  1. Learned this weekend that the remaining 19 unassigned players don’t have to be formally added to rosters to count against the player limit. They are considered as part of the Player Development Center and can participate in the Bridge League with the players at the Complex who are on the Complex League roster. (On my lists, I moved them over onto the FCL roster.) I still think most of the pitching will be handled by the FCL pitchers rather than the drafted guys and UDFAs. My count for the stateside player limit is 165. The UDFA who signed on the 1st won’t count against the limit until later in the week.

  2. Because he has missed many games this season due to injury, Gabriel Rincones still is doing quite well. In his 171 PAs, 39 games, which is now more than a SSS, he is slashing .272/.368/.510…(OPS- .878), with 8 HRs and also 13 SBs. Maybe he will go back again to the AFL and get more ABs  out there.

    2. It’s too bad he missed so much time, he could have been at Lehigh already. He should definitely be at ST.

      The issue now are his splits. He rakes RH pitching at a .970 OPS. He’s in the .400 range vs lefties. I fully expect him to start 2025 at Lehigh at age 24.

      1. Yeah…Lehigh seems to be where he starts next season. Now sure how he corrects that split vs LHP…power guys like Harper and Schwarber seem to have done it….but then again it may just take experience seeing more of them, for him to get a reasonable metric vs LHPs.

          1. Yeah…may take more of him seeing LHPs than what he has seen this season and for his minor league career. Next season at LHV he will see the more experienced lefties so that will be a benefit for him. If he is able to repeat this year in the AFL that will also help though it will be just a SSS.

  4. The two orioles pitchers we picked up may have been some low key pickups for our future. Reminds me a little bit of the Eflin pickup for JRoll years ago.

  5. For those wondering about 22-year-old George Klassen’s Double-A debut with the Rocket City Trash Pandas Saturday night, he lasted 3.0 innings against the visiting Birmingham Barons. He threw 70 pitches, 33 for strikes. He allowed 5 hits, 5 runs, and 5 earned runs. He walked 4 and struck out one.

    Klassen did have a good start a week earlier for the Angels High-A team in his organizational debut – 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 10 K, but 3 BB.

    1. If George does not get a handle on control, he may go down the road as Griff McGarry went. The hi-velo guys have to have control. Additionally, comes down to spin rate for many of these hi-velo upper 90 guys. Do the Phillies let you know what the spin rates are for their pitchers?
