Prospect                  POS         Team     Age        ETA to MLB     (Comments)

​

1.      Julio Rodriguez           OF          SEA        21.4        Debuted    (The power to all fields and Speed has impressed, leading the league in SBs with 10, as of 5/10/22.  Julio just brings a wow factor in every part of his game, his ABs, his swing, his swagger, his defense, his overall, all-around game.  Julio comes in as #1 in Rotowire, #1 ZIPs and #1 in our heart)         

2.      Bobby Witt Jr.              SS           KCR        22          Debuted (A slow start hasn't dulled the excitement that BW Jr brings. Speed, Athleticism, power, defense, Witt has it all).

3       Adley Rutschman         C             BAL 24.3             2022      (An injury -triceps- prevented the switch hitting Adley Rutscman from making the Orioles out of camp, but it was a minor setback and Adley has been fast tracked back through the minor league ranks (A+, AA) and now, at AAA, is just a step away from the big club. Adley is going to be a fantasy producer, which at catcher, is a fantasy unicorn. We like Adley's swing batting from the left more than the right, and he should have ample opportunity for those ABs in the bigs.)

4.      Riley Greene                OF          DET        21.7       2022  (Riley was set to make the big league club out of ST, but an injury derailed the dream...for now. But look for Greene to make an impact come June).

5.      Spencer Torkelson      1B/3B    DET        22.8        Debuted (A slow start in the bigs hasn't slowed our enthusiasm for Spencer's skillset. Tork started slow at each level in the minors and the same was, sorta, expected in the bigs.  He'll put it together, be patient).

6.      Shane Baz                    RHP        TBR        23           Debuted  (The electrifying righty shouldn't even be on this list because he dominated in his short time in the bigs last season, but he's here for now and after he comes off the IL, look for more of the same: rockets, high K/9, game over)

7.      Grayson Rodriguez     RHP        BAL        22.5        2022     (the GRod thunderstorm is about to make landfall in Baltimore, boasting a sub 3.33 ERA in AAA  and 12.67 K/9 rate, xFIP 2.68 [good for 21st among MiLB pitchers])

8.      Max Meyer                   RHP        MIA       23.2        2022  (a sparkling 1.72 ERA, 39K's in 31.1 IPs and an xFIP of 2.97 [30th among pitchers] has Max bringing the ax and on track to be on the mound in Miami soon -- crowd or no crowd)

9.      George Kirby                RHP        SEA        24.3       Debuted  (With Brash's self-destruction, the M's were in need of a reliable starter and Kirby was the obvious choice. Though George K hadn't pitched above AA, he was lighting up the Double A circuit [xFIP 3.53, #74 overall in 2022] and left us scratching our heads as to why he wasn't in AAA. However, it turns out that the AA/AAA distinction was more in our minds than the M's, as in promoting Kirby to MLB, the M's made the lack of a AAA pedigree; and Kirby has made no distinction between AA and MLB hitters, continuing the same domination from Arkansas to TMobile Park)

10.    Nolan Gorman             2B/3B    STL         22.1        2022   (Tick tock, Gorman is ready to rock.  2nd in all of MILB in HRs [12], wRC+171, Gorman's only hesitation to a call up is a high K rate [and maybe having to move gold glove 2b Tommy Edman to SS].  The naysayers say that the rate will be worse in the bigs, Joe Adell style, but there's only one way to know)

11.    Hunter Greene             RHP        CIN         22.8       Debuted (100+mph is the norm for Hunter, as this guy absolutely brings it. But guess what? It turns out that 98/99/100/101 in goes out of the park even faster.  Hunter has an electrifying fastball, but can he locate it (location, location, location) while throwing his offs-peed stuff for strikes?  Hunter had a rebound performance on 5/10/22 after many fantasy managers had dropped him following an abysmal start to the season.)

12.   Triston Casas                 1B           BOS        22.4       2022      (a relatively mediocre start in AAA [wRC129+] has the Casas train on hold.  But, his competitor in BOS is/was the non-hitting Bobby Dalbec [though Rotowire has Franchy Cordero ahead of Dalbec on the depth chart now]....so its still a developing situation but you have to think Triston at Fenway is better than Franchy and Bobby combined, no?)

