2018 Minor League Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
George Valera is gonna be a fucking stud

Yo, those rookie league teams have some studs.

Might have to make a trek home to Youngstown to catch Luis Oviedo also.
 
Tell me more

Universally liked prospect league wide, apparently hit an absolute monster HR yesterday and had 4 RBI.

The Arizona League has all been crushing the ball though, so definitely looking forward to seeing more.
 
Eli Morgan pitched 6 no-hit innings with 9 K's last night
 
That’s an 80 grade bat flip

In about a year's time this system might be one of the best in the MLB which is scary.

Tyler Freeman, Nolan Jones, Will Benson, Luis Oviedo, George Valera, Aaron Bracho, Ethan Hankins, Noah Naylor, Lenny Torres, Cesar Idrogo, Jose Tena, Brayan Rocchio, Roberto Hernandez, Jonathan Rodriguez, Raynel Delgado

I don't remember a time where the Indians have had this much potential high-end talent in the lower minors. Obviously these guys are all eons away from the Majors but it's a pretty impressive collection of talent to go with the guys in the upper minors.

That July 2nd haul of last year though. Holy shit....
 
Oh, so this is where the cool people come and hide.

All we need now is @BimboColesHair, what's your thoughts on the teenagers we have

Cano-esque bat whip through the zone.

Man, you really want to see this dude develop it’s going to be so special if he puts it all together.
