Minor League Updates (7/31) ~ Cards System

[cosmo.kramer]

Single up the middle for Torres makes it 4-0. They've batted around in the first

Blaze Jordan assigned to Memphis AAA

Duce

I may have missed it but you're the only guy in here I go to for info on the kids, what's your opinion on the guys we got from the Mets and Blaze from the Sox?

Thanks

I like the youngster, Baez. Reminds of Carlson's trek through the minors....always too young for the league, but held his head above water. I like the Power, I hope everything comes together for the 20yo.

I like Blaze Jordan, he really benefited from the Sox system...they developed him well. 1 Tool guy...maybe 2 if the Power and Hit can coexist.

I may have been too high on Dohm, initially...AOF educated me a bit earlier. Injury concerns are there, hopefully he holds on for a while.

I like the trades, close to what I expected. No way we could've gotten better last winter...the market wasn't there for a closer. We weren't being offered better for Helsley.

Good return on Matz. But the Sox want to compete, they tend to do crazy things either way.

Thx buddy
