    Holy ****! You don't see many shortstops hitting home runs to the opposite field power alley. Damn that is a swing right there.

    If true, that would mean Fresno's offense is top 10 in the majors

    Since the Astros are 11th in all of baseball in runs scored right now

    Francis Martes, the 3rd piece in the Jarred Cosart deal, made his debut for Quad Cities today. He allowed a run on 2 hits, walked 3, and struck out 5 in 4 innings.

    Quad Cities clobbering Clinton 8-2 in the 8th.

    Wow, awful display of pitching by Gregerson.

    Finally is gone

    Right now, 4.08 ERA, it can go higher.

    Houston, WE NEED A CLOSER

    He's obviously wondering if Appel can close instead of Gregorson.

    10-11 in save opportunities, including 6-6 this month. Rough May, but you definitely weren't saying a damn thing in April either.

    Back on topic....

    All the fun going on in Fresno is getting the most attention and rightfully so, but AJ Reed and Velasquez continue to be one of my favorite prospects in the system. IF Vince stays healthy he's a #2 starter, and AJ looks like a future Adam Dunn. Hoping they stay healthy and get moved up this year.

    Does Reed look like someone that will strike out a lot?

    I would say yes. Not a very loose swing. He'll punish mistakes, but may have trouble with good movement.

    Dunn had plus power. Reed's power is above average. Reed reminds me of Lucas Duda on the Mets.

    Lancaster leads High Desert 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 5th. Only run Joe Musgrove has allowed came on a solo homer in the 2nd.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/musgrove23Stros">@musgrove23Stros</a> strikes out side in the 5th to give him 9 on the day.

    9K - 0BB today in 5 innings. Looking like another pitchers duel in the PCL.

    Unfortunately he'll have to settle for a no-decision as Zach Morton gave up 3 runs in the 6th

    Is Musgrove a top 10 prospect now?

    Still old for his league and I don't think you can put him ahead of Appel or Hader.

    You could make an argument for him moving up above Teoscar and Colin Moran but then theres guys like Kemp and Notthingham that are having excellent years.

    I think I'd go

    1. Correa
    2. McCullers
    3. Velasquez
    4. Phillips
    5. Appel
    6. Santana
    7. Feliz
    8. Fisher
    Here is where you could possibly slide him in depending on how much you believe in certain guys like Moran, who I don't believe in, but I'm going to go with
    9. Kemp
    10. Reed

    Assuming the 2 top picks are locks to be top 10 prospects I don't see him sliding in this year.