13.   Jack Leiter                     RHP        TEX         22.1        2023    (TEX had the baby gloves on for Leiter's first four starts, letting him go an average of 3 IPs per start. Well that changed in a dominating May 7th, 6 IP, no run start. Can Leiter follow Kirby and jump straight to the bigs?  He's ready and will be the TEX SP1 when he does. He's major league ready and there's no reason to hold him down any longer).

14.   Daniel Espino                RHP        CLE         21.4       2023 (Espino can sling it and like Leiter and Kirby and is ready to jump from AA to the bigs).

15.   Jeremy Pena                  SS           HOU      24.7        Debuted  (Pena has exceeded most expectations. He was destined to be good, but he's rookie of the year good.  Pena just looks like a major league SS).

16.   Corbin Carroll                OF          ARI         21.8        2023 (Everyone's favorite all star minor leaguer.  For me/us here, I just haven't seen enough. The power looks good (an incredible 1.115 OPS), the speed looks good, but will this hit tool (and .313 Avg) project in the bigs?  I don't think its fair  [or accurate] to look at Corbin as a home run guy [we're projecting 15-20 HRs a year] but as a .300 type hitter with a lot of doubles and triples.  But here's the pause [the rub?] remember Nick Senzel? Senzel was "all minor league world", and, like Corbin, has had a bit [a bite?] of the injury bug.  Or, there's another even more recent comp, and that's Jarred Kelenic (who had similar hit, power, run ratings and who struck out even less than Carroll has in the minors).  While we're rooting for Corbin, and at wRC+ 181 [#23 in MiLB] he's putting together a pretty legit campaign, we're still pumping the breaks on rating Corbin higher than #17 -- and NO WAY is he ready to be the #1 overall fantasy prospect...unless you still think Kelenic is)

17.   Michael Harris                OF         ATL         21.2        2023  (Michael Harris is surging up the boards with speed, power and average. wRC+144).

18.   Miguel Vargas                1B/3B    LAD        22.5        2022   (After a slow start to AAA, Vargas is picking it up, wRC+123. This guy is LAD's future 3B and he has legit power).

19.  Robert Hassell III             OF          SDP        20.8       2023  (singing "this kid is on fiyeerrrr". With a wRC+ of 170 and an OPS of .963, 5 HRs and 11 SBs, A+ ball is no hassle for Hassell. The only question for us is why is he still in A+? )

20.  C.J. Abrams                     SS           SDP        21.7       Debuted (Roto has/had CJ as the #4 prospect, MLB had him at #9. Our hesitation is the lack of power. CJ is a great defensive SS and has obviously struggled in the majors, before his demotion to AAA. But he's going to keep gaining weight/power and the ISO numbers are going to increase and he'll be back, don't worry....meanwhile, after his demotion, and in his very first game with AAA El Paso (5/11/22), he powered out not just 1 but 2 HRS)

21.   Noelvi Marte                  SS           SEA        20.6        2024    (After a hot start in Everett class A+ [wRC+133], Noelvi has cooled off, though the temps have been chilly in the NW too.  Noelvi will be promoted to AA at some point this year, but the M's undoubtedly are looking for more consistency).

22.   Royce Lewis                   SS           MIN       23           Debuted  (wRC+ 166, the prospect comeback of the year runner up award goes to.....Royce, who is back after having been written off by many in 2021 due to injury)

23.   Marco Luciano               SS/3B           SFG        20.7        2023   (After a horrendous 2021 campaign in A+ where Marco ranked something like 220 out of 240 A+ ball eligible shortstops, Lucianos has rebounded in 2022 [wRC+152) to give us what we saw in him in low A (and before).  A promotion to AA is likely this year if Marco keeps this up into June. But, remember, he's a future 3B, not a SS)

24.   Jordan Walker               3B           STL         20           2023   (Though the power is down [wRC+128], Jordan has held his own in AA, stealing 10 bags while hitting for average. As one of the youngest players in AA, and a huge frame with massive power, look for Jordan to break out and be in AAA in 2023 where a hot start there may catalyze a jump to the bigs)

25.   Michael Busch               2B           LAD        24.6        2023  (Michael Bush should be in AAA, not AA. I don't know why the Dodgers kept him down. After powering through the Texas League with a rWC+ 153, expect a call from Oklahoma City).

