Tai Peete 2 Run Homer. Lefty on lefty damage.

Sloan looks legit as a RP. I know M's love him. Live arm with great movement on offspeed stuff.

After two 97 MPH strikes, he threw this

The bottom of that same inning he threw out a guy stealing 3rd. He did it from his knees with a laser that wasn't more than 2 feet off the ground the whole way. Impressive.

It’s weird with him cause prospect insiders vary widely on him. They make it seem like he is going to either be an all star or won’t even make the big leagues

Funny because when I saw him play the field in CF and at 2B I thought he wasn't going to be much. Then he goes 3-3 and I think he has a legit shot. He is a very confusing read. I think there is a case to hold onto him because of his skills but at the same time I wonder if dealing him now is the best move to avoid losing a lost chance.

He will be interesting to keep an eye on. It seems like the Rays at least love him cause every rumored deal with them since he was drafted involves him

He seems like one of their types. They got a guy I saw today with amazing speed. I would for Ms to get him.

From last year's #1 overall pick.

This is the guy I want from the Rays. They list him at 80 Speed. 20 Power, but 80 Speed!

You mean you’d rather have a guy on the bench that can at least do something rather than Haniger or Canzone or Rivas

I do have a weird question though. Since baseball went all nerdy with their stats, why do they still have the 80/20 scale? Seems like it should be if that dude has 80, it should be 100 like all other major sports with their analytics. I wonder is it just so players don’t feel bad if they suck with power they still get a 20?

LOL I have no clue. I always thought it was a strange scale.
