Anybody else still intrigued by the potential of Elijah Green? He had a big homer tonight and notched steal #40. He’s only 20, so there’s still a lot of room for growth/improvement. Hopefully he can cut down on the k’s and move up the ranks next season.
Intrigued in a "I bought a megamillions ticket because the pot is so darn high" kind of way. I think you advance him if he drops his  K% below 40% at any level for half a season.

Since July 1: 201 PAs: .260 / .338 / .463 (.801 OPS). 7 HRs, 22 SBs, 20 BBs, 84 Ks

Still striking out way way too much, but he's shown a ton of improvement. I look forward to seeing what he can do next year starting at A+ (reminder that he's still 20). He needed to take a step forward this year and he's done it.

Golden on Green's and Vaquero's seasons.

Green is working with a mental skills coach and has made small tweaks at the plate. His swing created issues for him, so this year he shifted his hands — from up behind his head to out in front of his body — to create a quicker path to the ball. And he’s focusing on his stance, working to make sure he’s not opening up too early and missing balls on the outer portion of the plate.
...
In July and August, Green hit .266 with a .795 OPS, 15 extra-base hits (including five homers) and 20 walks — but he still struck out 40.3 percent of the time. It will be hard for him to thrive at higher minor league levels unless he can cut his strikeout rate.
