I programmed a now fully- sentient sports news chatbot that predicted all of this, all the way down to the Franimal McDonald’s bundle meal.

I’m not going to spoil anything for anyone, but according to a source the rest of the season is going to be interesting, with lots of surprising moves on the horizon.

I’ll let you know if if says anything else.

The best is yet to come in terms of prospect arrivals, which is what makes the club being a year ahead of schedule so insanely exciting. Valera, Espino, Rocchio, Bo Naylor, Williams are currently the clear cut top five prospects in the organization in my opinion with each of them having an ETA of 2023. Look for the front office to consolidate some of their prospect capital (excluding the group of guys I just mentioned) at the trade deadline to pursuit a front of the rotation starting pitcher. Everything is coming up roses right now at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario.

Rocchio is finally starting to hit. Tena and Noel are the other 2 guys although Noel screams AAAA player (Bracho kinda fell off)

Yeah, Rocchio was mostly a victim of tough luck with a BABIP of only .260 so far this season at Akron. His BB% is actually at a career high of 12% and his K rate is at 19% which is slightly lower than the K rate he ran last season of 20%. His performance at the plate in Akron last season at only 20 years old where he put up a 135 wRC+ and .212 ISO to go along with his terrific defense at SS put him in the top tier of prospects in the organization.

Noel is who he is. An absolute masher with special bat speed, but also a windmill with not much defensive value. I'm still surprised he was added to the 40 man roster since I'm skeptical any club would have felt comfortable taking him in R5 and putting him on their big league roster. Tena hasn't caught up to Double A pitching yet since getting the promotion and could very well be included in a trade over the coming months with the crazy middle infield logjam in the upper minor leagues.

You spelled Freeman wrong lol

They have so many SS/2B - Tema, Tucker, Arias, Freeman, Rocchio, Tena, Gabby the list goes on. And their philosophy is sound: Grab as many athletic SS as possible cause those guys can pretty much play anywhere.
 
Noel wasn't a windmill until he got to A+ last season.

I think his start this year has been a relative disappointment, but his BABIP is an abysmal .237, hard to comprehend for a guy who hits the ball so hard.

His .296 ISO, which is in line with last season, is impressive...lol.
