    Christian Yelich experimented with several different batting swings until he found something he was comfortable with... Royce just needs to worry about body position and the Twins need to not worry about his launch angle in 2020. There were times in Pensacola, you could see two to three different swings within one at bat for Lewis.

    The Southern League last had block scheduling in 2003 and the main reason they discontinued it was that some teams were pitching fits about not having weekend and Holiday home dates. For a baseball fan point of view, it was nice seeing some teams anywhere from 3 to 4 times in one half and seeing all teams at least once each half. One of my favorite things to do is to ask players that experienced the Pioneer League before last year about the travel. The stories never get old.

    On Twitter, there is speculation you will see a league like the Southern League go back to block scheduling and the divisions do not play each other until the playoffs. So in my example, I would only see Montgomery, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Jacksonville @ Pensacola. This goes along with an article I read last week that stated MLB has already told leagues to get their league travel under 300 miles one way. I think if MLB and MILB would have gotten ahead of these leaks the narrative to these changes would look better. The majority of those stadiums outside of SS have all had major problems with weather, playing surfaces, and dated amenities. Read what the Astros experienced at Quad Cities this season and what happened in High A Daytona. I think along these changes will happen in phases after 202 after lawsuits. For example, the Pioneer League goes away, then the following year the Northwest League, and the etc.

    the success of Pensacola and how that staff dealt with the numerous roster changes probably has something to do with it. Pensacola only had the same position players in the lineup a total of 9 times in back to back games. Ramon Borrego will be interviewing for a MLB managerial position at some point.

    I saw Nick Markakis a lot during his minor league stint and that is the career track I have Alex on. Pure hitter with some sneaky seasons of .300 with 40 doubles and 20 HRs.

    How long does Cody Allen stay with Pensacola ?

    Jay just needs a new environment. Everything about him looked uncomfortable to the point he was the last one in the the dugout before game time and first one out of the stadium after the game. His last pitching performance in Pensacola that I watched was stomach turning and I felt bad for him.

    Having seen a lot of the prep players and having the Wahoos with the Twins I would like to see them take two out of the cluster of Rece Hinds, Gunnar Henderson, and Maurice Hampton.

    I spotted Alex Kirilloff in the Wahoos dugout tonight.

    Long term it doesn't really matter. The Twins have more DR players in their system then the Orioles and the Yankees have more then the Twins. Just different philosophies on how you want to accrue warm bodies. I personally think you want a balance like the Rangers and Braves.

    Saw Jerron Ealy and Maurice Hampton at Battle of the Beach. What a interesting and similar pair. Both have scholarships at Division I schools to play both ways at the same position in both sports. Both could never swing a bat again in 40 days and both could never step onto a college campus. If your taking either of these players on Day 1, they are going to be slow movers. I personally like Ealy better.

    The never understood the distance from the stadium rules with being a host family. My in laws applied in 2015 and were told 16 miles was to far from the stadium. On a good day, they can be from their house to the stadium in 14 minutes. It’s all highway.

    Saw C.J. Abrams, Kendall Williams, Rece Hinds, Brennan Malone, and Daniel Espino this weekend. That’s the order I liked them also. I think Kendall Williams will move quickly once drafted.

    I saw Riley Greene in person last week. I was impressed and his attributes remind me of Albert Almora. He doubled, monster HR, walked, and had a terrible strikeout on a 54 MPH slurve. I will see Jerrion Ealy mid March.
