Osorio is having a really good season...other than a high K rate.

Headed to low A Lakeland this summer?

My guess is Osorio and Warwick are headed to Lakeland, probably after the draft maybe before.

Jackson Strong is a guy I've been keeping an eye on the last couple weeks. His k rate is still high but it has dropped quite a bit since the season has gone on so atleast he is showing improvement.

It means very little at all to me what the minor league teams do with their branding or jerseys but I will say that I don't care for the logo and font on the front of the jerseys.

It just looks really cheap to me and something you'd see at a knockoff Halloween store or something. 

It's satire. It's supposed to look cheap.

One of my memories of visiting Erie way back in my youth was visiting a fish hatchery along the highway nearby. Thousands of perch flopping around in holding  ponds just off the Lake.

That should be the new logo. Lake Erie Yellow Perch

I'll agree I don't love the logo and font on the front of the jerseys, but I do love the logo on the hats.

McGonigle up to 7th and Clark at 12th. There's 3 current guys ahead of Kevin who are in the majors 2 of which should be exhausting their prospect status shortly so soon he'll be in the top 5. There's 3 like that for Clark so he'll be in the top 10 shortly as well.

I feel like Rainer would probably have been right there with Konnor Griffin had he not gotten hurt. That being said Briceno moved up the list while Liranzo moved down a bit.

From what I heard about Liranzo while his overall numbers don't look terrible he has shown a lack of ability to hit off speed stuff which is concerning and probably a big reason for his drop. 

Agree about Rainer as well. With his exit velos at that age and ability to look like he can handle short that alone probably would've warranted a big jump.

Assume Briceno’s defensive uncertainty factoring in?  I’d place him above Liranzo.

Thayron has been heating up. Had a very slow start
