2021 MiLB news and notes...

Pereira hasn't played in a week. Is he injured?

I would ask today what's op but rained out..

[Yankyfan]

Upper level Catchers who can hit are always at a premium. Not a power guy, but can handle the bat. If he is not protected, he must be traded, as he will be off the board early in the Rule 5 this coming December.

I disagree. This season he is showing pop. 15 hr and 14 DB's in about 260 AB.. I do agree though he will be a R5 pick if not protected...

True. For this year.

Look at his career to date though. Not a lot of power. Is this year an outlier? Time will tell.

Pipeline has a new Top 30. Volpe at #1, Jasson 2

I like the list, I am not a fan of Medina at all. I don't think he will see success at the major league level. I think Garcia is better than that hes doing now, but I never really liked him. Waldichuk either.

My personal top 10 is...

Dominguez
Volpe
Peraza
Schmidt
Gil
Wells
Vargas
Sweeney
Pereira
Gomez

I'm hoping a pitcher falls in the 2022 draft for them. I don't think Sands will be a stud but I hope they add him to the 40 man roster this off season. My sleeper pick is Lockridge too.

I would protect him. We have no catching depth. Maybe he can be a decent backup.

In a bubble, I would protect him too, but I believe Breaux is also Rule V eligible. Would they keep four catchers on the 40 man?

[Keebler884]

Some moves today.

Anthony Garcia and Antonio Gomez promoted to Tampa. Eric Wagaman, Carlos Narvaez, and Beck Way promoted to Hudson Valley.

[Snatch Catch]

Vasquez up to Somerset, too.

[Yankyfan]

So upset to see Kyle McDonald released...Super great Guy...Hope he resurfaces as a coach if he doesn't get another shot...
Steven Sensley also released.

[Snatch Catch]

Jasson with his 3rd HR for Tampa, it came off a rehabbing Vincent Velasquez, to boot.

Someone on Twitter saying it was 107 MPH off the bat.

Some hard decision needs to be made.

I’m usually wrong about these things, but it’s hard to imagine a team keeping Sauer on the 25 man

I just listed out those who's in top 30 prospect list. Sauer is likely safe not to be picked but other would have legit chance being picked in Rule 5 draft if not protected IMO.

[Yankyfan]

i like Lockridge but no way i protect him over an arm.
