Rooker looks like real deal.
18 HRs in 193 Minor ABs

Lewis and Rooker look legit.

4 years from Now....

Lewis LF
Gordon SS
Buxton CF
Sano 3B
Rooker 1B
Kepler RF
Vargas DH
Garver C
Polanco 2B

I could see someone else at 2nd if Polanco doen't hit consistently. Going to be a lot of options.

I would run Lewis at SS as long as possible. Gordon at 2nd would work, so would Miranda/Palacios/Javier. Palacios / javier at SS would too.

Rooker is hitting. He'll be in the bigs next year during the season.

I also left off Kiriloff.
Seems like a guy who will get moved.
Some of these bats will need to be moved for arm I think.

Vargas, but no Rosario?
Not me.
Vargas won't be on this roster in 4 years.

Yep. Makes sense that Doug wants to be in Ft. Myers, although Chattanooga is a pretty fantastic place in its own right.

I like Doug and Jake both a lot. And they've both had a ton of talent for the most part over the last few seasons.

In Chattanooga he could eat BBQ at Hillbilly Willy's every night.

Mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Back up now, wish they would just give him 500 ABs and see what happens.
Instead we DH Robert Grossman.

Royce Lewis hit his first HR with Cedar Rapids yesterday. He is now hitting .385 in A ball.

No walks in 39 AB in A ball and only 4 HR his senior year in high school. Why are we excited about this kid?

Lewis hit at least one in the GCL, too

Guy is a difference maker. Impacts the teams he's on. GCL Twins haven't been the same since he left. CR needed an uptick when guys left for FTM.

He's provided that and more.
