Yea just wondering if anyone knew what he did In the 2016 Twitter world we live in figure it will come out

Would be really good for Hernandez His success this year following major failure at the same level is nice, but would be interesting to see if he could carry it up a level or not
Worrisome the numbers by Cameron, low a .143, Short Season .198 with almost half of the at bats with K's.
Daz is really going to need to put in work this offseason. He's never been knocked for his work ethic, but he's clearly been overmatched this year so hopefully he can make the necessary adjustments, put time in the film room, and improve next year when he repeats Low A
He's a really interesting under the radar prospect right now. He leads the league in batting average and stolen bases, and we've seen him display pretty impressive power. Not a bad skill set for a CFer.
i don't think he is an under the radar prospect as he was number 9 prospect of the Astros in BA in 2015 ahead of McCullers, Fisher, Santana, AJ Reed. He struggled last year at double a, but he was 2 years younger for the league. He has plus speed, average defense, above average arm, power and scouting has him as the average will not be good because he chases balls outside the plate. He profiles as a RF. He is repeating double a, and doing great, still 1 year younger for the league. He held his own in the Dominican Winter League hitting .275 in few at bats, but in 2014 he hit only .228, so there is improvement from the end of 2015 and carrying it in 2016. He is a prospect to watch, and good trading chip.

They sure do value those minor league all-star games.... And playoffs. It's actually somewhat endearing....(only when the big league club is winning like they are currently).
Here's a blurb from Oz Ocampo about a GCL arm: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Congrats to RHP Jorge Alcala on his 1st U.S. start (5IP-0R-1BB-8K).

Every team does, Nick. You have complained about this for years, and it's ****ing comical at this point.
They kept the AAA MVP out of the AAA Championship game to sit on the bench on the big league roster last season.
No, they don't. Not with this sort of military stringency. It's an artificial benchmark/deadline they've arbitrarily created. When there's a need (like with Duffy, who provided 1b/3b depth in case Carter decided to Carter) or they have a chance to lock the player up long term, it allofasudden doesn't matter as much. But not every team has a world class farm system either... Like I said, it's much more tolerable when the big league club is playing like a big league club (and doesn't need to replace guys with replacement level guys). It's Luhnow-speak. The media loves to hang on his every word about possible promotions... When in reality, every player has a fixed timeline, planned long in advance, constrained by the system and payroll (regardless of the season they're having or their individual attributes), with exceptions due to emergency. But like you said, it's ok simply because most teams do it... I think the better players should be constantly placed at their appropriate levels once they've shown the ability to dominate a lower level (and it's ok to skip levels... Not seeing much harm with that from the current if league guys who did).
It makes me wonder if a message is being sent by the first two guys being designated to create 40 man spots were the exact players protected in the offseason at the expense of major league depth. The team knows it was a mistake and they don't want to be reminded of it everyday.
