Baseball was all abuzz last week with the Astros cheating scandal. The organization was fined, lost draft picks, and the manager and GM were suspended for a season. They were later fired by the Astros owner. The Red Sox and Mets managers were subsequently let go as they were mentioned as being involved in the final report on the Astros scandal.

It’s been a while since I posted about any of our young prospects. I would like to complete this series before I begin going to the Complex every day. These articles have been about players I have actually seen.

There are going to be some extremely small sample sizes. Continue reading 2019 Prospect Discussion, 11 thru 33
