Kepley and Mathis have already donged.  The SB lineup is relentless

I don't know if the swing itself is different but Southisene has wayyyyyyy opened up his stance

[Bertz]

Not a sparkling outing from Mule but I'll take 6 Ks 1 BB (+ a HBP) all day from him

Is Ethan Conrad going to play this year? I love seeing Kane and Hartshorn killing it but imagine how much nicer it would be if the first rounder from that class could actually get on the field.

Man Lovich is on one hell of a heater.  With his age and the fact that his last slump was deeeeeeeep I wouldn't hate letting him just beat up on Low A for a while to absolutely prove it, but it does feel like he's probably leveled up and ready for SB.

16th of the year between SB and Knoxville

I'd rather see him keep it up in Low A since he's been subject to pretty severe ups and downs, and then move him up post-draft.  Let's see if this heater is legit and let him build confidence.

No one knows. Either no one cares enough to ask the org or they aren't telling
