I think he is someone to keep an eye on. He is still relatively young for a college draft pick, at 21, and won't turn 22 until August.

I mean, I get it, but is he going to play over Rogers or Dingler? While the bat would be nice, he's a negative on defense based on metrics, so I agree that I don't love losing people in the Rule 5; it's what happens when you're a good team. Lucky for us, we are also not hurting on the catcher front for prospects with Jimenez, Briceno, Liranzo.

In other news, Hayden Minton has been promoted to WM, Carson Rucker is on the 7-Day, and Mattison is starting his rehab with Lakeland.

Pacheco is an interesting case; he has consistently run a high BABIP throughout the minors. Not counting the 18-game stint when he was a 19-year-old in WM, he has only been below a .300 BABIP once. He is currently sitting at a .403 unsustainable BABIP. That being said, he walks almost 15% of the time, and his K rate is 27%. I should also note that while Pacheco has been there quite some time he is still technically below the average age for the Midwest League. I would love to see him hold this over for the first half of the year and then push him up to AA.

Workman isn't as young as those guys so not someone I would put in that group. I wouldn't be shocked to see Workman get a bus ride to Detroit once or twice. If I had to guess Workman is most likely because he's in AAA already. I think Campos has a significantly better chance than Pacheco though.

Pacheco with POW honors and Dylan Smith up to Toledo. Smith has really shined since coming back from injury and moving to the bullpen.

Both him and Campos have prospect fatigue, I am holding out hope that this is more than a hot streak but I am not holding my breath.

Also they have done pretty well grabbing later round pitchers and enhancing their offerings, such as Hamm, Melton, J.Miller.
