    On one hand, this year has been very good for him, but I'd still kind of hold off on saying he's a sure thing next year. He's only got 1 hit in AAA across the 6 games he's been in. A somewhat small sample size still, I know, but he definitely needs to take some more time to adjust to higher level pitching. I still see them having him try out in Spring Training and anything can really happen. Either way, I see him spending at least a month or two in AAA next year to see he can adjust to that level.

    The last time anyone brought up Mike Paredes, we had mentioned how he needs to work on some sort of out pitch that can generate a higher strikeout rate, and someone on the Wind Surge coaching staff must've seen it. Watching today's game he was pulling some strong breaking pitches out a lot and every strikeout he got today came on a whiff on that breaking pitch. Over his last few games, he's currently carrying a 5 consecutive hitless inning streak with 7 strikeouts in that time. Seems like he's found something that's definitely clicking right now, and it's a great time to find it too if you're trying to make a case to sample AAA in September.

    i think they mean more "how long can he last against higher level players" since the jump from AA to AAA can be a pretty big gap. He was finally able to get up to more than 5 innings in Wichita before getting to St. Paul, so now they want to see how long it will take to get him to be able to work to that point or better against other players knocking on the door to MLB. And it would be more of a realistic look at where he's at at this point in his career to see how he adjusts at this level vs continuing to play in AA.

    Fedko might actually be legit. I don't know what deal he made, but he's just exploded this year. Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a call up at this point.

    I know by technical definition he still is one, but I feel like at this point we can safely say Keaschall isn't really a "prospect" anymore since he's at the MLB level and likely is going to be there every day for the foreseeable future. But I get by definition he hasn't really "graduated" yet so there's still the label there. Had he not been injured earlier in the season, he already would've graduated from prospect status by this point.

    I wonder how likely it will be that Sabato ends up making it to the majors next season, he's 26, he's not terrible in St. Paul. I'm sure he'll get a chance to try out in the spring and with the current options, who knows.

    Prielipp getting promoted is a promising sign for him, but I feel like he has had some bad luck in quite a few wichita outings this year that makes me a bit worried he'll have the same struggles as Raya, where people thought he'd be ready by now but has taken a while to really find his stride in AAA. There's really not a rush for him to get to MLB right now, especially with how careful they're being with him. Let him spend the rest of this season in St. Paul and if there's no doubt he's ready, then maybe consider it, but I'd rather have him make his way up in 2026.

    Hasn't been put on the IL or anything, I imagine he'll sit out a couple games though

    He has both positives and negatives. Right now, I do see potential as a depth piece down the line coming into the next two seasons. His main positives are he is very good at limiting hard contact, and in general he pretty much never walks guys(he had one bad month in that regard, but since then he's maybe walked 1 guy a month and that's been pretty consistent in all levels). In general, he's been consistently alright. His strikeout rate is the only concerning stat of his and I know people value that a lot in player development, but I feel like with the amount of playing time they've given him compared to all the other wichita guys, they have to be seeing some potential in him down the line. I can assume they will at least let him sample AAA by the end of the season/start of next and if he can get solid results there, he could end up working as a solid 1-2 inning reliever. If he can get his K rate up/at least show it trending up in this last month of the season, I can see a real shot for him.
