Made to me is the most promising surprise on the list. If he can hit at all, even 95 wRC+, then the guy is a decent trade chip to flip. He had a horrible year in 2023 offensively and still was a 45 FV prospect. He wasn't snagged in Rule 5 while Nunez was.

MLB Pipeline updated our top 30. YoYo and Cavalli switch places. Jacob Young is officially off the prospect list. Armando Cruz enters at #30.

kind of surprised Lara hasn't been rehabilitated. He is having one of the best season relative to age and level of any minor leaguer (per FG's Power Ranks.

yeah, it's early of course, but the Candelario sign and trade is looking like one of Rizzo's hits.

Looks like we might have another pitching prospect on our hands:

Andrew Alvarez, 12th round pick in 2021 out of Cal Poly. So far this year he's made 5 starts, throwing 22.2 innings. 2.38 ERA / 1.37 WHIP. 23Ks, 13BBs. Opponents hitting .212 off of him afer hitting .229 last year across A+ and AA.

Another potential pitching prospect at Harrisburg - Michael Cuevas:

https://www.milb.com/player/michael-cuevas-689821

3.38 ERA / 1.17 WHIP in 4 starts, 21.1 IP, 17Ks, 9BBs

Threw 6 scoreless, allowing 3 hits yesterday with 9Ks and 1 walk. Hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts now after getting rocked in his first two.

Alvarez and Cuevas ERA's added together is 5.76.

Patrick Corbin's ERA over his last 100 games dating back to the 2021 season is 5.84...and now stands at 6.82 for the 2024 season.

The fans don't deserve this level of ineptitude from any player, nor do we deserve the total indifference displayed by the organization. 

Those four morons, the Junkies, need to be all over this with Rizzo...

Lord has no mercy.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

looks like he ran a 40:10 K:BB at Wilmington last year over 43 innings with a 1.54 GO/AO ratio. That's come down to 0.94 at Harrisburg over 19.2, but he's up to 25:6 K:BB.  2022 18th round pick out of South Florida. 24 years old. 

might be one of those guys who moves 3 levels and onto the radar.

Another gem for Lord tonight at Harrisburg and home runs for House and Crews.

In addition to the Lara move:
