[We Got The Whole 9]

Alcantara just donged, 3/4 with a double also

 

Slaughter hit another [emoji378] and is making his presence felt in AA. Big breakout.

I have some thoughts about Alcantara, but I don't want to be accused of hyperbole.

With his age, tools, and production..

 

 

Hyperbole doesn't exist.

Just hoping Kevin is better than Arismendy and Sergio.

Hyperbole doesn't exist.

 

Alright then, he's the best prospect in the organization

[Bertz]

So as things look right now, going into the winter we'll have four consensus top 100 guys in Brennen, PCA, Alcantara, and whoever we end up with at 7 (assuming we don't do a signability play). And then another four guys will probably not be consensus but likely each end up on a list or two: Caissie, Triantos, Herz, and Hernandez.

 

Add in whatever we end up with for Willson and Robertson, and that's a hell of a top end for a farm that was already really deep coming into the year.

[Bertz]

Riley Thompson's return was inauspicious, but Clarke did really well in relief. He now has 4 walks and 33 strikeouts in 33.1 AA innings. Oh and a 55ish percent groundball rate.

 

Kohl Franklin was okay, which by his standards is a huge win. Hopefully that can get him on a bit of a roll.

Based on ceiling, you'd be correct.

I just can’t believe TomtheBombadil said he would be like a Marisnick. Yes, I’m aware it’s still early.

[CubinNY]

Yes, Alcantara is looking like a big time prospect. Awesome. If he does turn out, the Rizzo trade maybe one of the best decisions of the Jed era.
