Where does Jefferson Mejia rank at the end of the year? Top 20?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I don't think he's been good enough to justify the top 20. Probably back-end of the top 30.

[Tryptamine]

I could be convinced to put him in the last couple slots of the top 20.

[sneakypower]

but there's no DH in the NL

[Guest]

Jim Callis ranked him 20th in the Cubs midseason top 20. I'll probably have him in the 21-30 range. The scouting reports in extended spring training were glowing (topping out at 98 in starts).

[Vinestal]

Charcer Burks looks like he's gonna be a lot of fun to watch in the next few years. He's 2/3 with 2 SB one of which was home. He's putting up some really great numbers in Boise. Sample size I know but seems likes a guy to be excited about.

Now I'm just going to be continually disappointed his name isn't actually Charger.

Game 1 of Daytona's double header has, you guessed it, been delayed by rain.

Couldn't get the tarp on the field in time, apparently. So we might not be getting any Daytona games in tonight.

That field is ridiculous. You would think when they built the place they would have built it with adequate drainage. The place floods every time there's a shower it's like they play in a giant plastic tub grrrrrr

Oh are they on the road? Lol maybe all the parks in the Florida league suck. I was thinking about the Daytona park. Didn't even realize they were in Lakeland.

Minor league parks don't have drainage systems as good as the ones in the big leagues. I'm guessing it's a financial thing.

Yeah, guess that makes sense.

The organization cut spending on the Tarp staff all over the place to sign Edwin Jackson, well thats what Rick Telander tells me...

[gscool89]

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

How much did he have to pay?
