I love Mo Baller

Man, I'm starting to get excited about Ayers.

Pete really loves hitting on the west coast.

Flexor strain

I think he stays at AAA for the majority of the year with a couple callups mid and late year when a couple small injuries inevitably occur (hopefully not). This FO seems to really love getting their top guys a ton of AAA AB's which is a strategy I really like. Don't have any data backing that up but they traded for Busch who had close to 1000 AB's at AAA, Cassie had close to 1000 ABs as well and Alcantara is on track for that too as hes close 700 ABs there. Shaw is an outlier here as he was only around 250 ABs Wouldn't be surprised if they want Pedro on the same track.

Didn't realize Murakami has been on such a heater.

Dang, Pedro Ramirez is exciting.

Yeah, id say im pretty optimistic about this season. We need to shore up pitching depth at the deadline and I think we will have the pieces in the minors to do it. Hopefully PCA gets going here and Busch gets back to normal and we have a pretty great offense imo.

Man, I hope this Conforto resurgence is legit.

How long til we start talking about extending Mo Baller?

I'm really excited about Hartshorn right now.

Where is Jordan Wicks? Is he still hurt? When is he due back?

We have really good catchers. What a luxury to have this season.

Was Skenes consensus? I cant recall.

I'm not ignoring his age, but....catchers do tend to take a little longer to develop. Ayers may be one of those guys. I am cautiously optimistic about him.