26.   Kahlil Watson                 SS           MIA       19.1        2024  (Kahlil was hot to start his A- stint, but has cooled mightily to a tune of wRC+116, and this could delay a promotion to A+)

27.   Andy Pages                   OF          LAD        21.5         2023 (Andy has incredible power but that power has not yet shown up in AA. It's there, but Andy must first make some adjustments to the better pitching he's facing).

28.  Alek Thomas                    OF          ARI         22.1        Debuted (Alek didn't exactly destroy AAA this year, but was always on a verge of a call-up. He should be a high floor type guy)

29.  Anthony Volpe                 SS           NYY        21.1        2023  (After destroying A+ ball, Volpe has hit a wall in AA. He'll get it together, he's too good not to).

30.  Zac Veen                          OF          COL        20.5        2023   (A slow start had some fantasy managers trading Veen away, but he's rebounded and is having a successful showing at A+ ball with a wRC+141)

31.  Jordan Lawlar                  SS           ARI         19.9         2024      (Though he was fantasy's #2 rated Draft prospect [for rookie drafts], we were a little more bearish on Jordan, so to seem him hit this well in A- [wRC+ 166, .955 OPS 6 HRs, 15 SBs] has been A+).

32.  Seiya Suzuki                     OF          CHC        27.8       Debuted (Suzuki came out hot, but has cooled considerably. He's still going to be in the ROY conversation, but looks like the league has figured out how to pitch to him).

33.  Oneil Cruz                        SS           PIT          23.7        Debuted (Oneil was everyone's pick to start with the Pirates as their big league SS. PIT, however, had other plans including trying Cruz out in LF, I mean, how many 6'7" shortstops are there?  Well, the temporary demotion to AAA hasn't gone well for either Cruz or PIT has Oneil is hitting just .187 in Indy with a mere 2 round trippers)

34.  Marcelo Mayer                 SS           BOS        19.5        2023  (The consensus #1 rookie prospect for 2022 dynasty drafts has had a solid but unspectacular start at A- ball, hitting .328, 1 HR, 4 SBs)

35.  Josh Lowe                        OF          TBR        24.3         Debuted (Josh Lowe has a good blend of power and speed and high upside, but that upside didn't play in his first taste of MLB ball and its also not playing in AAA Durham at the moment. (.160 Avg)

36.  Josh Jung                         3B           TEX         24.3        2023       (Shoulder surgery is not a good thing. Josh is expected to be out until at least August/September and then will be on a minor league assignment. Don't expect big things this year, just hold and wait).

37.  Brennen Davis                  OF          CHC        22.6       2022 (Rotowire's #4 prospect has hit a major wall. Striking out 40% of the time will do that to both your real and fantasy worlds. We haven't given up on this five tool player, but he needs to work on the hole in his swing, maybe choke up, get a smaller bat and reduce the K rate.  Improve that average and confidence and then let the power play.  Brennan has a super high ceiling, but there's great risk here). 

38.  Henry Davis                       C             PIT          22.7       2022   (Another player with a high ceiling is this guy.  But, what sets Henry Davis apart is a high floor. If you were to build a prototypical catcher [robot or human] Henry Davis is the model.  Davis just looks like a catcher and has the hit tool unlike any other, save his clone Adley R.  After a quick run through A+ (wRC+ 177, 1.035 OPS, 5 HRs, 5 SBs), Davis will likely mash AA Altoona before a call up to AAA and hopefully the bigs this year.  He could play now and be PITs #1 catcher, but that's just not how PIT plays it, I guess.)

39.  Joey Wiemer                    OF          MIL        23.3         2022      (The Brew Crew's minor league player of the year is this guy, Joey Wiemer, who ran and hit [and looked] like his hair was on fire, mashing 27 HRs and stealing 30 bases in 2021.  And, he's not slowed down at AA in 2022 [wRC+124].  If the big league club wasn't soo good, Joey could play and contribute now!)

40.  Nick Gonzales                  2B           PIT          23           2023   (Nick G is struggling tremendously after the promotion to AA, hitting just .180, 2 HRs, .616 OPS.  Nick's profile wasn't ever a slugger, though he hit 18 HRs last year, but the difficulty getting hits of any kind this year has some folks concerned).

