"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD
I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
Also, you missed "Eybersson" and "Yizreel", which are solid entries.
It almost felt like cheating to dip down to the DSL, though I didn't entirely resist the urge.
By the way, I was very pleased to discover we have a Giancarlos Santana in the system. I would love it so, so much if he looks like Giancarlo Stanton with a mustache.

Heh. A non-exhaustive list of some other given names that have never appeared in MLB:

Fun fact - he's Manuel Margot's cousin.

Jimenez 3 for 3 with a double tonight, 3 for 4 with a double last night, 11 for last 23. Was he hurt before?
I've speculated. He didn't play nearly as much in June as he did in May (look at our lineup page where if you Ctrl+F you can see how many more games he missed), and he left at least 2 games early in late June and early July. Has played more regularly in July though so he's probably getting healthier.

The pitching depth in the High minors is starting to get very interesting: Seabold and Crawford in AAA (not even counting Houck) Bello and Murphy is AA Re-sign Eddy, fully healthy Sale, Eovaldi, Pivetta (very good 5th starter imo), Houck and Whitlock as your MLB rotation in 2022 with these young guns honing their stuff down in Worcester and Portland? Sign me up! And don't even get me started on the Young arms in the Low minors! Future's bright!
