    The Dodgers locked up 2nd round pick Jimmy Lewis. This is a big deal as Lewis was a helium prospect ala Dustin May when he was drafted. He too is a 6'6" RH'er and just like May saw his velocity tick up late his senior year. Unlike May, Lewis saw his velocity get to 95 instead of the 90-91 that Gingergaard got up to before getting drafted. Everyone is different, but this kid could be the next monster in the org.

    Dodgers have the #3 rated farm system by Fangraphs.

    It would be a 3-4 spot drop at least as I believe they have Ruiz as one of our few 55-60 grade prospects. Our insane depth of 50 grade spects is helping drive that ranking up led by the star power at the top. I agree that the chances of May and Lux being traded now are almost zero. Both players fits immediate needs, therefore make little sense to move. Btw, Lux is just a monster right now at AAA and our OKC lineup would probably be better than the Orioles.

    200 AAA at-bats should put him on schedule for a mid-late August arrival?

    Verdugo is hitting .306/.352/.500/123 wRC+ with a low K% and solid defense. But nah, take the Brewers deal (whatever it was). Screw the Marlins.

    Yeah, based on what I can tell, that would be about right.

    Remember that weird trend a while ago where players just skipped AAA? Let's do that

    With the Dodger game in rain delay, I switched the gamecast over to OKC. It's only in the third inning. How's Lux doing, you ask? He walked in the first and hit a 3-run jack in the second. Now has 5 homers, batting .509, and OPS'ing at a mere 1.547.

    He bats lead-off for that team. Know any major league team that can use a lead-off hitter?
