Lots of things happening. Poor LDLR. But I assume that's right, & glad to have ERC back.

Article on Fangraphs comparing the defense of SS prospects.

Here is the blurb on Mayer:
“ Marcelo Mayer, Boston Red Sox
Mayer has been out since August 2 with soreness in his non-throwing shoulder. Portland manager Chad Epperson told The Athletic two weeks ago that Mayer was seven to 10 days from a return, but that has proven to be optimistic. The tape he put down prior to the injury is encouraging, though. I had Mayer evaluated as less likely to stick at shortstop than many of the others analyzed here, but while he still has some issues, his actions should enable him to do so. His hands are fantastically quick and skillful, and this is most evident on double play attempts when he’s either starting things or acting as the pivot man. Mayer is also a much more natural low-to-the-ground athlete than either Holliday or Merrill, and he looks much more comfortable backhanding balls in the hole, though he doesn’t always have the arm to finish that play and his range is a shade below average.”

I was just about to c&p that part when I saw your edit lol
Glad he sees the good fielding, too.
Greenville won 3-0. YORDANNY got the win in his 1st high-A outing & Cepeda got his 4th save.
ROMAN was 3-5 with a double & all 3 RBI.
TEEL was 1-4 with a double & a walk. He also caught the only attempted stealer (who is now 36 of 49).
Paulino was 2-4 with a double & 2 steals (25).
Castro was 2-4.
Kristian Campbell was 1-3 with a walk.

That's a nice catch for Sikes. I guess he's back after a few days off.

This guy thinks he can rank Yordanny higher than me (he was my #9)...

Their continued YORDANNY hesitancy (#29) will be a source of embarrassment for years to come.
They seem really slow to act on pretty much everyone in both directions... with the exception of Johanfran who they rushed up the rankings crazy fast.
Not sure if it's by design & they feel like you shouldn't overreact to small sample sizes, but I'm not sure how they don't feel the electricity.
When I did my 1st rankings on July 5th (back when it was only a top 102) & I had Yordanny 5 & they had him 32.
Now I wonder if I'm underrating him at 9 lol
I don't know. They just take a really conservative approach. Lots of guys with ceilings of emergency utility men & 15th guys out of the pen in the top 60. But then seem to overrate a bunch of SS who can't hit to save their lives. Who knows? I'll stop hating.

He can throw it 96 with some carry & he's 20. I think his fastball will be ok.
I think the more interesting thing is will be be able to start getting deeper into games next year.
