The turnaround in success of our minor league clubs has been dramatic and unreal in the past couple years
Swear to God we'd go weeks where you rarely reported one win, much less the sweeps we've seen this year
Its not all about winning down there, but it does matter.

Guess what some of this coincides with?

Moving guys up, lopping off those not contributing, adding new guys from Ext ST.

Imagine that.

The Tim Tebow Effect is real! @MiracleBaseball has been averaging 1,748 fans at Hammond Stadium. Tonight, there were 6,315 fans.

Tebow was 0-2 with 2 K's and HBP. Will said he did a facer into the wall or something.

Wasted pick
LHP Tyler Jay, 6th overall pick in 2015 draft, is being evaluated for thoracic outlet syndrome. Season-ending surgery appears likely.

Over-reaction to a shortage ?
Sure seems like it.

Can always trade some later and have others move. Apparently they have a lotta luck w/SS of late, evaluation-wise. Lewis is off to an excellent start.

In truth, looking back on it ... every good infielder, imo, started as a SS and moved around from there.

Wish I could have seen Sano play SS. That must have scared the other team and the first baseman having to catch those rockets.

Kinda like Magic bringing the ball up "hey you, kid ... go guard that point guard" GULP

Ended my college BB dreams ... had seen only scrawny white boys like myself and handled everybody.
Before you start talking shit and thinking you can play college ball ... go to college gym on a weeknight and play against all the injured/ineligible/fringe guys who want to make it too.
You'll find out in a hurry if you are going to make it.

Should move Gore to CR. College guy, this is to remedial.
Play Lewis, move Wander back to GCL. No worries, he's only 18 or 19.
