    Unless it's for an absolute Chris Sale type ace, i don't like giving up him or Tucker the Younger.

    Jake Rogers and Yordan Alvarez are also high profile potential trade chips. I don't think Forrest Whitley will be traded except possibly for Chris Archer.

    I look forward to him being in CC so people can watch him pitch. I haven't just been bullshitting since before the draft, he's seriously legit. I have no idea how he lasted until the 17thish pick.

    Whitley: 5 IP 2 H 1 BB 0 R 10 K

    He's rapidly turning into an elite prospect.

    Evidently Alvarez was scratched from the lineup tonight.

    Corpus Christi launched 3 homers in a 6-run 3rd inning in Midland.

    Jack Mayfield hit a grand slam, then Jason Martin and Bryan De La Cruz hit solo shots. Martin now has 5 with Corpus and 12 on the year.

    Another 3-4 game for Jake Rogers. He's now on an 11-game hitting streak.

    Also stole 2 bases, giving him 9 on the year between both A clubs.

    98 pitches in 5.2 innings, so he labored a little bit. Will be interesting to see how efficient he can be against more disciplined hitters

    Kent Emanuel was promoted to AAA. Finally fully healthy this season, he had 63 k and 17 bb in 74 ip in AA. He's a sleeper for sure; could easily see him panning out into a really good BoR SP.

    Kyle Tucker just left Corpus Christi's game after going 2-2.

    Most likely nothing.

    Know it's probably nothing but this is too much for me. Just tell us it was precautionary.

    That is intriguing. He obviously has some baseball knowledge.
