confused with minor league playoff scenarios, but I see Tennessee is under .500 and Iowa is above. Would be sweet if Russell and Soler get called up to AAA for the PCL playoffs and the top 4 dudes are all in the same lineup.

Fujikawa with a scoreless inning a for Kane County..

Tennessee is at .500 in the 2nd half, which is a 3-way tie for 1st in that division, while Iowa is a half game out of first in their division, so the playoff probabilities are probably about the same.

Baez with a double down the line

[Guest]

Alcantara - CF

Castro - 3B

Rizzo - 1B

Soler - RF

Bryant - LF

Baez - 2B

Russell - SS

Castillo - C

 

3 of these guys are already in the major leagues

 

even if a couple of the minor leaguers end up as only middling/average players, that's a ridiculous lineup

 

and like no salary lol

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Villanueva homer

I'm OK with that. Just wanted Castro getting more PA since he's one of the couple of proven MLBers and also have a hard time seeing Rizzo hitting 2nd in real life

All of a sudden they are all mashing in AA or higher and the "all-prospect" lineups don't seem quite as crazy.