41.  Luis Matos                        OF          SFG        20.3        2024   (Another guy that hit a promotion wall is Luis Matos, after being on everyone's short list last year, the promotion to A+ Eugene has cooled the jets, as .152 0HRs 1SB (over 66 ABs will do)

42.  Brady House                     SS           WAS      19            2024    (After a sizzling start and manly tattoos, Brady has come off the pace a bit. The power will be there [though just 2 HRs in low A], but the average is  above .300 and that's even more important for him at this point, along with a very good wRC+143)

43.  Vinnie Pasquantino         1B           KCR        24.6         2022      (wRC+144 but an ISO of just .271. Though Vinnie has swatted 7 HRs, the doubles are down from last year, thus far)

44.  Gabriel Moreno               C             TOR       22.3        2022      (The average is there, .319, but 0 HRs so far. What happened to the pow wow power?  He'll find it.  But how did TOR find so many good to great young catchers?)

45.  Taj Bradley                       RHP         TBR        21.2         2023      (A strong showing to the start of the 2022 MiLB campaign has us believing, although the xFIP of 3.69, #91 in MiLB is good but perhaps not great)

46.  Orelvis Martinez              SS/3B    TOR        20.5          2023      (WRC+ 122.  One of the youngest players in AA, Orelvis has mashed 8 HRs, but hit just .212)

47.  Eury Perez                       RHP        MIA        19.1           2023     (At 6'8" and flashing a new haircut, Eury Perez "projects" to be a frontline starter.  But, when will he start throwing that projected gas? Right now in AA, a 4.76 ish ERA doesn't help but 36 K's in 22.2 IPs does -- giving Perez an xFIP of 2.99 [good for 33rd overall])

48.  Coby Mayo                     3B           BAL        20.5          2023      (Left off most top prospect conversations in 2021, experts gave us the Mayo to begin 2022 and we bought it. Coby has legit power and looks like a major league 3B, wRC+119)

49.  Francisco Alvarez            C             NYM      20.5         2023       (wRC+114.  The Metsies have a pretty good top 4/5 prospect list)

50.  Vidal Brujan                    2B/OF   TBR          24.3         Debuted   (talking about good prospects, so go the Rays!)

51.  MJ Melendez                  C             KCR        23.5        Debuted   (after nearly leading all of MILB in HRs last year, Melendez turned into a pumpkin in 2022.  But that didn't deter KCR from making the call and so far, in early returns, the redo has helped MJ gain his form)     

52.  Gavin Williams               RHP        CLE         22.9         2023      (xFIP 2.24, 7th best in MiLB)

53.  Pete Crow-Armstrong   OF          CHC        20.2         2024      (wRC+ of 200 makes Pete Crow-Armstrong one we're watching in 2022.  The Cubs may have had a coup with this trade with the NYM, boy, leave it to the Mets to let a guy get away)

54.  Nick Yorke                       2B         BOS        20.2         2023      (Started strong, hit a lull...we're waiting to see)

55.  Ezequiel Tovar                SS           COL       20.8        2023      (wRC+ 188  Some thought Tovar should have made the Rockies out of camp.  Looks like AA thinks so too: .343 avg, 6 HRs, 11SBs)

56.  Liover Peguero               SS           PIT         21.4        2023      (wRC+ 155, and looking very good) 

57.  Cade Cavalli                   RHP        WAS      23.8         2022      (A real tough start to Cade's 2022 season in AAA has left many wondering whether he's MLB ready. Well, maybe he's not quite ready, but when he is, he and his 100mph FB will be WAS SP#1)

58.  Ronny Mauricio               SS           NYM      21.2        2023      (Ronny doesn't get as much credit as he should. Think Alfonso Soriano)

59.  Cristian Hernandez         SS           CHC        18.5       2025      (nothing yet to update from the DSL, but we need to get this guy Stateside and into the AFL or something!)

60.  MacKenzie Gore             LHP        SDP        23.3        Debuted (the former top prospect is on top again, and pitching where it counts)

61.  Gunnar Henderson         SS           BAL        20.9        2023      (Its not just the wRC+176 that impresses us, Gunnar is just going to be a stud SS for the Orioles)

62.  Roansy Contreras           RHP        PIT          22.6        Debuted (Why PIT sent Roansy [their best SP] down is anyone's guess. Is it the tankathon?  Is it "innings"?  Its dreadful though, and Contreras deserves to be pitching at PNC park.)

63.  Juan Yepez                     1B           STL         24.3        Debuted   (AAA wRC+ 149, and hitting even better than that in STL!)

