How many AA players in 2018 do you expect will get contracts in MiLB next year?

[Kevin Luckow]

It's hard to put a number on it. You'll see guys getting signed this season yet if MiLB teams have a particular need. Instead of uprooting all the affiliates roster, they may plug in an Indy League player. Guys that have solid years get the Spring Training invites and see where it goes from there. The talent in the league is better than ever so do not be surprised if signings are up from a year ago. I can't put a number on it though.
