    Pretty shocking.
    His night is done: 6IP 1H 1R 0ER 1BB 7K
    His K/BB for the year is now at 67/2 in 55.2 IP. He has been even better at Lancaster with a 43/1 K/BB in 30IP.

    Will be interesting to see what the prospect guys do with him when the mid season rankings come out. I know that "stuff" is what they are looking for when making prospect lists, but dang this guy has been incredible

    My guess is that Kiley McDaniel will have him as a future value of 50 which last year spanned from number 80 to 143 in fangraphs top 200. Basically, a compromise between how great he has been for the season and where he was to start the season.

    Luhnow just mentioned that Dominguez has been DFA. Hopefully we can get something back for him.

    This is a good time for the draft because our system has suddenly become somewhat top talent deprived with the promotions of Correa, McCullers, and Velasquez. Hopefully we can get some high ceiling talent in the next three days.

    They should change the picture real fast to Villar. That's where he should be playing, anyway.

    Not hitting with authority. Watches too many strikes. Still plenty of time for him to work things out and be a backup.

    Fontana is still gonna be a useful player for our team. UTL guy who can get on base is valuable for any title contending team.

    Fontana is never gonna see the field in Houston without a spree of injuries.

    Way too much talent on the team and farm system for Fontana to really make the roster or have any impact.

    He's not as athletic or versatile as an Eric Bruntlett type, and his bat just doesn't play up to the higher levels. Yet.

    I wouldn't totally give up on him, because he does have 1 skill that will translate, but I wouldn't waste a 40 man spot on him, either.
