Jose Disla started a rehab stint in the FCL today.
Enmanuel De Jesus got promoted to Worcester. Temporary, I’m sure, but if he gets into a game it’ll be his AAA debut after ending 2019 in A+.

Definitely a box score error, which are not uncommon for FCL games. That was my 1st thought. 4 innings in now and they haven’t changed it. Whoever it is, they’re doing pretty well. 4 IP, 0 ER, 5 Ks. ADD: Turned out it was Encarnacion. 5 scoreless innings, 1 walk, 5 Ks. Down to a 0.50 ERA. 1 run in 18 innings so far.

So Henry Nunez pitched in relief yesterday and is getting the start today? Box score error?
ADD: 2.2 innings in and the box score still says Nunez. Never seen a guy pitch 3.2 innings of long relief one day and then pitch multiple innings the next. Especially with a pitching staff the size of an FCL club.

Jeremy Wu-Yelland threw 4 perfect innings. 12 up, 12 down with 7 Ks. The potential is there if he can just control his pitches.

Looking at the guys possibly to be added: Scherff, Adames, Crawford, and Feltman have now been promoted to the next level. Give them the rest of the season to see whether or not there’s anything there.

So overall:
Seabold activated from IL.
Worcester to Portland: Matthew Kent
Portland to Worcester: Kutter Crawford, Durbin Feltman, Grant Williams
Greenville to Portland: Nick Sogard
Salem to Greenville: Jake Mackenzie
Leaves Portland and Salem with short benches. Portland has had a 3 man bench for awhile and seems to be doing fine. Salem has a lot of positional versatility on their roster, so we’ll see if anyone comes up from Fort Myers to take Mackenzie’s place or not. Then again, with how banged up they’ve been, I’d want all the bodies I can get.
Also noticed Roniel Raudes was placed back on the restricted list. Don’t know what’s going on with him.

Bonaci with another two hits and a walk today. OPS up over .900 even after a very cold start. Even with Mayer, Downs, and Yorke ahead of him as middle-infield prospects, I really don’t want to trade Brainer. They’d have to get a really good player back to make it worth it in my eyes.

Bello is a lock to be added. 0% chance he doesn’t unless his arm literally falls off. The only way I’m ok with Bello getting traded is if he’s the centerpiece of a trade for a young, established, and controllable starting pitcher. Since that’s not likely to happen, I don’t think Bello should go anywhere. Next year he will be major league depth with the potential to stick in a rotation. That’s not the type of prospect you trade unless it’s for a major piece. As for Knack, there’s absolutely no way he’s the #4 prospect in this system. That’s just ludicrous. As it was said above, he’s 24 and in A-ball.

I’ve noticed Alex Zapete showing up with a bunch of hits lately He’s a DSL repeater, so I’d hope he’d be doing well. He had a meh DSL season in 2019. He’s a guy that is feeling the loss of short-season ball. If Lowell still exists then maybe he’s with the FCL team. He’s turning 20 soon and still in the DSL for a second season, so… On the other hand, I think he has a cool name so there’s that.

Bradley Blalock threw his longest career appearance tonight. Went 5 innings for the first time. He’s had a really rough stretch over the last couple of months so this was a good step in the right direction.

Gilberto Jimenez was tossed by the first base umpire after arguing a close play at first. Can’t be 100% sure without replay, but it was very close. I thought he was safe.

I don’t know if it’s just an MiLB error, but the FCL game for today says cancelled. The affiliate scoreboard has the suspended game being finished today but the next box score says cancelled.

Make it 6 out of the last 8 starts where BVB has gone at least 5 with 1 ER or less. Went six shutout innings last night. In that stretch he’s dropped his ERA over three full runs from 7.08 to 4.01. He also hasn’t given up an earned run in his last three appearances over a span of 17 innings.

Pedro Castellanos got removed from the game in Portland. Singled and came around to score in the 4th or 5th. Stayed in defensively for the next inning but then got pulled after that.

It's not really an early signing. The entire signing period is 3 weeks this year. Plus there are several teams to my knowledge that have already signed most of their players. I think as of today, over half the 1st rounders have signed. Saw a tweet to that notion somewhere this morning. The Blue Jays I think are a team that’s already used up almost all of their 105%. If anything, compared to some other teams, the Sox are taking their time.

Didn't see this posted anywhere yet - Jeisson Rosario's catch last night was the #2 play of day on SportsCenter He stayed down for awhile after hitting the wall there. Stayed in the game but it’ll be interesting to see if he’s in the lineup tonight.

Aaron Perry went to the IL a couple days ago. Missed that. Hopefully it’s not a long term thing.

On top of it being a massive overpay, despite our apparent disagreement on that fact, it also goes against everything Chaim Bloom has done to build this farm system. Bloom builds depth. He doesn’t ravage the system with Dombrowski-like 4-for-1 trades. Especially not two top ten pitching prospects with a chance to be young, controllable starters (the most valuable commodity in the game), a potential top of the lineup table setter, and a decent trade chip all for a mediocre player. That’s not the type of trade Bloom would ever make. Nor should he.

Three top ten prospects and a top trade chip for one below league average player. Dude, no. Dude, yes. 4 Suspects for a Major Leaguer That’s not how any of this works. Not all prospects are equal. If you can make that trade with guys way down the list, then maybe. But that would be the most ridiculous overpay that I’ve ever seen. Ryan McMahon has never had a full season with an OPS+ over 100. Even now in his best year, it’s only 104. Also, his home/away splits aren’t great (he’s from Colorado).

Brainer Bonaci is currently hitting .256/.452/.435. 13 walks and 12 Ks. 21.8% K rate is probably more than you want from Bonaci but the 23.6% walk rate is ridiculous. FCL pitching is FCL pitching but that’s still impressive.

So Luis De La Rosa came on in relief tonight…kind of? The pitching for the FCL team has been a disaster so far. Loubier started but didn’t make it out of the first inning. I don’t know if it was a planned thing for De La Rosa to follow him later in the game to get them both innings, but he didn’t get out of his inning either. Currently sitting on a very ugly, very SSS 81.00 ERA.
