    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

It's all a very very long shot at this point, but it is cool that he is playing against and alongside the likes of Kumar Rocker, Marquis Grissom's, and Jerry Manual's kids. Last year when he was in the DR, he faced our kid Flores a couple of times-- k'd him swinging and got him to hit into a DP.
    How cool would that be if the Red Sox drafted him? I know it's a long shot for him, but hey, you never know.

    I have been in awe at each step in his development. He turns 16 at the end of this month and over the last 2 years he has been taking giant strides. He is a sophomore and has committed to UConn because the coach told him that he would start him. He might have been able to get into a better program, but schools like Vanderbilt (dream programs) would not make any guarantees for playing time. I think his Dad feels that the most important thing is playing time for a college program while attending as many showcases as possible like the one in Arizona and the upcoming showcase in the DR in February.

    Good for him. Not that many kids even get opportunities like he is getting. He must be pretty good.

    Royals Release Kyle Zimmer. He was a former first round pick in 2012 and the 5th pick overall. Top picks are never locks.

    I am looking for information on Freddie Peralta of the Brewers. He has been called up for a second time this season. He is 2-0 in 3 starts with a 2.30 ERA. The intriguing stat for me is that he has 25 k's in 15 2/3 innings. The kid is 22 and 5'11" and 168 lbs.

    Fangraphs had him #9 on the Brewers' prospect list.
