Checking in on the top prospects, wRC+ for our hitters in the top 10:
Anthony - 138
Mayer - 139
Teel - 144
Bleis - 121
Cespedes - 157
Zanatello - 129
Campbell - 169
Love to see it. Also, Zanatello is a small sample size, but other than him the highest K% in this group is Anthony at 26.
Bonus: Lugo at 198, only one minor leaguer with >150 PAs is higher (Emmanuel Rodriguez at 199).

In the DSL's first week, our top three IFA signees went a combined 0-for-28, while our top pitcher threw three no-hit innings. (SSS/not important, just notable.)

I guess Drohan might be coming back.

Super bad rainouts in Florida can't be uncommon... do they have a contingency to make up games or play elsewhere, or is it just a "tough luck" situation?

For what its worth, a pair of pitchers for the DSL Blue team each pitched 3 no hit innings with 2 BBs apiece. Abis Prado (age 17) did so with 6 Ks while Yoelvin Chirino (age 19) did so with 3 Ks.

Kinda funny that we (at least I do) consider Marcelo to be having a great year and Roman having an “ok” year when they’re 1 wRC+ apart

He was having a pretty meh season until then... although mostly just a bad April. Anthony is also doing this on the back of a BB% higher than all but 5 players in the MLB this year so I’m not sure that you can expect that type of ISOd at the next level. But more importantly what a fun group of prospects right now in addition to the young MLB talent. It’s awesome |

The bar for offense is also lower for Mayer being a shortstop (though I don't know how their defense rates comparatively)

I don't think you'd go wrong having any of Mayer anthony or even Teel ranked your number 1 but I do have Mayer my number 1 with the thought he'll hit well and field well enough to stick at SS. Anthony's long term position feels more like COF to me but that's more Rafaela than Anthony not being a CFer. Teel seems like he can be a difference maker at C with his bat. The top 3 is as strong as can be and then there's guys like perales bleis and cespedes right behind. Farm looks good no doubt.

There was absolutely NO reason to call this game. We had a little rain around 9 and every weather forecast said no more. I drove to the stadium to watch at 11. It was all sun! No game! I would understand 15 years ago not wanting to make the 90-minute drive, but the radar was sure that was it and is so much more advanced and correct. It really pisses me off how they make these decisions. The week before I drive to North Port and they had changed the game to start at 10 at the last minute. I get there at 11:45 and they are almost done.

It' almost like fans aren't the most important thing to developmental baseball.

MLB would be smart to move all 30 teams to Arizona.
They could then open up Florida for regular minor league teams. They could get rid of lower quality sites like Salem.

The Florida State League used to have abysmal attendance numbers, which is why many of them were contracted. But that said, there is still a Florida State League - the presence of the FCL doesn't keep that from existing at all. If anything, having the complexes there helps. |

I didn't mean a lot of teams, just a few. Ft. Myers Red Sox sounds a lot more appealing than Salem but I've long been down on Salem and their management (or lack of). Anyhow, Florida has a lot more issues than Arizona, particularly weather, to deal with. |

Three cars within sight of each other is considered a traffic jam in Arizona.

Myers and it doesn't need to be the Red Sox, just that the Sox have Salem. Someplace closer to Miami would make sense. |

As an aside, next time you are in Florida, catch a jai alai match. That's where two opponents sling a baseball sized golf ball against a wall to try to maim each other. It's easy to understand and has constant action, great fun. Imagine a hard ball coming at you at 150 MPH.