64   Jhoan Duran                  RHP        MIN       24.4         Debuted  (left off the fantasy radar and left for dead, Jhoan is back from the Duran and may be Minny's future closer)

65. Spencer Strider        RHP        ATL         23.6              Debuted  (Spencer hit his stride this year, and should be starting in ATL, and maybe soon ATL will make that a reality)

66.  Jose Miranda               2B/3B/1B MIN       23.9         Debuted  (A breakout 2021 had many fans clamoring for a call up, but when that didn't come, we looked for Miranda to repeat his HR barrage in AAA again in 2022, but when that didn't come, many of us went oh-oh...but not MINNY, who a day late and a dollar short went ahead and promoted Miranda anyway)

67.  Colton Cowser             OF          BAL        22.2          2024      (wRC+120) (Um, does this purchase come with power)

68.   Austin Wells                 C             NYY        22.9         2023      (The next NYY catching sensation, again...)

69.   Bryson Stott                SS           PHI         24.7          Debuted  (.111 with 0 HRs is probably not going to do it at the MLB level)

70.  Tyler Soderstrom       C/1B      OAK       20.5            2024     (A horrendous start to 2022 has the Tyler fanclub in disarray)

71.   Nick Lodolo                LHP        CIN         24.3          Debuted (Great success in the minors, but doesn't throw particularly hard; and yet has seemingly gained some velo, but then again, has been hit hard in the majors, followed by a stint on the IL = I don't know, I just don't know what to say....)

72.   Bobby Miller              RHP        LAD        23.2         2023      (Some high heat, but also some struggles in AA)

73.   Kyle Harrison              LHP        SFG        20.8         2024      (Kyle isn't a fireballer, but mixes pitches/location/movement)

74.   Oswald Peraza           SS           NYY        22            2022     (Yikes, somebody may need a re-set)

75.   DL Hall                       LHP        BAL        23.7          2022     (Healthy again, DL Hall is buzzing fastballs through the minors and will be in the show soon, with his battery mate Adley!)

76.   Edward Cabrera       RHP        MIA       24.1            Debuted  (Won't be long before Edward is back in the show)

77.   Mick Abel                  RHP       PHI         20.8           2023    (Mick is able to pitch well, but can Abel do it?)

78.   Reid Detmers            LHP        LAA        22.9        Debuted  (After early struggles in the bigs (and lack of high end velocity), Reid just pitched a no hitter against the TB Rays [clapping])

79.   Curtis Mead              1B/3B    TBR        21.6        2023      (wRC+ 166. This Aussie can hit! But where will he play?]

80.   Dustin Harris            1B/3B    TEX         22.9        2023      (I don't get how this guy is so good. He doesn't profile as being this good, I watch video and go hmph...but his results are undeniable, power and speed, [or just an ability to get on base and steal])

81.   Brayan Bello             RHP        BOS        23          2023      (xFIP 2.59, 19th in MiLB has us asking if you want us to Brayan the heat?  Bello? Bello?)

82.   Andrew Painter        RHP        PHI         19.1        2024      (He may be a Painter, but Andrew's calling was an electrician because the guy is lights out)

83.   Brett Baty                  3B           NYM      22.6       2023       (Hot, cold.....if Brett stays hot, he will soon be in AAA, but wRC+114 is lukewarm)

84.   Jarren Duran             OF          BOS        25.7      Debuted  (A strong start in AAA has us wondering what BOS is going to do)

85.   Shea Langeliers        C             OAK       24.5        2023       (wRC+ 169, 11 Hrs, .317 average.  Do you think the trade from ATL to OAK affected Shea? Hint: "No!" OAK may have a catcher problem, too many!)

86.   Everson Pereira        OF          NYY        21.1        2023      (A short, compact, hard swing should play at every level) 

87.   Matt McLain            SS/2B     CIN         22            2023       (wRC+154. Matt can hit. He may not be putting up HR type power numbers, but he has gap to gap power and is similar to us as a Curtis Mead, defensive utility wise maybe too)     

88.   Nick Pratto              1B           KCR        23.7         2022     (Huge HR potential, but also a huge K rate, wRC+112)

89.   Elly De La Cruz      3B/SS    CIN         20.4           2024     (wRC+130, an oft praised prospect in 2022, Elly got off a bit cool this year, but is beginning to heat up)

90.   James Wood          OF          SDP        19.7         2024      (At 6'7", 240 lbs, this guy is huge. Expect James to bring the Wood once he gets over the injury bug).

