Nice story by Alex Speier today, albeit with a high school photo of Mikey Romero and no other visuals--and I didn't violate pretty much every principle of avoiding heatstroke and sunburn for four games this month for nothing--so let's look at the players in his story and move on from there!

Miguel Bleis (last one with Allan Castro)

Luis Perales (the starting pitcher I didn't see, sadly)

Johnfrank Salazar

Lyonell James--we'll get back to him once I edit more!

Allan Castro

Ahbram Liendo

Luis Ravelo (see later post for a couple more!)

Going back--

... there's some better shots of Lyonell James.

Alex moved on to draftees:

Mikey Romero

Roman Anthony

Brief digression: outfield drills are amazing. Last shot is from a relatively simple one where two OFs need to communicate on who will catch a ball that either could in theory handle. But they move on to drills where three players start on the ground and each leaps up as three balls are fired into the air a second or two apart--hard to photograph but amazing to watch!

Cutter Coffey

Brooks Brannon (who didn't play while I was there--and I didn't manage to see any catching drills)

Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz

Tomorrow I'll add players who didn't get name-checked in Alex's story!

Jhostynxon Garcia

Alexis Hernandez (last with Ahbram Liendo)

Siiiick. Thanks Kelly! Love getting a look at these guys.

One thing (that I hate to even mention given how great this thread is, but do to be helpful in case it's misfiled on your end): I think the first photo in the Ravelo section is actually Alexis Hernandez.

"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

Thanks! I am always grateful for corrections, which can be anything from erroneous copy/paste mistakes to "that looks like a shortstop play, right?" when I'm still not fully rehydrated.

Here's a bonus couple of Ravelo (really!):

Still tracking down some IDs on shots of players who weren't in games, like Francis Hernandez, here with Henry Nunez:

Might make a different post for the "2022 Draftees in T-Shirts" gallery.
