None of the draftees in the FCL lineup. I'm guessing they're all headed to Virginia.

Arias and Cespedes ended the season with the 6th and 7th best batting averages, respectively, in the DSL out of 304 qualified hitters.

Both of the DSL games have been cancelled. Their seasons are over. Cespedes finishes with 25 extra base hits and 24 strikeouts. Him and Arias finish 2-3 in batting average among 17 y/o's, with Starlyn Nunez at 10. Catchers Andrew Musett and Gerardo Rodriguez put up wRC+s over 130, and Kleyvar Salazar held his own with an average batting line. |

With the DSL season over, here's a rough guess on who comes state-side, with the caveat that it can be incredibly difficult to predict (especially with pitchers):
Will come over: Franklin Arias, Yoeilin Cespedes
Probably, but who knows: Obed Balderas, Gilberto Batista, Nicolas De La Cruz, Jesus Garcia, Yosander Asencio, Andruw Musett, Starlyn Nunez, Gerardo Rodriguez, Kleyver Salazar
Other guys of interest: Ali Ascanio, Alisson Del Orbe, Juan Henriquez, Luis Jerez, Andres Jimenez, Jose Martinez, Daniel Nunez, Ovis Portes, Jean Carlos Reyes, Wuilliams Rodriguez, Deybi Salcedo, Frederik Jimenez, Cristofher Paniagua, Yoiber Ruiz

Unfortunately, some new draftees seem to have bumped him out of the Royals new BA Top 30, but he was on a previous version and as part of his background it mentioned that he required surgery to repair a broken leg in the past year. The surgery implies it was a bit more complicated that a standard break that is expected to heal with some time. I think it's reasonable to speculate that there were some long term concerns on the part of the Sox medical staff and they released him from the verbal commitment to sign for a reported 7 figures. Maybe they offered a reduced bonus, but he was obviously free to shop around. Thankfully for the kid another team didn't have the same concerns with his medicals and he still got paid. |

Welp. FCL season is done. Sox drop last one to the Twins 1-3.
I guess it's really time to start thinking about dark beers, long socks and stacking fire wood.
Summer is waning y'all.
Let's gets some of these kids to Virgina and strectch it out a bit longer!

Excited to see what Duffy does, I’m pretty high on him based off the little I’ve seen and the decent chunk I’ve read. Seems to be a guy who could be really good if they can find an extra tick or two for his fastball- gotta love the control, + changeup, and pitchability

Note to self: No matter what you think these late season moves might indicate about potential AFL assignments, keep your hat on and wait for actual news.
OK, back to regular scheduled posting.