91.   Austin Martin         SS/OF    MIN       23.2           2022      (Austin has been falling down the charts after the dearth of power has shown. His position is also a bit of a mystery, as he probably plays multiple positions/utility role]

92.   Jhonkensy Noel     1B/3B    CLE         20.9         2024      (wRC+134)

93.   Steven Kwan           OF          CLE         24.7        Debuted  (To the surprise of everyone except Steven and his family, Steven Kwan was the AL's top rookie over the first 30 days. You want to talk about an effort, team first guy, its Steven Kwan)

94.   Diego Cartaya         C             LAD        20.7        2024    (a slow start in A ball made Diego a bit of a forgotten figure to some, but he has legit power and is a legit future starter in MLB. A wRC+149 reminds us of that.)

95.   Zack Gelof               3B           OAK       22.6        2023      (wRC+123, Gelof should be starting at 3B for OAK right now, no offense to Sheldon Neuse or Kevin Smith)

96.   Nelson Velazquez     OF          CHC        23.4     2023      (just promoted to AAA, Nelson has re-found his swing --  apparently holding a ball (like a volleyball) while swinging can help!  With a rWC+ of 177, the season is legit and Nelson may get the call to CHC before Brennan does).

97.   Moises Gomez         OF          STL         25.3       2023      (Oh Moises, where have you been?  After being released by TB, Gomez was signed to a minors contract by STL and has given the redbirds more than they could have ever asked for, except maybe the exact profile that Moises was originally predicted to have. 2nd overall in the Minors with a wRC+ of 214, Gomez has literally performed more than twice as well as the average minor leaguer this year.  And, all the numbers show it: 14 HRs [leading all of the minors], .374 Avg [12th best in the minors], 1.338 OPS [best in the minors] and an ISO of .538 [which is also tops in the minors, by a lot, 90 points a lot] and symmetrical (31 RBIs, 31 Runs, 31 K's). Is the hot start an aberration (noting that the average has come down from +.400) or is this guy back for real? We think the latter, he's back and here to stay and may be taking a spot in the Cardinal's outfield soon).  For more on Moises: https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2022/4/21/23035151/a-look-at-moises-gomez 

98. Hunter Brown             RHP        HOU      23.8         2023  (99mph, a great ERA in AAA, what's not to like? Oh, all the pitching blocking him)

99. Ryan Pepiot              RHP        LAD        24.8       2022  (Debuted 5/11/22 with 3 IPs, 0 runs but 5 walks, one hit and a HBP. Pepiot has had very good numbers in AAA (and showcases a devastating changeup), but the command and just a tick above average fastball may be his downfall.  You can count him lucky in facing PIT in start 1. Its back to the farm for Ryan for now...)

100. Bryan Ramos             3B           CHW      20.2        2023      (Its not just the wRC+161 that is appealing, but ZIPs loves this guy too: FanGraphs ZIPs has Ramos as its #20 rated prospect)

101. Ryan Cusick               RHP        OAK       22.6       2023      (This guy is legit and doesn't get enough credit. He's been unhittable).

102.  Harry Ford                C             SEA        19.3       2024      (a highly touted athletic prospect that is Daulton Varsho 2.0; but who hasn't yet been able to figure out low A pitching in Modesto of the CAL league)

103.  Oscar Gonzalez       OF          CLE         24          2022  (Oscar G is the most overlooked power hitting OF prospect in all of baseball, once again, nearing the top of the HR leaderboard with 8 [tied for #12] while hitting .311, wRC+140)

104.  Jacob Amaya           SS            LAD        23         2023  (Amaya is just LAD's #15 ranked prospect. So why is he on this list?  Well, it's because he has hit lights out this year in AA, posting a .351 avg [#30 in all of MiLB], and most important a 205 wRC+ [good for top 5 in MiLB].  And how has he done it?  How about 7 HRs and more walks (17) than K's (12))

105. Ken Waldichuk         SP             NYY        24       2022    (With an xFIP of 2.20, which is 5th overall in MiLB, a 45% K rate and a 15.21 K/9, Ken has earned himself a promotion to AAA [NYY do you hear me!!!!], and if he keeps it up, the hard throwing lefty may be in a Yankee uniform before the year is up)
