Something fun and mostly meaningless.

The ACL Guardians currently have 4 switch-hitting teenagers with an OPS higher than .800.

Juan Benjamin (19) - IF - .322/.474/.525 in 78 PAs
Maick Collado (19) - 1B/3B - .347/.468/.490 in 62 PAs
Angel Genao (19) - SS/2B - .354/.429/494 in 92 PAs (best prospect on this team)
Manuel Mejias (18) - C - .302/.403/.434 in 62 PAs

Combined those 4 have walked 45 times and K'd 49 times.

How does the defense and athletic profiles look for all four?

Jack Leftwich stellar today! 6 innings 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks 11 punch outs!

Are any of these guys other than Genoa legit?

Mejias looks legit, the kind of batted ball profile I like. Robert Lopez was the hyped up name, but Mejias has done better. What about his defense? Does he have a chance at C?

Benjamin also looks like another low signing bonus gem. This seems to be a pattern. A lot of recent seven figure signings have been disappointing (Alduey, Sanquintin, Pastrano), but they've made up for it with the likes of Rocchio, Benjamin, Mejias, Frias, Burgos etc

Also, keep an eye on Wuilfredo Antunez and Sterling Romero, two "older" guys at 20yo who have missed time to injury.

And there's so much more coming from DSL, it's insane

Check out this play by Brennan to steal a HR away from the opposition

Nobody sees or judges a baseball better than this guy!!!

Arias with a nice oppo taco, let's get that guy back on track!! Could replace Clement quite easily. Especially the way Tito uses Clement, Arias will find everyday ABs

What can you people tell me about Jack Leftwich and Alonzo Richardson? Leftwich w a beast outing last night. Have heard some people talking about someone who could be a guy. What’s he throw and how much GAS? He’ll be 24 in September so at High A, not exactly young.

Richardson same questions. Thx

I was waiting for you to tell me, bub.

4 year collegiate player explains his situation in LC. Seems like a much better pitcher in minors than college (where he was in relief), maybe he's filling out, figuring things out. They should move him to AA soon to speed up the process. Where he spends his 24 year old season in AA/AAA. FB reaches 97mph, relies on a slider, working on the change up to mix it between. He might be a player to be high on.

97mph? Oh I like that. That’s borderline GAS.

Seems they fuggin RAKED in the 21 draft w Williams, Bibee, NikCRAZY who DEALT last time, this guy, etc.

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Maybe people are starting to understand Cleveland is a much better farm than projected...

 

[Niklex316]

And Naylor arguably still belongs on that list. Tanner Bibee and Alfrexi Planez should be knocking on the door soon as well.

Personally think Naylor is a better prospect than Allen and Jones are.

He is #4 to me with the year he ia having.
