I follow the minors pretty closely and if you had asked me 10 minutes ago who Jordan Minch is I would have said "oh yeah that's one of the Cespedes BBQ kids."

 

Really glad that Thompson is healthy enough to make it though.

Good. I believe there is talk behind-the-scenes to also go back to the regular baseball (used for the rest of the minors) for AAA next year. MLB teams are pretty pissed that AAA has turned into a wasteland for pitching prospects this year.

 

Not sure what MLB does about the baseball at the major league level next year.

I'm no scout, and don't mean to be a negativist. But the couple of clips of Amaya that I've seen, it doesn't seem like he's got all that much bat speed.

 

I wonder if he'll have enough to hit well at higher levels, especially big-league level?

Tens of people are really enjoying the AFL live. Are the crowds usually that small?

 

When I went in 2013, there was maybe 100 people there. And for the most part, it was player's family or scouts/MLB folks. And that was on Veteran's Day weekend.

I can't be the only one who thinks the troops could put together a fall ball team that would outdraw the entire AFL.
